SHOW BIZ

KYLIE Jenner has sent followers wild after posing in a series of eye-popping poolside bikini pics.

Beauty mogul Kylie shared the stunning snaps with fans on her social media displaying her enviable curves in a gold bikini.

The 28-year-old brunette bombshell – who has been busy putting rumours of a split with Timothée Chalamet to bed – took to Instagram to share a series of selfies while lounging by the pool.

Preened to perfection with a full face of make-up, the TV personality wore a metallic two-piece featuring a plunging neckline and matching drawstring bottoms.

Sporting light eyeshadow and mascara on the lashes, she completed the look with pink blush for a radiant glow on her cheekbones and a darker nude-coloured matte tint to her lips.

She styled her long, dark hair with a middle parting, sat on her shoulders in bouncy waves.

She commented on her post: “Ur so hot.”

Fans applauded: “2026 goals,” stunning” and “obsessed.”

Others condemned: “I’d be so embarrassed to pose like this and ask someone to take my picture and then be self-obsessed enough to post it online. Dreadful.”

“Hasn’t she ever heard of OnlyFans?” enquired a second.

“What happens when this woman can no longer post pictures like this for validation? It’s going to hit her hard when she has to be more than just her body!” ranted another.

The entrepreneur played the supportive partner this weekend, attending the 2026 Palm Springs International Film Festival Film Awards to cheer on boyfriend Timothée Chalamet.

The esteemed actor was honoured with the Spotlight Award for his role in Marty Supreme.

Although she skipped the red carpet, Kylie still made a major fashion statement inside the event.

The beauty icon wore a custom Ludovic de Saint Sernin creation – a shimmering, dark orange column dress covered in copper sequins.

The body-skimming design featured a plunging neckline and unique halter straps that criss-crossed at the collarbone.

She paired the look with a matching chrome orange manicure and wore her hair in signature voluminous waves, swept elegantly to one side.

One admirer penned: “Orange is the new love colour.”

“This glam is something else,” confirmed a second.

“You always know exactly how to own a moment,” praised a third.

However, the dramatic look divided fans. One commented: “Kylie used to be one of the best dressed in the family and ever since she got with Timothée her fashion sense has been on a steep decline.”

A second agreed: “She wants her boobs to be the focal point of every outfit. It’s a shame because I agree she could pull off some really gorgeous looks. I’m not saying it’s bad to show cleavage but she doesn’t dress accordingly for the events.”

“All that money but always manages to look like an airhead wearing a prom dress off SHEIN,” noted one unimpressed user.

However, Chalamet appeared not to mention his girlfriend while accepting his award at the prestigious awards bash.

Fans of The Traitors are searching for answers over the show’s new twist – the Secret Traitor. But viewers think they may have spotted a massive blunder in the background of The Traitors: Uncloaked

Eagle-eyed Traitors fans are convinced they have sussed out who the secret traitor is, after an apparent blunder on spin-off show Uncloaked. With the most recent season of The Traitors starting on New Year’s Day, the format was switched up slightly by BBC bosses, who added in a ‘secret traitor’, as well as the three traitors as usual.

But when fans were watching The Traitors: Uncloaked, they spotted what some thought was a blunder on the show’s behalf. Clocking the photos on the wall behind the hosts, one X user wrote: “Why are the 3 traitors pictured on the wall…..with Harriet.”

Another added: “Spoiler: The portraits of the traitors are in the background of #traitorsuncloaked…. Plus an additional one. Harriet the secret traitor! #TheTraitorsUK #Traitors”

A third posted: “Have Uncloaked revealed the identity of the Secret Traitor already?… Imagine though, what a plot twist!? #TheTraitorsUK #TheTraitors”. Although it’s unlikely the producers would make a mistake so obvious, fans are so desperate to crack the puzzle, they are getting “suspicious” over anything – including contestants’ handwriting and choice of words.

During a confessional, psychologist Ellie said she was hesitant as she didn’t want people to think she is the “Secret Traitor”, leading fans to question how she knew those words if the Faithfuls are unaware of this year’s twist. In the interview room, Ellie said: “People will question whether you are sitting and watching as a kind of Secret Traitor…”

Picking up on her choice of words, one fan asked: “Anyone notice Ellie talking in the interview room and saying ‘people will question whether you are sitting & watching as a kind of secret traitor’.”

Another added: “Ellie saying ‘don’t want to look like a secret traitor’ as a faithful who don’t know about a secret traitor??? Suspicious wording.” And a third agreed: “Ellie saying ‘thinking I’m some secret traitor’, why would you say secret and not just traitor unless it’s on your mind?”

Host Claudia Winkleman introduced the new twist to the show on January 1, revealing that for the first time, there would be a fourth traitor, who is unknown to everyone – including traitors and viewers. This secret traitor, who is awarded a scarlet cloak, would call the shots, picking a shortlist of three people that the other traitors could murder.

Speculation is rife among fans, with everyone dying to know who the new secret traitor could be. Last night’s episode (January 3) saw tensions only rise among the traitors, with viewers almost witnessing the uncloaking of the secret traitor.

After Hugo was betrayed by fellow traitor Stephen, the first traitor was banished. The remaining two were set a secret mission that could help them uncover the identity of the secret traitor.

Stephen and Rachel had to highlight the family tree of players with red ink, saying who could be murdered. If they marked nine names, they would not only get to murder a player that evening, but they would also meet the secret traitor.

They succeeded in their mission, but not before almost giving themselves away to Reece. As such, that night, the secret traitor made their way to the traitors’ turret.

But with the credits rolling, viewers will have to wait until at least Wednesday 7 January to find out who it is. That’s if the show reveals it at all.

A BELOVED influencer, actor and Broadway star has died after a lengthy battle with a rare form of cancer.

Bret Hanna-Shuford, 46, passed away just days after posting a heartbreaking photo from his hospital bed of him smiling alongside his husband.

Dad-of-one Bret shared a positive Christmas Day picture where he tragically looked ahead to 2026 and said “hope to see you all soon”.

On Saturday, his partner Stephen Hanna confirmed the sad news that Bret had peacefully passed away.

Stephen said: “It is with a heavy heart that we share the news that early this morning we said goodbye to the most amazing man, husband and Papa in the universe.

“Bret Hanna-Shuford left this world peacefully with love surrounded by his family.

SAD END

Tommy Lee Jones breaks silence on daughter’s death as details of her arrest emerge

“Our hearts are broken but we will continue to make him proud of us.”

He leaves behind his young three-year-old son, Maverick.

The actor, who had roles in the Wolf of Wall Street, Little Mermaid and Wicked, was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer over the summer.

Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) and T-Cell Lymphoma – both rare disorders – left Bret in and out of hospital in his final months.

Both cancers attack the body’s immune system with T-Cell Lymphoma being among the deadliest forms of the disease.

Bret and Stephen were best known for their ever-growing social media page which detailed their family life.

Broadway Husbands managed to amass over 255,000 followers at the time of Bret’s death.

The account would go on to update followers on Bret’s health in recent months.

In October, he revealed he spent three days unconscious in the ICU due to the disease attacking his immune system.

His illness also forced Bret to step away from his graduate studies at the University of Central Florida.

The couple had only just moved into their new home in Orlando at the time.

A GoFundMe was launched for the Broadway star in August.

As of Saturday evening, the page has raised over $315,000 of its $350,000 fundraising goal.

One of the final posts on the fundraiser from December 12, stated how Bret had been in hospital since Thanksgiving.

A post from a friend read: “As many of you may have noticed, posts have been rather radio silent from both Bret and Stephen.

“These past few weeks have been some of the toughest that they have faced in this cancer journey. Bret has been in the hospital since just before Thanksgiving.”

But Bret was believed to have been improving health wise.

“As of today, Bret is looking and feeling better. His liver enzymes have plateaued, which is good, and he is back in the right direction with his oxygen,” the post continued.

He also directed an episode of the Emmy Award-winning Hulu series Only Murders in the Building in 2023, according to his IMDb page.

Bret is also known for his acting and producing work on Disney Royals, Disney Animazent Trio IRL, and In Rehearsal with… Stranger Things the Musical.

He and Stephen, who works at Walt Disney World, tied the knot in April 2011.

THEY once had the world eating out of their hands – then they walked away. 

At the very peak of fame some of the world’s sexiest celebrities have shocked fans by choosing to abandon the red carpets and glamorous modelling deals.

And the reasons are more surprising than you think.

Anna Kournikova

She had the looks and the clout – and was once the most Googled person on the planet.

But since retiring from professional tennis aged 21, Anna Kournikova has stayed out of the spotlight and rarely posts on social media.

In 2002 she was voted the world’s sexiest woman and became a lads’ mag favourite, gracing the covers of Maxim and FHM.

Anna Kournikova shares 1st pic of all four of her children with Enrique Inglesias

These days the reclusive tennis icon lives a normal life being a mum to her four kids.

The turning point for the Russian beauty appears to have been when she found love with latin heartthrob Enrique Iglesias.

They met in 2001 on the set of his “Escape” music video and have been together ever since.

She also said she felt at times like her good looks stood in the way of her game. She previously said: “Being in the spotlight since I was a child was really hard.

“I did feel pressure when people were saying things like, ‘You’re too pretty, you can’t play,’ or whatever.

“I would get so nervous and get anxiety on the court, I wouldn’t be able to move.”

Anna, 44, and Enrique, 48, welcomed their fourth child together earlier this month.

Yasmine Bleeth

Yasmine was one of Hollywood’s hottest stars after she turned a guest appearance on Baywatch – alongside Pamela Anderson – into a three-season stint.

She filmed 72 episodes in total over the space of five years, as well as featuring in several spin-off films and TV shows.

It helped to launch her modelling career, and even led the actress to release her own line of swimwear.

She also dated Matthew Perry and Don Johnson at the height of their fame.

But the former Baywatch star has rarely been seen in public over the past two decades and is now one of Hollywood’s most reclusive stars.

Yasmine faced struggles in her personal life, when her career fell apart due to substance abuse issues.

The screen siren, 56, quit acting in the early 2000s after a battle with addiction that followed her rise to fame in the 90s.

Studios and directors blacklisted her when she relapsed after leaving a rehab clinic and ended up getting arrested in 2001 when police found cocaine in her car following a crash.

While she was in rehab she met strip club owner Paul Cerrito and the pair tied the knot in August 2002.

The couple now split their time between LA and Scottsdale, Arizona.

In 2013, Yasmine remarked: “Consciously trying to stay off drugs is now part of my life and always will be.”

Bridget Fonda

Bridget Fonda has not been seen in a movie role since 2002.

In 1997 she played Melanie in Quentin Tarantino’s action caper Jackie Brown, landing the role after sitting next to him on a plane.

Bridget, also famed for her role in Single White Female, simply claimed the reason she had shunned the spotlight was because she has now surrendered to her “civilian” life.

She won three major awards during her career – two Golden Globes and an Emmy.

Her last acting credit was as the titular character in the 2002 made-for-television film Snow Queen.

Following her retirement, Bridget suffered injuries from a bad car accident in which she fractured her back in 2003.

According to BBC, Bridget was alone in her Jaguar when the vehicle careened over a divider on the Pacific Coast Highway, experiencing “a slight fracture of two thoracic vertebrae.”

She reportedly only survived because she was wearing a seatbelt.

The star did return to the red carpet once in 2009 when she attended the premiere of Quentin Tarantino film Inglorious Bastards.

Bridget is part of the famous Fonda family, which also includes her grandfather – Oscar-winner Henry Fonda of Once Upon A Time In The West – and actress and fitness icon Jane Fonda, 88, who is Bridget’s aunt.

But it didn’t take long before Bridget’s career took off with speed as she starred in The Godfather Part III in 1990.

She was photographed for the first time in over a decade in 2022 and looked a world away from her acting heyday.

Hayden Panettiere

Hayden Panettiere rose to fame on NBC superhero drama Heroes, but her other credits included Nashville, Malcolm in the Middle and Ally McBeal.

Hayden, who played a struggling pop star in drama Nashville in 2012, fell from the spotlight after she turned to the bottle to cope with post-partum depression.

The star also took opioid painkillers to deal with a neck injury which left her in “a lot of pain”, she “mixed” them with alcohol, and they became a “problem”.

Hayden underwent her first stint in rehab in 2015 while still filming for hit show Nashville, before deciding to leave fame behind.

And when she failed to stop drinking the first time round, she returned for treatment in 2021, enrolling in a 12-month programme.

It took eight months of “intensive therapy” to help Hayden get better.

In 2023 she was seen in her first acting role since her struggles, as she reprised her character Kirby Reed in horror film Scream VI.

Hayden also opened up for the first time about her battle with addiction as she recalled her rise to fame on Heroes.

While fans loved her character Claire Bennett, off-screen Hayden was battling some dark demons.

She revealed in the interview that her addiction began with what she called “happy pills,” alleging that she was first offered them before red carpet appearances at just 15 years old.

She told PEOPLE: “They were to make me peppy during interviews, I had no ideas this was not an appropriate thing, or what door that would open for me when it came to my addiction.

“My saving grace is that I couldn’t be messy while on set and working.

“But things kept getting out of control [off set]. And as I got older, the drugs and alcohol became something I almost couldn’t live without.”

Elaine Lordan

EastEnders beauty Elaine Lordan played legendary character Lynne Hobbs from 2000 to 2004.

But Elaine was convicted of drink-driving after consuming five vodkas in 2004, resulting in a one-year driving ban and her departure from the soap.

At the time, a source said: “It was decided to make the changes after she had a few problems with drinking. It has been done to help her rather than to punish her.”

She then left the soap in 2005 and her life took a tragic turn, when her mother died by suicide at the age of 62.

Nine months later, Elaine suffered another tragedy with the death of her one-year-old son James. 

He had breathing difficulties caused by a condition known as diaphragmatic hernia and died just three days after Elaine married his father, former BBC technician Peter Manuel.

She became pregnant again in 2007 but miscarried shortly afterwards. The following year, her father died.

Elaine appeared on I’m A Celebrity in 2005 but was forced to leave after fainting twice on the first day and being airlifted out.

She then largely disappeared from public view, although in 2018 she was seen drinking mini bottles of wine on the street before midday.

She was last pictured in 2020 looking far healthier while out jogging with her husband.

A “masterpiece” that comes from the creator of The Night Manager can be streamed for free.

The Night Manager has made its comeback to our screens, but there’s another “utterly amazing” drama that fans can binge-watch.

It’s been a decade since BBC viewers last saw Loki star Tom Hiddleston as former soldier Jonathan Pine, and now he’s returned for a second series which was initially revealed, much to everyone’s astonishment, in 2024.

The Night Manager, which draws from the bestselling 1990s novel of the same title, isn’t the sole John le Carré tale brought to television.

Eight years ago, another of le Carré’s narratives was transformed into a mini-series focusing on Charlie, an English actress recruited by Israeli intelligence to penetrate a Palestinian terrorist organisation by masquerading as the girlfriend of a bomber’s sibling.

Branded as both the “ultimate spy novel” and “one of the most beautiful heartwrenching love stories”, this alternative to The Night Manager shouldn’t be overlooked.

The Little Drummer Girl, which is available to stream without charge on BBC iPlayer, has garnered tremendous acclaim since its original broadcast.

Writing on IMDb, one viewer remarked: “This was such a breathtaking screen adaptation.”

Another agreed: “This is a beautifully made, written, directed and acted period thriller that has it all.

“This is not your typical Hollywood action fodder but an elegant and stylish piece of theatre,” a third contributor noted.

One devoted fan branded it “utterly amazing” whilst another viewer hailed it as a “masterpiece of acting, pacing and writing”. One viewer gushed: “I am speechless and overwhelmed…This has left me wanting for more, unlike The Night Manager.”

With a near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes score of 95%, on par with The Night Manager, The Little Drummer Girl boasts an impressive cast.

At the centre of the drama is Florence Pugh, known for her roles in Marvel’s Thunderbolts, Little Women and Oppenheimer, who plays Charlie.

She stars alongside Alexander Skarsgard, famed for his roles as Eric Northman in True Blood, Perry Wright in Big Little Lies and Tarzan in the 2016 film The Legend of Tarzan.

Other notable names include Michael Shannon from Death By Lightning, Simona Brown of Behind Her Eyes fame and Clare Holman, known for Inspector Morse.

The Little Drummer Girl is available to stream on BBC iPlayer.

It was the film that helped to launch the career of a Hollywood legend and was a star-studded fantasy movie loved by fans and critics – and is now being shown on ITV tonight.

Kevin Costner took the lead role of Iowa farmer, Ray, in the smash hit Field of Dreams. Joining him as some of the legends on the ghostly baseball film are Ray Liotta and Shoeless Joe Jackson, James Earl Jones as Terence Mann, Burt Lancaster in his final role as Doc Archibald Graham and Amy Madigan as Annie.

Released in 1989 and directed by Phil Aiden Robinson, Field of Dreams was based on the novel, Shoeless Joe by WP Kinsella. As well as being commercially successful, Field of Dreams was also loved by critics. At the time one wrote: “A work so smartly written, so beautifully filmed, so perfectly acted, that it does the almost impossible trick of turning sentimentality into true emotion.”

The film was nominated for three Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Original Score. Today, Field of Dreams holds an impressive 88 percent approval rating on movie review aggregator website, Rotten Tomatoes. One review says: “This is a story about passion, not just for baseball, but also a passion to do something with our one precious life even if people think it’s crazy.”

Another wrote: “It’s hard to imagine a cynicism so hardened that it won’t crumble at the sight of a lush green baseball field nestled into an Iowa cornfield and at this movie’s final inspiring scene of youth and innocence recaptured.” While a third added: “Too idiosyncratic and witty merely to wallow in sentimentality, Field Of Dreams will surely stand as a classic update of what made Old Hollywood so magical. It’s still a wonderful life.”

The film also holds a special place in the heart of fans. One wrote: “This film is pure magic! I have seen this movie probably a hundred times in my life.. I’ve just finished watching it again tonight and I still get the same feeling I got the first time I saw it.” Another said: “One of the greatest films ever made. Men, get ready to cry. My favorite movies are ones that elicit an emotional response. “If you build it, he will come.”

Meanwhile a third added: “This is still probably my favorite movie of all time after seeing it over 30 years ago. A lesson in the value of having faith and valuing family along with paying a homage to baseball when it truly was Americas pastime, it is sentimental nonsense in the best way, as Ray says to Terrence Mann when returning back to Iowa to after picking up Moonlight Graham, “It’s Perfect!””

Field of Dreams is airing on ITV4 at 6.50pm on Sunday, January 4.

‘This wants so bad to be Romancing the Stone, but it can’t even be Jewel of the Nile’

A modern rom-com that harkens back to an 80s’ classic while featuring a pair of A-list stars is on British telly tonight (Sunday).

Starring Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum, The Lost City was released in 2022 to generally positive reviews, earning back almost three times its budget.

Bullock plays Loretta Sage, a former archaeology researcher who writes romance-adventure novels. She reluctantly agrees to go on a book tour with a cover model for her fictitious hero, played by Tatum, but both find themselves embarking on an adventure, searching for a lost city that hides a priceless treasure.

The movie also features Brad Pitt in a rare supporting role, while Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe plays against type as an egotistical, eccentric billionaire who acts as the film’s ultimate baddie.

The Lost City has a 78% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which says that while “The Lost City doesn’t sparkle quite as brightly as some classic treasure-hunting capers such as Romancing the Stone, its stars’ screwball chemistry makes this movie well worth romancing.”

One critic wrote: “The Lost City is every bit the romantic adventure we didn’t know we needed and then some. It’s fun and hilarious, and its on-the-nose praise of the romance genre is something we’ll never tire of exploring.”

Another was more circumspect, writing: “Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum get blindsided by a wonky and aimless script better suited for the balls-to-the-wall performances of its side characters.”

Movie fans were also divided on the film, which has some big supporters but more than a few who were left unimpressed. One wrote: “Enough laughs to make it enjoyable. All the actors did great in it. Sandra Bullock is really good at doing clumsy slapstick.”

A second stated: “It was such a funny treat. All the cast and crew were amazing. It had the whole theatre laughing. I’d definitely recommend watching this film.”

A third said: “Very enjoyable adventure-romance-comedy movie. I loved it. Highly recommend!”

However, some thought it paled in comparison to the classics: “This wants so bad to be Romancing the Stone, but it can’t even be Jewel of the Nile… It’s fun enough to be a passable time-waster, but it’s not compelling or unique enough to leave a lasting impression.”

Another wrote: “Clicked play immediately upon seeing the cast – found myself extremely disappointed that such great actors would partake in such an overplayed, cheesy plot. Paying attention was a chore.”

The Lost City airs on E4 tonight (Sunday, January 4) at 9pm.

RHIAN Sugden has a message of hope for people thinking of getting a breast reduction.

The former Page Three girl, 39, went braless after forking out more than £10,000 for a reduction and breast lift to show her fans how her boobs had changed.

She reshared a video she first posted on Instagram to send a message of encouragement for anyone who was thinking of undergoing breast augmentation.

Rhian donned a chic black jumpsuit with a plunging neckline, almost down to the waist, so that much of her breasts were on display.

The video started with Rhian showing what her boobs looked like in that outfit both from the front and posing sideways to the camera.

Then she shared the results of her breast reduction and lift as she looked at the camera with a big smile on her face. Her breasts sat higher on her chest and were rounded.

“In June I said goodbye to 500g from EACH boob. That’s basically a bag of sugar per cheb… no wonder my back was crying for help,” she captioned the post.

Rhian continued to say the surgery was “one of the best decisions” in her life, which has helped reduce back pain and she was even able to take up running.

“I can wear clothes without limiting my style because of bra styles. My boobs are still big, just way more manageable and actually feel like they belong to my body now,” Rhian wrote.

“The pain + recovery? Nowhere near as bad as I’d built it up in my head.”

She added: “The confidence glow-up though? I feel it was the mummy makeover I needed.”

Rhian then told her fans that if they were considering a similar surgery but were afraid, that “this is your sign that it’s okay to choose comfort, confidence and feeling like yourself again over super heavy shoulder boulders that are uncomfortable.”

Her fans rushed to the comment section to shower her with praise.

“You being happier, healthier, just shines on you. You’re entering your radiant era lady,” wrote one fan.

Another added: “Look fabulous @rhiansuggers Glad it was a success and its all healed x Happy 2026.”

And a third wrote: “Beautiful with amazing figure.”

She went under the knife in 2025 for a breast uplift and reduction, after giving birth to her son George saw her breast size jump from a DD/E to an F cup.

The model also revealed her nipples had been sitting 11cm lower than they should have been after giving birth because “gravity took its toll.”

The model is married to actor Oliver Mellor, and they welcomed son George in December 2023 after a gruelling IVF journey.

OASIS star Liam Gallagher is facing a new court order to reveal how much money he has earned from the band’s hugely successful reunion tour, The Sun on Sunday can reveal.

A court hearing is set to be held in New York this month after the mother of the singer’s love child filed a fresh legal motion to access his latest finances.

Liza Ghorbani is trying to obtain the singer’s bank records, tax returns and credit card statements to show how much he is now worth, say experts.

It will be the first time the band’s tour finances — which are estimated to be more than £350million — face being exposed to public scrutiny.

Ms Ghorbani wants to use the fresh information to prove he should stump up the £500,000 a year she’s claiming for the care of their daughter Gemma, 12, who was born in 2013 after an affair.

Liam, 53, and his brother Noel, 58, are expected to have raked in millions of pounds for last year’s sell-out Oasis Live ’25 reunion world tour.

LAST FAREWELL

Liam Gallagher carries Gary Mounfield’s coffin as Beckham leads mourners

The band, whose 1994 debut album Definitely Maybe has sold 15million copies worldwide, is estimated to have made £303million from ticket sales alone — with another £40million from sponsorship deals and merchandise.

More cash to come

Last week The Sun on Sunday told how Liam treated himself after the tour, splashing out on Arsenal star Tony Adams’s £4.25million Cotswolds mansion.

And there could be more cash to come as he has been teasing fans about new tour dates in the next couple of years.

It is understood that Ms Ghorbani, 51, is trying to access details on all of their tour-related income.

We can reveal that lawyers for the US music journalist have filed an application for an Order to Show Cause in New York’s Supreme Court.

The judge hearing their case, Mr ­Jeffrey Pearlman, has been asked to consider a motion to compel both sides to answer further questions and provide more information to help him make a decision.

He has set a date later this month for a fresh court hearing.

Ms Ghorbani has filed various documents into the court, including 15 exhibits setting out her specific requests on what she wants from Liam’s lawyers.

Details of her exact demands have not been disclosed.

But top New York family lawyer Morgan Mazer said Liam will have to hand over the documents relating to tour earnings during a process in the case called discovery.

Ms Mazer said: “Ms Ghorbani can get access to the tour merchandise sales, if it’s a side thing Mr Gallagher is earning money from.

He has been more than generous over the years and is standing firm with his legal team

Source close to Liam

“Ms Ghorbani will want to look at any employment and income, any perks that Mr Gallagher has.

“Credit card statements are relevant because some people don’t always show all their income on their tax returns.

“With the credit card statements you can glean what somebody is making based on their lifestyle. The powers to determine what you should pay in child support are broad.”

Yesterday a source close to the singer told The Sun on Sunday: “Liam has been focused on enjoying Christmas with his family and not letting this court case get to him.

“He has been more than generous over the years and is standing firm with his legal team.”

In March we revealed Ms Ghorbani had filed a lawsuit demanding more money despite the case being settled in 2015.

The rocker responded by slamming her on X as a “gold digger”.

He also posted a link to the 1963 Beatles song Money (That’s What I Want).

His tax returns will be sophisticated so you will likely want a forensic accountant to review them

Dror Bikel, New York family lawyer

Ms Ghorbani claims she needs more money because Gemma is autistic and her needs have changed.

Liam’s lawyer Judith Poller has called it an attempt to cash in on the Oasis tour.

Dror Bikel, another respected New York family lawyer, said the examination of Liam’s finances could be extensive.

He added: “When the accountants sink their teeth into it, people are in for a ride.

“His tax returns will be sophisticated so you will likely want a forensic accountant to review them and you can find out what investments he has, what property he owns.

“You start with the tax returns and go from there.”

And he said Liam could be held in ­contempt of court if he refuses to hand over more information.

Mr Bikel went on: “He could face financial penalties and the severest ­punishment is incarceration.

‘Could be consequences’

“If he doesn’t hand over his financial details there could be consequences.”

Mr Bikel also chided Liam for insulting Ms Ghorbani and said that it was “never a good idea” because “courts don’t like those kinds of things”.

In June the New York court heard Liam has paid out more than £750,000 since 2015. His lawyers said he later agreed to pay £180,000 towards Gemma’s school and autism-related expenses.

But Ms Ghorbani is demanding £510,000 a year to cover child support and expenses.

She and her daughter live in a £3,300-a-month Manhattan apartment. Her new demands include £22,500 a month for a home with a pool, £75,000 a year for a live-in nanny and a £5,000 holiday budget.

Liam, who has three other children, is said to have had a fling with Ms Ghorbani in 2011 soon after she interviewed him, while he was married to singer Nicole Appleton.

The Traitors debuted a new twist for season four in which there is a red-cloaked secret traitor that is calling the shots from the shadows, unknown to faithfuls, traitors and viewers alike

The Traitors‘ secret traitor may have just unmasked themselves. During a confessional, psychologist Ellie said she was hesitant as she didn’t want people to think she is a “Secret Traitor”, leading fans to question how she knew those words if the Faithfuls are unaware of this year’s twist.

In the interview room, Ellie said: “People will question whether you are sitting and watching as a kind of Secret Traitor…” Fans picked up on her choice of words.

“Anyone notice Ellie talking in the interview room and saying ‘people will question whether you are sitting & watching as a kind of secret traitor‘,” one fan asked.

Another added: “Ellie saying “don’t want to look like a secret traitor” as a faithful who don’t know about a secret traitor??? Suspicious wording.” And a third agreed: “Ellie saying ‘thinking I’m some secret traitor’, why would you say secret and not just traitor unless it’s on your mind?”

The secret traitor is a new twist on the show. At the start of the first episode, which aired on 1 January, host Claudia Winkleman revealed that, this year, there would be a fourth traitor that is unknown to everyone, including the other traitors and viewers. This traitor, who was awarded a scarlet cloak, would call the shots, picking a shortlist of three people that the other traitors could murder.

Fans have been dying to know who this secret traitor is. Their moment to witness this traitor’s uncloaking almost came in episode three.

During tonight’s episode (3 January), the first traitor was banished. After Hugo was betrayed by fellow traitor Stephen, the remaining two were set a secret mission that could help them uncover the secret traitor.

Stephen and Rachel were told to mark the family tree of players with red ink, indicating who could be murdered. If they managed to mark nine names, they would not only get to murder a player that evening, but they would also meet the secret traitor.

They succeeded in their mission, after almost giving themselves away to Reece. As such, that night, the secret traitor made their way to the traitors’ turret.

But as they arrived, the credits rolled. This means fans have to wait until Wednesday 7 January to find out who it is, if the show tells us at all. Fans have found another way to root out the secret traitor though, should we not meet them.

After the first murder shortlist was revealed, fans noticed that Netty’s name was misspelled as Nettie. As such, they suggested that if they saw someone at the round table misspell Netty’s name, that person could be the secret traitor.

Unfortunately for amateur sleuths, Netty was murdered and therefore never voted for at the roundtable. But the point still stands, and fans have been taking note of the handwritten murder list. One said: “Based on the hand writing on the short list, I think Roxy could be the secret traitor.”

MANCHESTER United midfielder Mason Mount has found love.

I can reveal that the England international was seen with his arm around marketing executive Jordan Porter on a family trip to Lapland in Finland over the Christmas period.

It is understood that the couple met through Mason’s pal Ben Harris who is engaged to Jordan’s sister Jodie.

A source said: “Mason and Jordan have been friends for a long time after being introduced through Ben.

“Family is important to Mason so having Jordan on the Lapland trip meant a lot.

“Mason’s performance on the pitch has also improved so it looks like Jordan is a keeper.”

VINNIE & THE GUYS

Mason shared a snap of himself with his arm around Jordan at Lapland with his 5.6million followers last month.

The footie ace also posted a glimpse of two red stockings under his Christmas tree, embroidered with an M for Mason and J for Jordan. His brother Lewis also shared a picture of their family to his 16,600 Instagram followers.

Mason was pictured next to Jordan and with his arm around his dad Tony.

The pair were first linked in February 2024 when they were both pictured with a group of friends at the v.

Mason and Jordan also joined Ben and Jodie on their trip to Ibiza in July.

Jordan is Head of Experiences for London-based event planning service, GP Management, and grew up in South East London.

Mason confirmed that he had split from model Chloe Wealleans-Watts to Tatler magazine in 2022, following a five-year romance.

Asked about his relationship status, he said: “Football is my priority.”

It sounds like Jordan is his new No1.

Tim’s scored Ad

MOVIE star Timothee Chamalet is a huge football fan, supporting both Chelsea FC and French club AS Saint-Etienne – and now I can reveal he has been signed up by sports giant Adidas to film a huge World Cup ad.

The actor, who is dating Kylie Jenner, shot a top-secret campaign last month in Barcelona alongside Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny, ex of Kylie’s sister Kendall, and British Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham.

A source tells me: “Adidas bosses were chuffed to bring Timothee on to the ad and paid a lucrative fee.

“It is believed the film will drop during the lead-up to the World Cup.”

Timothee has recently been on an epic press tour for his latest flick Marty Supreme, while mostly donning movie merch.

He’ll have to mix that up once the ad drops.

Jossa is strong for family

JACQUELINE JOSSA is determined to start 2026 in strong spirits, despite a probe into online death threats against her.

I revealed last month how the EastEnders actress had been sent menacing messages on social media, and had reported them to her BBC bosses.

But Jac who shares two daughters with husband Dan Osborne, is focusing her energy on her family and work.

A source said: “She trusts the police to investigate. She is not changing her routine and she is still fulfilling her commitments with family and work.

“She is very calm and content in the knowledge the police are dealing with it.”

Jacqueline posted Instagram snaps with the children and Dan in London’s Covent Garden last month.

She wrote: “I love this time of year so much. I love the age the kids are now. They are older but the magic is still here, it’s just different.”

It comes as the actress, who plays Lauren Branning in Albert Square, feared for her character when the soap’s top boss called her in for a meeting last year.

Of the flash-forward episode that aired on New Year’s Day, she said: “It’s always scary when you get called up to a meeting.

It’s either, ‘You’re going to be thrown off the roof of the Vic’ or it’s just a catch-up.”

Tina will Corrie on

CORRIE star Tina O’Brien has signed a new contract keeping her on the cobbles for another year.

The star, who began playing Sarah Platt in 1999, had a tough 2025, splitting from her husband Adam Crofts – father of her son Beau – after seven years of marriage.

Tina who also has daughter Scarlett with her former co-star Ryan Thomas, then revealed in November her beloved dad Steven had died.

A Corrie source said: “Tina had a very difficult 2025, so bosses wanted to reassure her there was nothing to worry about where her job was concerned. She put pen to paper just before the Christmas break.

“Obviously, there have been a lot of changes over the last few months and the last thing they wanted was for her to worry about her role on Corrie.

“She is very much adored on set and her character has got some big things coming up this year.”

Hopefully, 2026 is off to a better start . . .

A “masterpiece” biopic starring Robert De Niro is streaming on Netflix in the UK

A “masterpiece” biopic featuring Robert De Niro is available to stream on Netflix in the UK as of this week.

Raging Bull (1980) stands as a biographical sports drama adapted from world champion boxer Jake LaMotta’s memoir.

De Niro portrays LaMotta, whose “violence and determination led him to the very top inside the ring but destroyed his relationships outside it”, according to the BBC’s synopsis.

The cast of this Martin Scorsese-directed picture, a frequent De Niro collaborator, features Joe Pesci as Jake’s younger sibling and former manager, plus Cathy Moriarty as Jake’s long-suffering spouse Vickie.

The production secured two Academy Awards, with De Niro claiming Best Actor honours and Thelma Schoonmaker earning Best Editing recognition, cementing its status as a timeless classic, reports the Express.

Film blog Taste of Cinema declared it the “greatest biopic of all time” in a glowing post, celebrating both its performances and “surrealist” boxing sequences.

Devotees have flocked to IMDb to heap praise upon the picture, with one branding it a “masterpiece” whilst commending Scorsese’s directorial prowess.

“The fight scenes are famous for their brutal realism and it’s easy to see why,” they penned.

“He puts you right in the ring with the fighters and you cant help but admire their technical brilliance. However, the most stunning aspect of all is Thelma Schoonmaker’s editing.

“It’s some of the best editing I’ve ever seen especially during the fight scenes where it’s positively breathtaking.”

Another viewer praised: “Besides the legendary performance of Robert De Niro, there are many things in this film that will remain in my heart forever: the splendid black & white, the contrast between the slow moving scenes and the frenetic ones, the choice of the music and the sense of loss which entangles the whole movie.”

A third fan hailed the fight scenes as “are the most brutal that I have ever seen on film even though there’s only like 12 minutes of them and the editing is simply brilliant”.

They lamented: “It should have earned Scorsese a best director Oscar but at least they had enough sense to award de Niro the best actor Oscar,” adding: “I’ll come back to this film forever.”

FANS of Peter Andre have been sent into a tizzy after he began teasing an undisclosed new project online today.

The Mysterious Girl singer, 52, is loved for many things, from his warm smile, quips, and chart-topping tracks.

So him teasing an unknown project on his Instagram page today is bound to have had an effect.

Peter kept things simple, posting a plain cream background to his story, scrawled with the words “Something coming.”

Underneath in red lettering is the date for January 23, indicating that something special will be happening in a few weeks.

The date flits between flashing from red to white, drawing a viewer’s attention.

The only other feature in the announcement is upbeat music playing in the background.

So could this mean that Peter is making a return to his music career?

Peter first launched into the music industry back in the mid-90s with major hits like Mysterious Girl, Flava, and I Feel You.

He rapidly gained popularity, becoming both a heartthrob and a leading artist.

After competing on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in 2004, his music entered prominence again.

It was around this time that Mysterious Girl was propelled to number 1 on the charts.

He released more successful albums off the back of the smash hit, including The Long Road Back with popular track Insania.

Though after the 2009 and 2010 album drops of Revelation and Accelerate, his career largely diversified into television.

Most notably, Peter starred in programmes alongside ex-wife Katie Price.

But he also worked on his own shows including Peter Andre: My Life.

Since his split from Katie, Peter’s been living a busy family life with wife Emily, who he married in 2015.

Together they share three children – Amelia (11), Theodore (8), and Arabella (1).

On his social media, Peter describes himself as many things including a “proud dad, award winning singer/songwriter, actor, producer and TV presenter.”

He also adds that he’s a “happy guy”, reflected by his beaming smile in many Insta snaps.

Waiting for the Out follows a man who teaches philosophy to prison inmates

The BBC has been slapped with complaints as viewers fumed over a new prison drama on Saturday (January 3).

New six-part drama Waiting for the Out has been penned by award-winning screenwriter Dennis Kelly from Andy West’s memoir, The Life Inside.

It follows Dan Stewer (played by Josh Finan), who decides to teach a group of male inmates about dominance, freedom, luck and other topics that have troubled philosophers for thousands of years. These topics also gain a new meaning when seen through the prisoners’ eyes, both igniting passions and creating tension.

The official synopsis continues: “Through his work, Dan begins to dig deeper into his own past – growing up with a father (Gerard Kearns) who ended up in prison, as did his brother Lee (Stephen Wight) and uncle Frank (Phil Daniels). Dan took a different path, but this time working in a prison begins to make him worry, obsessively, that he belongs behind bars just like his father.

“As Dan’s personal crisis deepens, his actions begin to threaten both his own future, and his family’s.”

The show’s cast also includes Samantha Spiro, Phil Daniels, Ronkẹ Adékoluẹjo, Neal Barry, Alex Ferns, Francis Lovehall, Steven Meo, Ric Renton, Tom Moutchi, Nima Taleghani, Sule Rimi, Charlie Rix and Jude Mack.

The first episode saw Dan begin his first day teaching philosophy in a men’s prison. The lesson soon unravelled as he realised he’d underestimated his audience – and the weight of his own past.

Fixating on small details, Dan lost control of the class, risked his chance to become a father and broke an important promise to his new girlfriend. But when a familiar face resurfaced, Dan was soon forced to confront someone he thought he’d left behind.

BBC viewers were quick to share their complaints after watching the episode, with many sharing their frustration on X (formerly Twitter). “Well this is 45 mins of my life I won’t get back,” one person wrote.

Another added: “This is so weird,” while a third said: “God this is awful. Fella has no survival instinct. I’d be out of there. Don’t think they’d lock him in there alone with no way out.”

Meanwhile, other viewers were impressed with the contents of the episode, with one person writing: “Wow very interesting style! Quite different from anything else I’ve seen,” while another shared: “Just watched #WaitingForTheOut and I think it’s going to be brilliant.”

Andy West, executive producer and author of The Life Inside, previously said in a statement: “I’m so thankful to the writers, directors, producers and everyone involved in adapting The Life Inside. They have brought extraordinary creative and moral imagination to the stories in the book. We all hope to make a series that goes beyond the clichés about prisons and the families inside them and that touches people either side of the wall.”

Writer and executive producer Dennis Kelly added: “It’s not at all unusual for the men in Andy West’s family to end up in prison – but Andy is the only one that chose to be there. His book is funny, insightful, beautiful, genuinely heartbreaking and nothing like what you’d expect it to be – we’ve tried to take that into the series. God alone knows if we’ve succeeded, but we’ve tried…”

SIR David Beckham’s Hollywood star ceremony could be overshadowed if son Brooklyn snubs it despite living nearby.

A date is being fixed over the next few months for the Walk of Fame unveiling, less than five miles from the house Brooklyn shares with wife Nicola Peltz.

And things could get awkward — as it comes after he ignored a loving New Year’s message from his football star father amid their ongoing family feud.

A source said: “Brooklyn snubbing David’s special day will be a very public humiliation as he lives in Hollywood.

“Of course, David is hopeful the family will have mended their relations by then, especially after he has offered an olive branch to Brooklyn. The rift has been a great cause of heartache.”

David, 50, was included in the Hollywood Walk of Fame class of 2025 after the success of his Netflix documentary. His engraving will include his title “Sir” after he was knighted by King Charles.

Nominees have two years to schedule their ceremony, and his is set to take place before the summer World Cup in the States.

Other honourees include rockers Green Day, actress Jessica Chastain and ­rapper Busta Rhymes.

On New Year’s Eve, Sir David posted a series of pictures on Instagram showing him with his four children. It included a shot of him and his eldest Brooklyn smiling cheek to cheek, with the caption: “I love you all so much.”

However, he got no response from Brooklyn, 26, who lives with actress Nicola, 30, in an £11.8million villa in Beverly Hills.

Last month, the wannabe chef skipped childhood pal Holly Ramsay’s wedding to swimmer Adam Peaty and spent Christmas with his billionaire in-laws in Miami.

David’s spokeswoman declined to comment. 

THEY have barely aged in 20 years and can still fit into the hotpants that turned them into overnight stars.

Now, Cheeky Girls Monica and Gabriela Irimia, who first ­wiggled their way into the public eye on 2002 TV show Popstars: The Rivals, have revealed their secret to defying time at 43.

Gabriela said with a laugh: “People always ask us our secret to looking good. We have a few strict rules — no eating after 7pm, exercise every day . . . and lots of sex.”

Gabriela was famously engaged to ex-Liberal Democrat MP Lembik Opik, prior to meeting partner Adam Zubek seven years ago.

She said: “I’m really happy in my life now. Lembik was a ­genuine guy, we had a great relationship. But there was a lot of pressure from all sides, including from his party.”

Monica married building contractor Shaun Taylor in 2016.

POP ROYALTY

RIP MTV

Inside mad world of MTV that launched careers of Davina and stars as channel closes

Their catchy Cheeky Song (Touch My Bum) co-written by their mum, Hungarian former midwife Margrit, was voted the “worst pop record of all time” in a 2004 Channel 4 poll.  

Yet it sold 1.2million copies worldwide, reaching No2 in the UK charts.

And bookings are hotter than ever for the twins, who also work in the motoring trade, due to the famous track ­taking off on social media and TikTok.

Monica, who is younger by ten ­minutes, said: “People ask us if we’re now ‘cheeky women’ but no, we’re still cheeky girls.

We haven’t had any work done — except our boobs and our teeth, which were a 40th ­birthday present to ourselves.

“We’re proof that, at 43, you can still be sexy, have two successful careers and also have fun.

‘Best of both worlds’

“We’ve performed at some of the biggest festivals, tiny gigs and at old people’s homes and student unions, and we love every minute of it.

“Our smallest gig was for three people at a hunting lodge for a multi- millionaire on a shooting weekend. Our strangest was for a room of deaf people who danced to the vibrations.”

As for those shiny silver hotpants, two years after Kylie Minogue rocked hers in Spinning Around?

Monica said: “The hotpants still fit. I think the bums have got a tiny bit bigger. We’re a little bit curvier, but in a good way.”

The hotpants still fit. I think the bums have got a tiny bit bigger. We’re a little bit curvier, but in a good way

Part of the siblings’ appeal these days is they cock a light-hearted snook at woke cancel culture.

Gabriela said: “Society is now becoming so serious. You can’t say this, you can’t do that . . . Where’s the novelty? Where’s the fun?

“But you can’t cancel us for being cheeky or you’d have to cancel Kylie Minogue and her hotpants, too.”

At the height of their fame, the girls mingled with A-list celebs and ­Gabriela claimed Robbie Williams once tried to charm her when they were both single.

She said: “Robbie was my teenage crush and I was privileged to meet him at an after-party for the Ant And Dec TV show.

“He chatted me up and I chatted him up. He was single, I was single. He told me, ‘You’re beautiful’. I ­fancied him. But it stopped there, unfortunately. Nothing happened.”

And they revealed their biggest celebrity fan was none other than heavy-metal legend Alice Cooper.

Monica said: “When we met Alice Cooper, who is our idol and an iconic artist, he said ‘Oh my god, girls. I love you!’ We were like, ‘Alice Cooper, a fan?’ That made our year.”

We’ve still got it and we are loving every moment

Now, 23 years on from their breakthrough hit, the Romanian twins both work in Audi car showrooms by day — Gabriela in York and Monica in Boston, Lincs — and insist: “There’s always a cheeky deal to be had.”

But people still sing the lyric, “We are the Cheeky Girls” at them in the supermarket or shout, “Cheeky, cheeky!” on the street.

Senior car saleswoman Gabriela said: “By day, we are suited and booted working for Audi cars, but we perform as the Cheeky Girls in ­hotpants by night.

“So we have the best of both worlds. We’ve still got it and we are loving every moment.”

Monica revealed that when customers come in, some do a double take, while others struggle to place how they know the pair.

She revealed: “All the time, customers say to us, ‘Do I know you from somewhere?’. We joke, ‘Do you want a cheeky deal?’.

“You see them frantically scrolling on their phones to check if it’s really us. Others say, ‘Oh, I don’t want to be cheeky, but can I have £1,000 off?’ — then you know they know!

“I’ll joke, ‘Maybe that’s a little too cheeky, but I can definitely offer you a great deal . . .’

“Both of us are petrolheads who love prestige cars, so we love our career as much as we love being pop stars.

“The only thing that could top it would be if we were invited to present Top Gear or appear on Strictly Come Dancing.”

To celebrate the release of their new song Drive, inspired by their day job, they have performed a tongue-in-cheek version of the Cheeky Song (Touch My Bum), instead singing “touch my bumper”, exclusively for Sun on Sunday readers to watch online.

The twins revealed that Love Island bosses had begged them to appear on the show — but they refused.

Gabriela said: “We did get an invitation to go to Love Island but it’s not our thing.

“We wouldn’t want to be seen ­having sex on camera or kissing boys. It’s tacky. If we were to go to Love Island, we’d be boring!”

We are available, 23 years on! We reckon we’d take Britain to glory again

They also insisted they will never do OnlyFans.

Gabriela said: “Twenty years ago, we did magazine covers, including FHM. We’d still be up for that. But you’ll never find us on OnlyFans. If anyone claims to be a Cheeky Girl on there, it’s not us.”

One gig the girls would love to land is Eurovision.

Louis Walsh, who was a judge on the show that shot them to fame, wanted the duo to represent ­Britain in the contest with a version of ­Baccara’s 1977 hit, Yes Sir, I Can ­Boogie.

Gabriela revealed: “At the time, we had the dilemma: would we represent Romania or the UK? But we’d do it now for the UK.

“So Louis, call us. We are available, 23 years on! We reckon we’d take Britain to glory again.”

‘Loss of control’

As well as the highs that come with scoring hit singles, including Take Your Shoes Off and (Hooray Hooray) It’s A Cheeky Holiday, there have been crushing lows.

It all nearly came crashing down as their record label, Telstar, collapsed — reportedly owing them more than £1million. They were declared ­bankrupt in 2009.

Monica recalled: “We are ­talking huge bills. Where do you go? What do you do?”

The pressures led them to spiral into an eating disorder. At one point, they each weighed just 6.5st.

Monica added: “It started with loss of control over everything. You feel like you want to take control of something and the only thing you can control is what you put in your mouth and do with your body.”

While both have now recovered, they are open about their battle to let other sufferers know there is hope.

Monica said: “We recovered many years ago. But we speak openly about this to raise awareness because of the pressures young people feel, ­particularly with social media.

“It also taught us a really important lesson — to stay positive.”

The twins both felt pressure to have boob jobs, after being sidelined for a bustier woman in their music video for Cheeky Holiday.

Gabriela’s first operation was a ­disaster, and she said: “My body rejected the implant. One boob was up, one boob was down.”

She has had a series of operations to correct it.

In 2017, one of her sister’s implants ruptured in two places.

But Monica said they now love their bodies, adding: “When I was in my 20s, you’re not that confident.

“I’ve now reached a stage where I feel I’m completely confident. I feel really sexy. We both feel that way.”

The twins hope to continue juggling their day jobs and singing careers.

Gabriela said: “Due to social media and TikTok, a whole new generation is coming to see us. It’s amazing.

“As long as the phone keeps ringing, the Cheeky Girls are going to be around.

“It’s worked for 23 years, we hope it will work for another 23. Who knows, we may even end up performing one day as the Cheeky Grandmas!”

A REALITY star just clapped back against trolls in the sassiest way, uplifting women of all shapes and sizes.

The former Love Triangle contestant, 29, has grown tired of trolls making unnecessary remarks about her weight.

So she snipped out one of the nasty comments and posted a simple yet effective response – immediately shutting the troll down.

Sadie Bass got dolled up in a gorgeous forest green bodycon dress with a plunging neckline.

The darts at the waists cinched in her fabulous figure, while she confidently smiled her red lips towards the camera.

She finished the look off by curling her hair into a vintage-esque wave that flowed freely down her shoulders.

“is this body CHUBBY or curvey… am confused,” said the rude comment Sadie pasted next to the clip of her in the stunning down.

But Sadie clapped back: “This body is *HOT I hope that clears up any confusion x” while mouthing along to Michael Jackson‘s Dirty Diana, flaunting her beauty.

As Sadie flipped her hair and modelled the dress to perfection during the clip, her fans couldn’t get enough.

“Damn straight,” said one user in the post’s comments on Instagram.

A second added: “Always sexy and beautiful xxx.”

A third empathised with Sadie’s feelings about women being labelled: “Beautiful!

“I had an ex who called me chunky and I was upset at the fact he even had to put a label on it.”

Captioned, “People’s obsession with categorising women’s body types is BORING. can we leave it in 2025 pls???”, fans adored Sadie’s striking between sass and profound messaging.

Sadie appeared on season two of the Channel 4 reality show Love Triangle.

It’s where she met her partner Danny, who she moved in with in the middle of last year.

Love Triangle sees six singletons (the pickers) who text two potential lovers and then have to pick one for a blind date.

Viewers watch contestants meet for the first time after exchanging flirty texts, before moving in together and learning more about one another.

Some of the couples on the show were introduced to a third person (Sadie, in Danny’s case).

At the end of the series the picker has to choose who they want to be with out of the love triangle.

Anne-Marie was revealed as Goldfish on the launch episode of The Masked Singer. In a first for the programme, the first two episodes will feature a full band, and the panel also had to guess the identity of the lead singer.

After performing as Bruno Marse and Rose hit Apt part of a group called No Trout, the judges correctly guessed the identity of the singer. Following her unmasking, the songstress said: “When I was at school, I had a very short attention span! I’m used to the voice just going that way [in front of me] but in the thing, it was like ‘Oh, that’s what I sound like!” She then gave her first unmasked performance for the studio audience of her signature track 2002.

Fans were thrilled with the star’s appearance, with one writing on X: “Anne-Marie is sooooo good and such a lovely person, that unmasked performance was beautiful!!” But others had guessed it long before the unmasking took place, with one writing: “Knew it was Anne Marie purely by the way she stood” and another said: “Anne Marie was possibly the most obvious unmasking ever. I knew Goldfish was Anne Marie.”

Prior to the revelation, Goldfish asked Davina: “How did it feel to be top of the Christmas tree?” and then asked Jonathan: “They say goldfish have a three-second memory. We’ll be the Judge of that!” Mo received: “54x4x10-166+8=X”, and Maya got a text that says: “I heard you became an award-winning billionaire by swimming upstream!”

The equation, which gives an answer of 2002, was possibly the biggest clue yet. The pop track was released by Anne-Marie in 2018, and references the period of time in which music icons like Britney Spears, Jay-Z and N*Sync ruled the charts. Eager fans who had spotted a preview of the series had already guessed who was behind the mask before it even went to air.

Previously, it was claimed that the new format with the bands was a way of keeping viewers guessing.

The Sun reported that a source said: “As The Masked Singer heads into series seven in the UK, bosses are keeping everyone on their toes by upping the ante on clues and throwing in even more unmaskings. “The franchise’s first-ever bands are going to blow everyone’s minds – but viewers will be left scratching their heads as to whether the band is a big clue or not. “The celebrities hiding inside might run solo in their real lives, or they might be part of some sort of group, or could even be exactly what it says on the tin – an actual frontman or woman.

“Viewers are going to be more bamboozled than ever, but it’s going to be lots of fun.” Viewers can expect to see four unmaskings in the first two episodes. Goldfish and Emperor Penguin are extra celebrities on top of the 12-person lineup.

Last year, the programme was won by West End legend Samantha Barks, who had dressed up as Puffer Fish throughout the series’ run. Samantha, who found fame on the BBC’s I’d Do Anything alongside Coronation Street actress Jodie Prenger and then starred in the film adaptation of Les Misérables with Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway and Eddie Redmayne.

Upon her victory, she said: “I feel like I’ve lived this double life because I’ve had these crazy experiences, but nobody in my life knows [about] this, so I’ve loved it!

“I’ve had the best time, I really have. Underneath the mask, it’s been hurting my cheeks because I’ve been smiling so hard! Thank you so much!”

Samantha, who is also known for having played the lead in the West End production of Disney’s Frozen, had fought off competition from celebrities like EastEnders legend Natalie Cassidy, singer Macy Gray, and Celebrity Trators star Kate Garraway, amongst a host of others.

Other previous stars to have been brave enough to take part in the fun show include Dionne Warwick, Prue Leith, Daisy May Cooper, Glenn Hoddle, Mel Giedroyc, Sir Lenny Henry and Lorraine Kelly.

The Masked Singer, ITV1/ITVX, Saturday 3rd & Sunday 4th January, 6.30pm

HOLLY Ramsay Peaty has said there is ‘so much to share’ after her and new husband Adam’s wedding feud with his family.

The daughter of chef Gordon Ramsay tied the knot with Olympic swimming champion Adam Ramsay Peaty last weekend in a stunning ceremony.

And now while the pair are on honeymoon, Holly has shared a message to fans.

“In our newlyweds bubble,” she wrote adding: “Full wedding weekend breakdown coming soon! So much to share.”

The couple wed in a stunning Bath Abbey ceremony on December 27 and the brand new bride also revealed the exotic location they are jetting off to – and who has splashed out on the dreamy getaway.

Although they tied the knot shrouded in controversy as a result of the family feud tearing the Peaty clan apart, the couple will be hoping to forget all their troubles on their honeymoon.

Holly Ramsay reveals honeymoon destination with Adam Peaty – and who is paying

In an interview with British Vogue, Holly revealed they will be sunning themselves in Mauritius.

And they haven’t had to pay a single penny.

Instead, her dad Gordon and mum Tana have agreed to fork out for the trip as a wedding present.

Speaking to Vogue, Holly said: “We’re going to Mauritius to just lie by the sea – that was our wedding present from my parents.

“I had to tell Adam we weren’t basing our honeymoon around a 25-metre pool…”

The pair are believed to have headed to the sun-soaked island just days ago and likely welcomed in 2026 there together after being snapped heading to the airport in the UK just days ago.

The lead up to the wedding was full of drama after Adam, 31, disinvited his parents – Caroline and Mark – after his feud with his mum exploded last month when she was not invited to Holly’s hen do.  

The only notable member of his family present was his sister, Bethany.

All of the Ramsay clan turned up for the event with Holly and Adam ensuring that her family took pride of place on the big day.

Earlier this week, it emerged Adam’s aunt Louise texted him moments before he walked into Bath Abbey on Saturday — but he never read it because he has blocked family messages. 

Adam went on to acknowledge the pain the bust up has caused during his speech at the couple’s wedding reception at Kin House in Kington Langley, Wilts.

He told how his swim coach Mel Marshall has been “everything”, “grounding and inspiring” him, before adding that she was “like a mum”.

Meanwhile Gordon, 59, delivered a fiery speech of his own, saying his wife Tana “will be a good mum to them both”.

Content creator Holly spoke about a photo showing her and Adam at the ceremony and referenced the speech, saying: “Listening to dad’s speech, looking around the room and feeling overwhelmed with the love and the happiness on our guests’ faces.”

Adam recently appeared to show no signs of offering up an olive branch after he thanked Jesus for everything that had happened in the year – despite the fractious feud.

The sport star appeared grateful for how things had panned out this year – even if it meant falling out with his family.

He shared a quote, which read: “It’s the last day of 2025. Thank you Jesus for everything this year.”

AS celebrity weddings go, few have been more scandal-hit than the nuptials of Adam Peaty and Holly Ramsay.

From the bride not inviting her future mother-in-law to her hen do and the Olympian uninviting his family, to Adam’s aunt posting her feelings about the whole tawdry affair online, it has been the showbiz gossip gift that keeps on giving.

And to top it all off, the groom went the full Brooklyn Beckham by changing his name to Adam Ramsay Peaty,

But the marriage of swimmer Adam to Gordon Ramsay’s daughter Holly isn’t the first celeb wedding to be filled with scandal.

From Hollywood bigamy and a bride having to pee in a bucket, to stag do misdemeanours, celebrity weddings have more drama than an Eastenders Christmas special.

Here we take a look at some of the wedding scandals that engulfed some of showbiz’s biggest stars.

TOP OF THE SHOCKS

Most shocking scandals of 2025…Myleene’s ‘cheat’ riddle to Coldplay cam

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry

The world was thrilled when Prince Harry and American actress Meghan announced their engagement.

But things quickly soured with allegations that Meghan had made Princess Catherine cry over Charlotte’s bridesmaid dress and that the bride was demanding to wear a particular Royal tiara on her big day.

And it was going to go from bad to worse as Meghan’s dad Thomas Markle started to speak to the press.

He was then promptly cut off by his daughter.

In the end the only member of the bride’s family to attend the Royal wedding was Meghan’s mother Doria Ragland – with all the Markles crossed off the guest list.

The King then ended up giving his future daughter-in-law away.

But as we all know the wedding wasn’t the last scandal to hit the newlyweds as they chose to step away from Royal life, flee the UK, and appear to have a strained relationship with the rest of the Royal family.

Brian McFadden and Kerry Katona

Westlife star Brian and Atomic Kitten Kerry seemed like a match made in pop heaven.

The showbiz couple said ‘I do” in a grand ceremony at Slane Castle, Ireland, in 2002.

But behind their glitzy bash, which was said to have cost £100,000, Brian was keeping a secret.

Newlywed Kerry later discovered that her husband had cheated on her with a stripper on his stag do.

The couple divorced after two years together and Kerry later said she was ‘mortified’ by Brian’s infidelity. 

“I only found out after we got married. The girl he had cheated on me with was a lap dancer and he had made her sign an NDA and paid her 15 grand to keep her mouth shut,” she explained.

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds

It wasn’t long after tying the knot with Ryan Reynolds that actress Blake Lively found herself having to avert disaster – but not the romantic kind. 

Distracted by Florence Welch singing at her reception, it took some time for her to notice that a sparkler had burnt a hole into the front of her one of a kind Marchesa silk gown.

“I look down and my wedding dress has a big burn mark from one of the sparklers. Right on the front! And it was just so heartbreaking to me,” she told Vogue.

But new hubby Ryan turned it into a positive, later telling her the burn was “beautiful” adding: “You’ll always remember that moment with Florence singing and the sparklers. You have that forever, right there, preserved.”

She told Vogue: “Now that’s my favourite part of the dress.”

Bill Wyman and Mandy Smith

When the former Rolling Stone first met Mandy she was just 13 years old and he was 47.

Wyman wrote in his 1990 autobiography: “She took my breath away…she was a woman at thirteen.”

The relationship only became public two-and-a-half years later, when she reached the age of 16.

Despite the controversy around their relationship they wed in 1989 when Mandy was 18.

But she moved out just weeks after the wedding and they divorced two years later.

Even so, the scandal kept on rolling. In 1993, in a bizarre twist, Wyman’s 30-year-old son from his first marriage, Stephen, married Mandy’s mother, Patsy, who was then aged 46. However, they split after two years.

Bethenny Frankel and Jason Hoppy

When you gotta go, you gotta go. And during her 2010 wedding to Jason Hoppy, entrepreneur and TV star Bethenny Frankel got the call of nature that just could not wait. 

Frankel, who was seven and a half months pregnant at the time, was wearing a form-fitting gown and could not easily make the trek to a proper bathroom without being seen by guests.

Her wedding planner, Shawn Rabideau, retrieved a silver champagne bucket for her to use. 

So Frankel peed in the bucket while her assistant and her wedding planner held up the dress. 

And the special moment was captured for posterity by the TV cameras for her reality show Bethenny Getting Married.

Britney Spears and Jason Alexander

Fans were shocked when Britney and her childhood friend Jason Alexander tied the knot at the Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas in 2004.

Britney later said she was just ‘drunk and bored’ after a while night out with Alexander.

The horrified Spears team quickly arranged for an annulment, claiming she lacked understanding of her actions, which was granted within 55 hours. 

But the drama would come back to haunt her years later.

On the day of Britney’s 2022 wedding to Sam Asghari, Alexander showed up at her home, livestreaming on Instagram as he tried to “crash” the event.

He was arrested, charged with trespassing, battery, and vandalism, and received a restraining order from Spears. He served around two months in jail.

Liz Taylor and Eddie Fisher

Where do we start with Liz? She is the undisputed queen of weddings having walked down the aisle no less than eight times.

But her most scandalous is undoubtedly her 1959 union with Eddie Fisher who she began an affair with after the death of her husband Mike Todd.

The only problem was that Fisher was still married to Debbie Reynolds.

Then in 1962 Taylor started having an affair with Richard Burton – while still married to Fisher.

Andy Carroll and Billi Mucklow

The footballer was all set to marry TOWIE star Billi in 2022 when photos emerged of Carroll passed out with two women in a Dubai hotel room on his stag do.

Heartbroken Billi promptly whipped off her engagement ring and moved out. 

But the two women involved came forward to say that nothing sexual had occurred and in fact Andy had been a complete gent.

So Billi forgave Andy and they wed at the five-star Four Seasons Hotel in Hampshire.

But their happiness was short-lived and they split in 2024.

Olivier Sarkozy & Mary Kate Olsen

Most brides spend months agonising over the perfect theme, colour scheme and decorations for their big day.

But it seems Mary-Kate Olsen wanted to keep it simple for her wedding to Olivier Sarkozy. 

According to the New York Post, the couple opted to adorn their reception room with “bowls and bowls filled with cigarettes”.

How romantic.

Shania Twain’s ultimate revenge

When country star Shania’s first husband Mutt Lange had an affair with her best friend and assistant Marie-Anne Thiebaud she was understandably devastated.

It was Marie-Anne’s husband Frédéric who first discovered the affair.

According to the Daily Mail, he found strange hotel receipts, phone bills, and even a lingerie set in his wife’s suitcase.

Shania and Frederic turned to each other for support during their marriage breakdowns – and ended up falling in love themselves.

They married on New Year’s Day 2011 – in the ultimate revenge act.

The 2021 thriller is said to have a perfect balance of scary and shocking moments

An ‘underrated’ 2021 thriller that you probably missed is now available to stream on Prime Video.

The Girl Who Got Away (or Mother) didn’t gain much traction when it premiered but it sounds perfect for weekend viewing.

Written and directed by Michael Morrissey, the psychological horror centres on serial kidnapper and murderer Elizabeth Caulfield, who is imprisoned for abducting and murdering young girls she pretended were her daughters.

She had five victims, but one called Christina managed to escape. Twenty years on from her crimes, Elizabeth breaks out of prison to hunt down her only liberated victim. But Christina’s own dark past starts to unravel as her kidnapper tracks her down.

American actress Lexi Johnson leads the cast as Christina, with Nigerian-British actor Chukwudi Iwuji as local police officer Jamie. They are joined by The Matrix alum Kaye Tuckerman who plays the story’s villain, Elizabeth.

Although the mystery thriller didn’t reach wide audiences upon its debut, it still earned impressive ratings from audiences. Rotten Tomatoes viewers awarded it an 87% score.

One Google reviewer shared their five-star verdict, writing: “A perfect dose of scary and shock. An interesting theme with a unique plot. Good strong acting. I felt the latter half slipped through quickly with so many revelations coming to light suddenly. But must say this is an underrated gem.”

For the latest showbiz, TV, movie and streaming news, go to the new **Everything Gossip** website.

While an IMDb user praised: “Was pleasantly surprised that what I thought was happening was close but the twists left me guessing until the very end. A few jump scares but builds a good storyline and the thriller/psychological terror is more the backburn to that. Strong cast performances.”

And a third fan posted: “Me and my wifey really liked this movie and were never bored I recommend it and don’t understand the negative reviews.”

This moviegoer was responding to a barrage of brutal reviews that the thriller also suffered. While some dubbed it a ‘must-watch’ others were less than impressed.

“Predictable & bordering on ridiculous,” penned one, with another slamming: “Don’t bother [watching]. It’s not even bad enough to be good.”

Those keen to form their own opinions can stream The Girl Who Got Away now on Prime Video.

It’s the start of a new year and that means the kickoff of a whole new slate of television series. And while 2026 will bring plenty of those, it will also yield revivals, new seasons of beloved shows, spinoffs and long-awaited finales. Though this list isn’t exhaustive by any means, and not all dates have been announced, there’s plenty to start penciling into your calendar.

‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ (Jan. 15, Paramount+)

In these awful, uncertain times, it is heartening that “Star Trek,” that most good-hearted, proudly progressive of space operas, continues to create new missions for fresh multiplanetary crews of explorers. The latest series, set like “Star Trek: Discovery” in the far-flung 32nd century, when anything the writers need created can be, takes place both in San Francisco — where the rebuilt Starfleet Academy is welcoming its first new class in more than 100 years — and aboard a training starship, the USS Athena, which will presumably carry cadets into situations more dangerous than rush week or beer pong. Tig Notaro’s engineer Jett Reno, surviving from “Star Trek: Discovery,” and Robert Picardo’s holographic doctor way back from “Star Trek: Voyager,” are seen here, as are several new young actors for youth appeal and Holly Hunter, as the academy chancellor and starship captain, for the “Broadcast News” fans. The voice of Stephen Colbert, making announcements as the Digital Dean of Students, is heard, and Paul Giamatti puts on prosthetics to play the villain. — Robert Lloyd

‘Memory of a Killer’ (Jan. 25, Fox)

Former “Grey’s Anatomy” heartthrob Patrick Dempsey trades in his “McDreamy” scrubs for a high-powered rifle in Fox’s thriller drama. Inspired by the 2003 Belgian film “De Zaak Alzheimer,” the drama features Dempsey as Angelo Ledda, a New York City hit man facing a devastating dilemma: he has early Alzheimer’s. The disease complicates his deadly profession and his life as a low-key family man. With a cast that includes Michael Imperioli (“The Sopranos”) and Gina Torres (“Suits”), the trailer looks particularly intriguing, with Dempsey looking intense while backed by the Who’s “Behind Blue Eyes.” Fox is spotlighting the series with a two-night premiere; the first episode airs following the NFC Championship game. The second episode airs Jan. 26 as the drama settles into its regular slot on Mondays at 9 p.m. — Greg Braxton

‘Scrubs’ revival (Feb. 25, ABC)

Ready for another walk through the halls of Sacred Heart Hospital with J.D., Elliot, Turk, Dr. Cox and Carla? The 30-minute sitcom was a comfort watch throughout much of the early aughts, with an endless loop of reruns keeping the show alive in the minds of fans long after it was canceled in 2010. But now ABC is bringing back the medical sitcom nearly 16 years later, and a lot of familiar faces are returning too: Zach Braff, Sarah Chalke and Donald Faison will reprise their lead roles, and John C. McGinley and Judy Reyes will make guest appearances. But not all is the same — several new cast members will join “Scrubs,” including Vanessa Bayer (“Saturday Night Live,” “I Love That for You”) and Joel Kim Booster (“Fire Island,” “Loot”). As long as J.D.’s daydreams and goofy bromance with Turk remain, I’m all in. — Maira Garcia

‘Monarch: Legacy of Monsters’ Season 2 (Feb. 27, Apple TV)

It’s been two years since the first season of “Monarch: Legacy of Monsters” ended with a surprise two-year time jump and I’ve been waiting to see what’s next for the extended Randa clan ever since. The Monsterverse series follows Cate Randa (Anna Sawai) — a survivor of a Godzilla encounter — trying to learn the truth about her father Hiroshi’s (Takehiro Hira) disappearance with the help of her newly discovered half-brother Kentaro (Ren Watabe) and ex-pat hacker May (Kiersey Clemons). It turns out the Randa family legacy is intertwined with Godzilla as well as Monarch, a secret organization dedicated to studying the giant monsters known as Titans. The possibility of kaiju battles was definitely what initially drew me to the show, but the humans have kept me hooked. Season 1 ended with Cate reuniting with her brother and father after escaping a mysterious pocket world beneath Earth’s surface with her long-lost grandmother Keiko (Mari Yamamoto) in tow. If that is not the setup for some gloriously messy family drama, I don’t know what is — and that’s not even taking into account a potential love triangle. But don’t fret monster lovers, the presence of Kong has also been teased for Season 2. — Tracy Brown

’American Love Story’ (February, FX)

The latest iteration of Ryan Murphy’s “American Story” anthology will focus on John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, whose relationship and untimely deaths in 1999 created a media frenzy. (The couple died in a plane crash that Kennedy was piloting — the cause of death was deemed pilot error, but with no survivors, we’ll never know with 100% certainty.) Though their deaths occurred more than two decades ago, the event remains a significant moment in the memories of Americans and the Kennedy family, which has endured numerous tragedies over the decades. While Kennedy family members have openly criticized the series, it hasn’t stopped Murphy from proceeding. The television creator knows how to pique viewers’ interest, often dramatizing notable people and events. The series stars Sarah Pidgeon as Bessette, newcomer Paul Kelly as Kennedy and Naomi Watts as matriarch Jackie Kennedy. — M.G.

‘Y: Marshals’ (March 1, CBS), ‘Dutton Ranch’ (2026, Paramount+)

More than a year has passed since “Yellowstone” rode off into the sunset. The modern western was television’s hottest series during its five-season run, solidifying the star power of its lead Kevin Costner as patriarch John Dutton while establishing co-creator Taylor Sheridan as one of TV’s top writer-producers. Sheridan hopes to continue his “Yellowstone” triumph with several spinoffs. Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser will reprise their respective roles as Dutton’s volcanic daughter Beth Dutton and her husband, boss ranch hand Rip Wheeler, in Paramount+’s “Dutton Ranch.” Luke Grimes, who played Dutton’s son Kayce Dutton, will headline “Y: Marshals” in which Kayce joins a top U.S. Marshals unit. Joining Grimes in the CBS drama are “Yellowstone” cast members Gil Birmingham (Thomas Rainwater) and Mo Brings Plenty (Mo). Also in development is “The Madison,” a drama starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell about a New York City family living in Montana’s Madison River territory. — G.B.

‘Imperfect Women’ (March 18, Apple TV)

If you’re longing for the elusive Season 3 of “Big Little Lies” or a similar crime-laced psychological thriller led by powerhouse women, Apple TV might be able to scratch that itch with this upcoming drama. Based on Araminta Hall’s novel of the same name, “Imperfect Women” will follow three lifelong friends, played by Kerry Washington, Elisabeth Moss and Kate Mara, as a murder sends their lives into chaos. Moss and Washington also serve as executive producers with Hall. Details about the plot of the series are scant (it is a mystery, after all), but the novel teases a story with deep betrayal and guilt, a secret affair and muddled perspectives, all underpinned by a murder investigation. That all sounds pretty dark, but Moss said the series will somehow be a “fantastic palate-cleanser” after the close of her dystopian drama “The Handmaid’s Tale.” “Imperfect Women” is “super different,” she added. “It’s fun, it’s sexy.” — Kaitlyn Huamani

‘The Forsytes’ (March 22, PBS)

Written by Debbie Horsfield (“Poldark”), this is, as far as I can tell, a freely adapted, female-forward prequel to John Galsworthy’s “Forsyte Saga” novels, which provided the basis for a highly popular, 26-part adaptation in 1967 and subsequent filmings in 2002 and 2003. Set among a late Victorian-era family of stockbrokers, a phrase that will undoubtedly bring the word “succession” to mind, it promises to be a meaty, cheesy and handsomely dressed — sometimes undressed — romp. The large ensemble cast includes Francesca Annis, Stephen Moyer, Tuppence Middleton, Eleanor Tomlinson, Jack Davenport, “Doctor Who” companion Millie Gibson and Susan Hampshire, who starred in and won an Emmy for the 1967 series. — R.L.

‘Margo’s Got Money Troubles’ (April 15, Apple TV)

Ever look at a television title and think: “It’s great to see myself represented on TV?” The actual premise of this series may feel less relatable on the surface to most, but the struggle to stretch a dollar like it’s made of industrial-use elastic is a conundrum many of us know all too well these days. And this new series from prolific TV producer David E. Kelley promises humor and heart in its adaptation of Rufi Thorpe’s novel of the same name, which explores sex work and financial precarity without moralization. The series stars Elle Fanning as the titular character, a recent college dropout from a working-class background who, as a new mom raising a baby solo, is forced to figure out how to make ends meet and finds a financial lifeline as a creator for OnlyFans, the subscription-based platform made famous by adult content. The series also features Michelle Pfeiffer as Margo’s mother (an ex-Hooters waitress) and Nick Offerman as her father (an ex-pro wrestler). And to ensure she’s not letting 2026 go by without adding a stamp to her TV punch card, Nicole Kidman is also part of the stacked cast. Because we need that, all of us. — Yvonne Villarreal

‘The Testaments’ (April 2026, Hulu)

The success of Bruce Miller’s award-winning adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s “The Handmaid’s Tale” prompted the author to write the Booker Prize-winning sequel “The Testaments,” which Miller is also adapting. Set to premiere in April, it returns viewers to the Old Testament world of Gilead, years after the events in “The Handmaid’s Tale,” and focuses on June’s (Elisabeth Moss) daughters Hannah, renamed Agnes (Chase Infiniti), and Daisy, previously known as Nicole (Lucy Halliday), as they face the brutal forces of a misogynistic theocracy. Ann Dowd reprises her role as Aunt Lydia, the only character (with the possible exception of June) who will cross over from the previous series. Miller has characterized the series as a “coming of age” story, but readers of the book will know that all is not what it once was in Gilead; forces both without and within plot its downfall and June’s daughters will not be far from the fight. — Mary McNamara

‘Beef’ Season 2 (2026, Netflix)

Three years after gifting us a darkly comic road rage thriller fronted by Steven Yeun and Ali Wong that was set against a soundtrack of ‘NSync, Tori Amos and Hoobastank songs, Lee Sung Jin’s anthology series returns for its second season with another layered, twist-filled exploration of class struggles, resentment and the absurdity of life’s curveballs. Consisting of eight 30-minute episodes, this season unpacks the pursuit of the American Dream by way of an exclusive Southern California country club and two couples from different socioeconomic backgrounds. The chaos kicks off when a young couple who work at the club (Cailee Spaeny and Charles Melton) witness a heated fight between their boss (Oscar Isaac), the general manager, and his wife (Carey Mulligan), an interior designer, just as the club’s new Korean billionaire owner (Youn Yuh-jung) takes over. The encounter spins out into a web of favors and coercion in this tale of broken systems and characters going to great lengths to get what they want. “Parasite’s” Song Kang-ho and K-Pop star BM (of KARD) round out the cast. And yes, there will be needle drops. — Y.V.

‘Little House on the Prairie’ (2026, Netflix)

It’s beyond time that someone revisited the semi-autobiographical series by Laura Ingalls Wilder in a way more suited to modern television. The 1974 NBC adaptation is a classic, but as a family drama of its time, it did not attempt to capture the historical breadth the book series documented. The many tribulations, and triumphs, the Ingalls family experienced as they moved from state to state, (including the locust plague of 1874, described in “On the Banks of Plum Creek,” which devastated the Midwest) provide a unique look into life on the American “frontier.” With any luck, showrunner Rebecca Sonnenshine and her team of writers will do the same. — M.M.

‘Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen’ (2026, Netflix)

Fans of the nearly 10-year long “Stranger Things” chapter on Netflix are sure to be feeling a bit of Duffer Brothers withdrawal in the new year. But their overall deal with Netflix will bear another intriguing project before the creators move over to Paramount exclusively. “Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen” is a horror drama centering on a soon-to-be bride and groom, although the title seems to imply they never make it to the altar. The Duffer Brothers, Matt and Ross, and Hilary Leavitt from Upside Down Pictures are executive producing along with Haley Z. Boston, who will serve as showrunner. Boston has written on “Guillermo del Toro’s “Cabinet of Curiosities” and “Brand New Cherry Flavor,” both of which attracted avid horror fans. Camila Morrone (“Daisy Jones & the Six,” “The Night Manager”) stars alongside Adam DiMarco (“The White Lotus,” “Overcompensating”). Very few other details have been shared, but the talent involved — both behind the scenes and in front of the camera — is enough to pique my curiosity, even if I’ll have to close my eyes when things get a little too scary for my comfort. — K.H.

‘Yellowjackets’ Season 4 (2026, Showtime)

I thought high school was traumatizing enough, but I didn’t have to deal with anything close to what the teens in “Yellowjackets” have endured for three seasons. The coming-of-age survival thriller is about a championship high school soccer team whose plane crashes into the remote Canadian wilderness where they are stranded for 19 months. The story unfolds over two timelines, with one following the girls as they do whatever it takes to survive in the wilds — including cannibalism and ritual sacrifice — and the other following the survivors in the present day as they are trying to live their lives. Unfortunately for them, whatever they started in the wilderness is unwilling to be left buried in the past and is back on the h(a)unt. There is plenty of rage, trauma, secrets and murder in both timelines, as well as some unsolved mysteries that may or may not involve supernatural elements. With the upcoming fourth season confirmed to be the last, here’s to hoping some of the remaining questions — including how the girls were saved, how many girls actually survived, and why the “wilderness” came back to them in the present day — will be answered. — T.B.

‘VisionQuest’ (2026, Disney+)

It feels like forever ago that “WandaVision” kicked off Marvel Studios’ foray into television with a bang. A clever homage to sitcoms, the show followed Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) as she tried to magically piece together a life and family with Vision (Paul Bettany) after the events of “Avengers: Endgame” (2019). The upcoming Disney+ series “VisionQuest” will cap off the “WandaVision” trilogy, which also includes one of my favorite MCU installments, “Agatha All Along.” When audiences last saw Vision, the reconstructed android had just regained his memories and, presumably, his sentience, before flying off into the unknown. The new series will see Vision trying to navigate that aftermath to figure out who he is — reportedly with some help from other known Marvel AI programs and robots. Both “WandaVision” and “Agatha” explored grief and trauma and motherhood in their own ways, so I’m curious how these themes might carry over into “VisionQuest.” I’m admittedly a bit more into witches than robots, but I’m looking forward to the proper introduction of Tommy Shepherd (Ruaridh Mollica), who in the comics is the grown-up version of one of Wanda and Vision’s magically-created twins, and any potential family reunions. — T.B.
