Netflix fans have claimed they are hooked from the very first scene

Netflix’s latest addition has left fans immediately hooked and binging as many episodes as possible.

An ‘intense’ crime thriller is now available on the streaming giant’s platform. Some have already claimed that it is better than other popular shows such as High Potential and The Rookie.

Dozens of episodes of Will Trent have recently been added to the streamer’s ever changing library. The show is based on a series of novels written by Karin Slaughter. The author penned a dozen books featuring the character as recently as 2024.

Like the original stories, the series follows Special Agent Will Trent who was abandoned at birth and endured a harsh coming-of-age in Atlanta’s overwhelmed foster-care system. This had a lasting effect on him and, despite being dyslexic, he rose the ranks at the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.

He is highly observant and determined to make sure that nobody else feels as he did. Despite achieving the highest clearance rate of cases in his department, he finds this causes some friction on the team.

While it originally aired in the US back in 2023, the first three seasons of the show are now available on Netflix for UK based subscribers. Even better news is that if users find themselves binge watching it quickly enough, they can find the fourth over on Disney+, with a fifth season expected to release early next year.

Some even suggest that it is superior to similar crime dramas, in particular a few very popular ones considered to be in the more ‘cosy crime’ subgenre. A fan shared on Reddit : “I think most people will agree with this, but I haven’t seen it mentioned before, so… Will Trent gets lumped together with The Rookie and High Potential but I think it’s better, deeper, darker and funnier than the others.”

Another agreed and replied: “I agree with you. I only lump together those other shows with Will Trent because they’re the same kind of procedural drama. I think Will Trent is of a higher calibre, though. Also, as a mother through (private) adoption, I think the foster care angle is very well done, for the most part.”

One fan claimed: “I think Will Trent stands alone. It is truly the most unique show, with the most intense scenes — I feel the same way about them that I do when watching The Pitt.”

Someone else added: “I jumped so hard in the first episode! I was hooked and couldn’t stop! I gobbled up the first three episodes voraciously! I have been binge watching the series since.”

Other viewers have shared their recommendation online stating they were hooked from the first scene. Someone else made a different comparison as they posted: “I love this show it’s like Monk combined with Elementary. Quirky Sherlock type with a bad upbringing and makes it work despite his dyslexia and his on-again-off-again relationship with a fellow cop.”

Will Trent is streaming on Netflix and Disney+

A Place In The Sun returned to screens with Ben Hillman back at the helm, but the search for Jacqueline’s dream home on the Greek island of Lefkada took an unexpected turn

A Place In The Sun took an uncomfortable twist when a prospective buyer chose to abandon the viewing after being presented with a particular property.

The popular Channel 4 programme returned on Tuesday (November 3) with Ben Hillman once again presenting. Searching for her ideal residence on the Greek island of Lefkada was Jacqueline, from Shropshire.

She was accompanied by sister-in-law Linda for the hunt and had a maximum budget of £302k for her perfect overseas home: a 2-3 bedroom property with a luxurious pool and scenic views. The hunt didn’t begin particularly well, but when it came to property number four, matters took an unforeseen direction.

The fourth property – which featured three bedrooms and two bathrooms – was merely 60 seconds from a beach. Yet immediately, Jacqueline highlighted how it was “a bit close to the road”. Ben agreed: “It’s a busy road, but think how quickly you could be to different places.”, reports the Express.

Linda then said: “It’s very pretty to look at. It’s an attractive-looking house.” However, Jacqueline added: “That traffic is quite noisy.” Ben asked: “Alright, then hit me with it. What do you want to do? Do you want to move on or investigate further?”.

But for Jacqueline she had witnessed sufficient and replied: “No, I think I’ll give this one a miss. The garden is small but it’s the noise of the traffic, I couldn’t get used to that. Definitely not.”

Ben added: “It’s too much for you,” in which Jacqueline agreed: “Yeah.” In a voice-over, Ben admitted: “I am a bit disappointed that this beachside house isn’t right for my house hunters.”

Fans at home also reacted to the fourth property, with some slamming Ben for showing them a property so close to a busy road. On X, one person wrote: “What’s the point of showing them a house right next to such a busy junction. Very few people would settle for that noise.”

Someone else quipped: “Speak up Ben we can’t hear you for the traffic.” A third chimed in: “The noise from the road would drive me crazy.”

Another also said: “Instant nope, that is a super busy and loud road about 2ft from your house, there’s also barely any outside space and would you want to be outside with that road noise? Nah no ta.”

A Place In The Sun airs Monday to Friday at 6pm on Channel 4.

Big Brother’s 2026 winner will be crowned in a matter of hours

Big Brother viewers have been left baffled by a revealing clip that wasn’t aired on the main show.

It’s officially finals week in the Big Brother house, with eight housemates still fighting for the 2026 crown. The live finale will air on Thursday (November 5) followed by a reunion episode on Friday (November 6). Frankie is one of the contestants who joined the experiment on day one and has managed to dodge facing eviction over the last eight weeks.

But that doesn’t mean he hasn’t sparked debate among viewers. The 23-year-old has come under fire for sharing conflicting stories about his life back home, with some viewers becoming convinced that he has fabricating stories to help his chances of making it into the final.

Fans have notably caught onto Frankie’s changing narrative about his current relationship. During the first week, he seemed to suggest he was recovering from a breakup, but has more recently been gushing about his girlfriend waiting for him at home. Viewers have now become convinced they were right to suspect Frankie has a gameplan after his audition clip aired on ITV.

Hosts GK Barry and Kate Lawler shared the clip on last night’s (November 3) episode of The Group Chat. In it, Frankie essentially explains that he has joined the experiment with the sole goal of winning, even if that means he has to “play a game”.

He revealed: “I’m not coming in here to lose, at the end of the day. If I have to play a game, I have to play a game. That’s the way it goes. I’m not gonna be obvious with it, it’s gonna be very discreet. It’s gonna be very smart.

“Surprisingly, I’m very emotionally intelligent. I understand people very, very well. So I feel like being in the Big Brother house, people will be very surprised on how I move and how I act. If I am in that position where I’ve got a chance to win this show – which, I’m gonna win this show.”

ITV also aired Catrin, Lynx and Omar’s audition clips. They all admitted that they would love to win the show but Frankie was the only one who openly declared that he would win by any means necessary.

Fans have quickly gathered on social media to slam the housemate’s “intentions,” with one posting: “FAKE FRANKIE!!! if anyone in that house is performative it’s HIM as we’ve all known since day one #bbuk.”

Someone else agreed: “Frankie admitting in his audition that he will play a game if he has to makes me doubt his intentions even more now […] #bbuk #TheGroupChat.”

A third viewer chimed in: “It’s clear he has had a game plan throughout and is 100% disingenuous. I can’t believe none of the housemates have cottoned on,” with a final person saying: “Hahaha Frankie… you’re not going to win #bbuk.”

Some viewers have defended the reality star and argued that he may have exaggerated his competitive nature to ensure he stood out from other applicants and was selected for the show, suggesting he could win. One person penned: “Frankie is actually so funny. I used all 5 of my votes for him to win #bbuk.”

Big Brother continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX

EXCLUSIVE Strictly judge Anton Du Beke says a big name is ready to leave the hit BBC One Dance show saying, ‘It’s getting a bit much.’

Anton Du Beke has shocked Strictly Come Dancing fans by revealing a big name star is looking to waltz away from the BBC series for good.

The former pro dancer who is now an established judge on the series, revealed that one famous face on the show has already spoken to him about potentially leaving at the end of the 2026 series. His comments, as he promoted his new memoir Steps In Time, are sure to start a guessing game amongst fans.

Speaking on stage in Bath, Anton, 60, said: “I spoke to somebody the other day and they were like ‘It’s getting a bit much’.

“It’s somebody who’s been on it not that long, a little while, and I understood that. I thought about it for a while and I wondered if they will be on it or whether they will decide to step away or carry on.”

The comments could refer to a number of the new pro dancers or the new show hosts, Emma Willis, Josh Widdicombe and Johannes Radebe, who only joined this year.

There have also been reports than judge Shirley Ballas may consider walking away from the UK version of the show if she landed a full time role on US series Dancing With The Stars. She was recently a guest judge on the series but insisted in an interview last month she was “100 percent not leaving Strictly”.

Anton is not seemingly referring fellow judge Craig Revel Horwood, as the pair still love being on the show and are veterans having been on the series since it began in 2004. On his love for Strictly, Anton said: “I was there from Day One. Craig and I, we are the only ones left. I am so proud of that. It is one of my greatest things.

“I am so proud to have been on the show since the beginning and still loving it as well. I love it as much now as I always have. It is the most brilliant show. I love being a judge. I loved being a professional.

Referring to the late great former host Bruce Forsyth, he added: “I loved working with Brucie. He was my hero growing up. Brucie would come out and do his own warm up and I used to stand in the wings and watch him before the show began. I watched him every week for about 15 years. He was a genius.”

Anton was speaking at the Bath Forum to promote his book Steps In Time, his first memoir. The book, which is released tomorrow, is described by publishers as a “coming-of-age story” which reflects on Anton’s youth, and his rise as a pro dancer before then joining Strictly and becoming a TV star.

He left school as a teenager with no qualifications and took on a variety of jobs to pay for dance classes. after competing as a pro he then hit the bigtime when he landed a spot on Strictly. Once there he danced with celebrities including Kate Garraway, Ruth Langsford, Jerry Hall, Judy Murray and the late Ann Widdecombe.

* Steps In Time by Anton Du Beke is out on November 5 from Blink Publishing.

BROOKLYN Beckham stripped off to just a towel as he shared a shirtless photo from his luxury LA home.

The eldest of the Beckham boys, 27, is trying to do all he can to distract fans from mocking him about his “awkward” Halloween snaps with wife Nicola, 31, and their friend Damian Hurley, 24.

So, in a bid to get his followers talking about something else, Brooklyn shared a sultry black and white shot of himself stood by his pool.

Showing off his muscular back, Brooklyn could be seen wearing just a towel as he looked out over the impressive grounds of the home he shares with wife Nicola.

The shirtless picture comes just days after the aspiring chef was ridiculed over some photos that were posted of himself, Nicola and Liz Hurley’s son Damian.

In the snaps, the unlikely trio were seen dressed up for Halloween – with Brooklyn as Superman and his wife in a Catwoman costume.

While actor Damian wore an all-leather black outfit unzipped to the waist.

The threesome were all at the same celebrity bash in LA, and Brooklyn shared a series of snaps from the party which also included a pic of Damian with his arm around Nicola.

But just hours after posting it, Brooklyn deleted the photo of Damian and Nicola from his grid after he was inundated with comments mocking him.

One wrote: “This photo is awkward as f***.

“That girl is leaning more towards the other guy than to her own husband.

“Body language proves how she’s not that into her husband at all! What a shame.”

A second pointed out: “Omg he deleted the photo with Damian. Brooklyn, what are you even doing bro. You’re a Beckham.”

“I thought Superman was third wheeling,” wrote another referring to Brooklyn.

GRAMMY-winning music producer Phil McDonald has died at the age of 80.

The celebrated music veteran manned the desk for some of The Beatles’ greatest final records, shaping both the White Album and Abbey Road.

He also engineered iconic solo projects including John Lennon’s Imagine and George Harrison’s All Things Must Pass.

Phil’s stellar work on Abbey Road behind the scenes earned him a Grammy.

Born Philip John McDonald in Leeds on February 3 1946, he relocated to Earl’s Court in London with his family during the early 1960s.

Gifted with perfect pitch, he landed a job at EMI Studios in 1964, long before the legendary facility was renamed Abbey Road Studios in 1976.

Starting out in the tape library, he quickly progressed into the cutting rooms before ultimately securing his role as a tape operator and balance engineer.

His inaugural session with The Beatles took place on June 17 1965 to work on Yesterday.

Paul McCartney debuted the track to an exclusive audience of just two people: McDonald and producer George Martin.

The eventual collapse of The Beatles only caused his workload to surge.

Paul McCartney would sneak tapes from his secret debut solo album into Abbey Road’s Studio Three for McDonald to mix and edit.

At the exact same time, the tireless producer was stationed in Studio Two, assisting Ringo Starr with his album of standards, Sentimental Journey.

Phil Spector arrived on the scene a few months later with a mission to salvage the chaotic Let It Be sessions.

Working closely alongside McDonald, the pair successfully transformed the messy tapes into a releasable record.

Spector and McDonald went on to form a formidable studio partnership between the summers of 1970 and 1973.

Together, they delivered George Harrison’s sophomore solo effort, Living in the Material World, alongside the acclaimed All Things Must Pass.

During this highly productive window, McDonald also helped shape John Lennon’s initial post-Beatles output. He engineered both the John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band record and the legendary Imagine.

Away from the Fab Four, he recorded a raft of talent for EMI’s prog and folk imprint, Harvest.

His diverse roster included Roy Harper and Syd Barrett, with McDonald working on the latter’s 1970 release The Madcap Laughs.

He also proved instrumental in the studio for Linda Lewis, steering four of her albums between 1972 and 1975 and later secured credits on the landmark 1970 album Deep Purple in Rock.

That very same year, he collaborated with Eric Clapton to capture the defining Derek and the Dominos record, Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs.

By 1973, he had secured his second Grammy nomination for his work on Harry Nilsson’s A Little Touch of Schmilsson in the Night.

Leaving the music business behind, Phil and his wife Sandra – who survives him – moved to New York in 2001 and remained in the US.

The next Big Brother winner is set to be named this week

Fans believe they have worked out the result of an apparent back door eviction.

It comes as a dramatic twist was expected in the house just days before the Big Brother final. As a result, the line-up of the last seven is set to be ‘confirmed’.

However, it appears that viewers will still have to wait and see just who it was that fell at the last hurdle. Fans were already warned that voting for who they wanted to win the series would be paused. The process was put on hold from Tuesday (November 3) morning at 9am.

According to the ITV voting website, it would open again after Wednesday night’s episode is aired. Afterwards, fans will be allowed to vote another five times for their favourite.

Last weekend, Philip and Rochelle were the last housemates evicted during a live show. It was the only double eviction during the current ITV series. Following their exit, it was reported that Philip would not be attending the planned reunion episode on Friday.

The final line-up will be made up from seven of the following: Twinks, Samuel, Lynx, Rochelle, Frankie, Catrin, Omar and Yasmin. Fans think they have already worked out the order in which the remainder of the housemates will place, along with the eventual winner.

According to the results of polls shared on the Big Brother UK subreddit, Twinks is the overwhelming favourite. Across several polls for who people were apparently going to vote to win, she gained 47% of the vote.

The results claim that Lynx is most likely have been booted out in the backdoor eviction. Meanwhile, it states Samuel and Rochelle make up the rest of the top three.

Others have speculated on social media someone else will be the housemate to go. One person posted: “The fact someone is being evicted right now and we have to wait until tomorrow to find out. Feel cheated that we won’t get to hear any crowd reaction for Omar though.”

However, Frankie’s name has also been suggested a number of times. Some viewers shared their frustrations during companion show The Group Chat, awaiting confirmation of the eviction. One person said: “The fact we’re doing this group chat knowing someone (people??) been evicted right now and can’t see who really winds me up.”

One fan was confused that hosts GK Barry and Kate Lawler discussed bodily functions of housemates. They asked: “If this made the edit, can’t wait for part two.”

Big Brother continues tomorrow at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.

Nicole Taylor, one of Christian country band Taylor Red’s identical triplets, has died. The singer and musician succumbed to breast cancer on Sept. 28 in Nashville. She was 35.

“We are shocked and heartbroken to announce the passing of our sister Nicole Taylor. This isn’t the video we thought we’d ever be making,” Natalie said in a video posted to YouTube.

Nika continued, “We thought she would be here sharing her story of earthly healing, but instead we’re here sharing her story of heavenly healing, and she’s at peace and no longer suffering, so we’re thankful for that.”

The surviving sisters explained that Nicole was diagnosed in 2022 with Stage 3 breast cancer. Treatment put the disease into remission, but it returned as Stage 4 cancer. Eventually, doctors said Nicole had three months, Nika recalled in the video with Natalie revealing, “She lived around a year later after that prognosis.”

In between telling their sister’s story, Nika and Natalie read Bible verses they turned to in their grief.

“Nicole told us even before she passed that she had peace, and we were really thankful for that,” Natalie shared.

Nika continued, “Yes, things did not turn out as we hoped. We lived every day expecting full miraculous healing here on Earth and lived every day in hopes of that. Of course, we all had our moments of fear and doubt, but we fought it and fought it. And God gave us so much peace and hope in him along the way. We were so shocked and still shocked of her passing.”

The Mississippi natives are also known for their social media presence, with 16.7 million subscribers on YouTube and 13.5 million followers on TikTok.

The sisters created viral videos capitalizing on their red-haired identical-triplets identity. Using humor and social trends, the sisters filmed themselves wearing matching outfits, dancing in sync or playing instruments, including the guitar, banjo, fiddle and mandolin. They appeared in a national Sonic Drive-In commercial and also partnered with major commercial brands, including Crocs, Lipton, Skittles, Redken and Frito Lay.

“Country Money,” released in 2021, became one of the band’s most well-known songs with more than 810,000 streams on Spotify, while “Rent Free” has surpassed 664,000 streams. “Fresh off the Farm,” “Bringing Country Back” and “What They Seem” each have over 345,000 streams on the music site.

Nicole was also a Taste of Country morning radio show host. In a tribute on the country music-focused website, her colleague Evan Paul related the story of first meeting Nicole and her sisters and his later interactions with her at the media outlet.

“Nicole was such a warm soul. She was so smart and so talented that it was hard to even share a room with her. Her light was so bright. I am convinced that when you see a star shooting across the sky at night, it’s Nicole giving us a wink and letting us know she’s all right,” Paul said.

“Nicole, the oldest of us three sisters, will be greatly missed,” Nika and Natalie posted on their official site. “She was our leader and our best friend. We are heartbroken, but we know she is in Heaven and will see her again.”

Weeks after Sean “Diddy” Combs was hospitalized for a head injury suffered while serving time in federal prison, his release date has moved up.

The disgraced music and alcohol mogul is now set to be released on Feb. 6, 2028, nearly a month sooner than his projected release date last month, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate database. Combs was sentenced in October 2025 to more than four years in prison following his July conviction for transporting prostitutes across state lines for drug-fueled sex parties known as “freak-offs.”

The release date for Combs has changed multiple times since his conviction, and although he was initially projected to be freed in June 2028, the embattled producer’s release date has been moved forward and back, as dates frequently change due to a variety of factors.

Combs, 56, was reportedly placed in solitary confinement in late September following an NBC News report that he allegedly obtained a contraband cellphone, had access to a tablet that had been “jailbroken” to remove various restrictions and was stashing booze, often called pruno or toilet wine. The report also detailed ways in which Combs was allegedly living it up on the inside and receiving massages and special meals.

In October, after his head injury, the circumstances of which are unclear, he was transferred out of Fort Dix, a low-security federal prison in New Jersey, to another low-security prison, FCI Allenwood in Pennsylvania, where he is now an inmate in the general population.

“The continued scrutiny of every mundane detail of Sean Combs’s life in prison has reached the point where the media characterizes ordinary prison life as news,” a spokesperson for Combs said in a statement to NBC News. “The only real news is that Sean continues to serve his sentence while awaiting the court’s decision on his appeal.”

Times staff writers Alexandra Del Rosario and Andrea Flores contributed to this report.

LATE film icon Brigitte Bardot accused her last husband of “destroying” her as she cut him from her will, it has emerged.

She told him in a letter: “You have patiently destroyed me, day after day, for 30 years.”

Bernard d’Ormale, 85, was until last year living in luxury in Saint-Tropez with the French ex-actress.

But when she died in December, aged 91, she left him nothing, sparking a bitter dispute.

A 2022 note has been released in which she says: “I am in such desperate need of a shoulder to lean on, of support, of tenderness, of a presence — things you are simply incapable of giving me. Checkmate!”

He has been evicted from their home, with all of Ms Bardot’s estate going to her animal charity foundation and son Nicolas Charrier, 66.

Mr d’Ormale’s lawyer has said that “he was treated deplorably.”

Four times-wed Ms Bardot was in 45 films and a singer before retiring from public life in 1973.

A foundation spokesman said Mr d’Ormale has been “well-supported”.

Bardot also had a number of other high-profile relationships, including with the singer Serge Gainsbourg.

Comic James Acaster is said to feel ‘destabilised’ after he revealed to his co-stars that he was in fact a Traitor, as he narrowly missed out on a place in the Celebrity Traitors final

Celebrity Traitors star James Acaster is said to be feeling “destabilised” after he revealed his bombshell. The comedian started the BBC programme as a Faithful but was eventually recruited as a Traitor, despite making it clear that he was unhappy about it.

Throughout his time on the show, Acaster, 41, said he didn’t want to lie and that he played the game “as honestly as he possibly could.” But during last Thursday’s roundtable, James dramatically revealed to his co-stars that he was, in fact, a Traitor – leaving everybody stunned by the bombshell.

But while James had cleared his conscience, his decision didn’t go down too well with viewers at home. Following his revelation, he was subsequently banished from the castle by his co-stars.

The Rest Is Entertainment podcast hosts Richard Osman and Marina Hyde have also discussed the backlash James faced after sharing his news on the show. Discussing any regrets that the cast may feel now, Richard said: “If you’re in it, like if you’re James [Acaster] at the moment, I bet you think, ‘Oh, I wish I hadn’t done that because everyone can have one opinion about this today.’

“James then has to listen to 56 million opinions, you know, and like nobody needs that. And the thing with him, he’s so brilliant and so talented that whatever he does next will, you know, supersede this in a heartbeat.”

He added: “But you know, it’s just annoying to have to spend a couple of weeks sort of in a position where you feel slightly destabilised. James, if you’re listening, or people who know and love James are listening, James, we love you. I’m very excited for what he does next.”

Meanwhile, James’ co-star, singer James Blunt, has claimed that a lot of the roundtable discussion was edited out of the final version of the episode. Speaking to the BBC, Blunt said: “He didn’t fall on his sword. That’s what you saw, that’s what you feel, but he didn’t. You didn’t see the full extent of the interrogation. It was heavy in there, and it was clear-cut. He was pinned to a post. We got him. We really, really got him.

“I think how that played out hasn’t really been revealed to you, but he didn’t just say, ‘Oh, guys, you got me’.” He went on to say of the editing of the show: “There are elements [of the show] where I was screaming at the screen for a different reason than you.

“No matter what really went on in that castle, you’re a victim to the edit.” James also revealed that he only went on the show to promote his new material and wasn’t too bothered about going along with the game.

He disclosed: “We all get paid the same, whether you’re there for day one or day 23. So for most of the time, I was trying to… Get the hell out of dodge. But no one was killing me, and no one was banishing me.”

Audiences who saw Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim’s hit documentary “You Can See Everything” may have left the theater with a few questions about Elizabeth Holmes and her longtime partner Billy Evans. While the former Theranos CEO is serving time in a Texas federal prison, Evans is active on X and fielding burning questions inspired by the documentary.

If you’ve haven’t yet seen the film, spoilers ahead.

Evans, 34, comes from a wealthy family who owns a luxury resort in San Diego. He and Holmes have two children, a 5-year-old son and 3-year-old daughter, and while Holmes serves an 11-year prison sentence, Evans is raising their kids, pursuing a new biotech venture and running the couple’s X accounts.

In “You Can See Everything,” Evans bares it all for the cameras, revealing everything from his nude body in the shower to his intense personality, among other questionable traits that have been widely discussed since the film hit theaters last month.

On Monday afternoon, he participated in an “AMA” (Ask Me Anything), and fans of the film flooded the comments.

Holmes’ parents, Christian Rasmus Holmes IV (a former vice president at Enron’s Clean Energy Solutions Group) and Noel Anne Holmes (née Daoust), both appear in the film, but as Fielder attempts to interview Holmes’ father, Evans becomes increasingly agitated.

On X, @kalmiavtuber asks, “My biggest question is, Billy, why did you stop Nathan from speaking to Liz’s father? Both Nathan and the audience saw it as integral to the documentary to truly ‘see everything.’ It felt like a missed opportunity that could have continued to give Liz more light.”

Evans replied, “She was going to prison. We had 3 days [together] at the time. I wanted to spend that time together. He interviewed her parents after she went in. They chose not to include that in the film. I didn’t control the edit. If there was something the directors wanted from them they had multiple opportunities to get it.”

One question popped up again and again, in various iterations: “Why did you keep sniffing throughout the documentary?”

And according to Evans, it wasn’t drug-induced sinus issues but, rather, germ- and Texas-induced. He said being a single dad to two toddlers makes him sick “approx 75% of days.” And, “Allergies in Austin TX are no joke. I take Claritin daily. Much less sniffling.”

And as for the blood testing device that Holmes spread out onto the kitchen table — the one that Theranos whistleblower Tyler Shultz said was not the same device that sent Holmes to prison but, rather, a future version of the Theranos product that was never used and never completed — @insistent_dw asked, “If the Theranos machine really worked as Liz said it did, why did it have to be dug out of storage containers in multiple pieces? I’d expect something like that to be locked in a safe and protected if it’s the prized machine behind a once billion dollar company.”

Evans replied, “Fair question. Theranos had been shut down for years, so naturally the hardware was in storage. We deliberately showed a disassembled device to show its internal components, not because that was all that remained. To my knowledge, 16 complete, functioning devices still exist. And Liz wasn’t reading a script. She was reading directly from the trial transcript. The litigation was still ongoing when we filmed.”

Farther down into the thread, one X user asks, “Have you ever told a lie?” To which Evans replies, “Yes.”

And @alexandraandnyc asked Evans to dispel one misconception from the film: “That I somehow control Liz,” Evans replied. “Anyone who actually knows her would find that idea hilarious.”

“She’s fiercely independent, strongwilled, and my best friend. We are partners in every sense. We challenge each other, disagree, and face the world together. Her closest friends are also some of my closest friends. If I ever mistreated her, they’d have my head.”

While it may have surprised audiences, “You Can See Everything,” landed an R-rating for its graphic nudity. One scene in particular features a full-frontal of Evans, and the dad of two has since said that he wasn’t thrilled with the shower scene making it into the film. When X users pressed him on allowing the cameras into the room, he pointed to a People article that featured anonymous sources saying Evans felt exploited and thought the scene would be kept PG.

“Trust the sources,” he said, alongside a link to the story.

Oppenheim, however, told Vulture last month that Evans seemed to initiate the scene: “It seems like he really had something he wanted to show to us and to the world.”

A BRITISH DC show star has been reportedly ‘ruled out’ as James Bond – with bosses said to be ‘looking for a certain body type.’

A total of four actors are understood to be in the running for the part with Callum Turner, Josh O’Connor and Jack Lowden, all 36, understood to have attended the final screen tests.

The identity of the fourth star has been kept under wraps – leading to fan speculation as to who it is.

One such name is London-born Aaron Pierre, who plays John Stewart/Green Lantern in DC Comics-inspired Lanterns.

However, a Hollywood Insider podcast has seemingly ruled out the 32-year-old for 007.

Pop culture critic and author Joanna Robinson featured as a guest on The Big Picture podcast.

Joanna revealed she knew the mystery actor’s identity, but couldn’t disclose it while on air.

Sean said: “We also heard some rumours. I don’t believe [Aaron Pierre] is in the mix.”

As the others remarked Aaron should be, Sean continued: “That’s what I’m saying. It’s like, obvious.

“The one thing I would say would be a strike against that is that [Daniel] Craig was also kind of a bruiser Bond.

“I think Pierre because of his physique and strength as a performer, he would also be kind of a bruiser bond.

“The sense I’m getting is that they’re going to go back to kind of a lithe boy.

“That’s the energy they want instead of a “I will choke you out” Bond.”

One of the frontrunners, Jack Lowden, has received backing from one of his Hollywood co-stars.

Jack, who plays River Cartwright in Apple TV’s Slow Horses, stars alongside Kristin Scott Thomas.

The actress confessed he would be “very, very good” if he was to land the role.

Speaking to The Times, the 66-year-old star said: “Oh god, I wish I knew.

“He’s got that twinkle, he’s cheeky and he’s a very, very good actor.”

Paris Jackson, daughter of late pop icon Michael Jackson, seeks more than half a million dollars in a preliminary transfer from her father’s estate to a trust for his three children. Jackson alleged in a recent court filing that the funds are overdue and under the “iron grip” of the estate’s executor.

The actor-singer on Thursday accused the executors of her father’s estate of failing to fulfill the singer’s wishes for Prince, Paris and Bigi to begin receiving income from their family trust.

“Michael Jackson’s family trust remains unfunded,” she said in the petition, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court and reviewed by The Times.

According to Paris, executors said in 2011 they would file a petition to begin funding the trust. Allegedly, no such petition has been filed: “Fifteen years later, Michael’s beneficiaries are still waiting.”

Attorneys for the estate’s executors did not immediately respond on Tuesday to The Times’ request for comment.

Jackson said her father, who died in June 2009, wanted his children to begin receiving money from the estate on each of their 21st birthdays and that each child would also receive “outright principal distributions” from the trust when they each turned 30. Prince and Paris (born to the singer and former wife Debbie Rowe) are 29 and 28, respectively. Bigi is 24 and was born via surrogate.

“They instead receive lesser amounts dictated by the remaining Executor, who uses this power to deter them from checking his abuses,” Paris’ petition alleges.

The executors for Michael Jackson’s estate began generating liquidity in 2011, including the sale of the singer’s Neverland Ranch in 2020 and the $750-million deal with Sony for intellectual property assets. “Executors have claimed the overall value of the Estate is now between $2 billion and $3 billion,” Paris said in her filing.

“Executor continues to keep each beneficiary beholden to him with an iron grip over when and if monies are distributed to them,” the petition added.

The “sirens” and “evermore” singer also accused the executors of meeting her previous legal challenges with “scorched earth litigation, public attacks, and a multimillion reduction” in money to herself and her siblings.

Paris also noted in her petition that the estate was subject to litigation by the Internal Revenue Service and said that litigation “also appears to be at or nearing its end,” potentially freeing up funds to be transferred to the family trust. The estate said in a statement that it cannot “fully” fund the trust until “several legal matters are resolved” including that case with the IRS, People reported.

“The Estate was able to secure a ruling to significantly reduce that amount, but the matter has not been settled and could still change,” the estate added in its statement to People. It also denied allegations of holding back or reducing payments to the three children.

Jackson asks the court to order the executor of her father’s estate to make a preliminary transfer of $600 million, or another amount it deemed fit, to the Michael Jackson Family Trust. The next hearing for this case is scheduled for Wednesday.

Walt Disney Co. is experimenting with using artificial intelligence to test out different concepts for music videos showcasing the lyrics to its songs, starting with “Go the Distance” from its 1997 animated movie, “Hercules.”

The effort is part of a deal with Bay Area AI startup OpenArt, which makes AI generated videos. Disney can input its songs into OpenArt’s platform, which will create a storyboard preview of a lyric video based on the song’s words, mood and emotional tone. Disney can make any changes during the process and fine-tune the video.

“They are very excited to bring some of the older catalogs of the music and create visual lyrics videos for those songs,” said OpenArt CEO Coco Mao, adding it’s “early exploration” for Disney to see how AI could potentially help with their creative workflow.

By working with OpenArt, “creative teams can iterate more freely, generating and evaluating multiple concepts in hours rather than weeks, enabling new fan experiences around Disney music between major releases,” Disney said in a blog post.

The commercial deal was announced as part of the Disney Accelerator Demo Day on Tuesday in Burbank. OpenArt was one of five companies in this year’s Accelerator program, which provides participants with investment capital and the opportunity to explore future collaborations with Disney leaders. This year, the entire cohort is made up of AI companies.

“We’re looking at how we can fit these companies into our existing workflows and help expedite that,” said David Min, vice president of innovation at the Walt Disney Co.

The experiment comes as Disney has challenged other AI companies over the use of its intellectual property. Disney and other studios have sued AI companies Midjourney and MiniMax, and in February, Disney sent a cease-and-desist letter to Chinese tech company ByteDance over its AI video generator Seedance 2.0.

OpenArt offers a platform that works with many different AI models, including Kling, Google Veo and Seedream. Businesses can select which AI models they wish to use for their videos. OpenArt also has a tool that helps flag potential intellectual property infringement.

Videos featuring the lyrics to Disney songs can be popular on social media and video platforms. For example, a lyric video posted six years ago featuring “Go the Distance” sung in different languages with a scene from “Hercules” generated 280,000 views on YouTube.

In general, making music videos has been a popular way that creators are using AI, as it can be more economical and allow them to test bold ideas without blowing the budget or going to multiple locations. Rather than a static image with music, a lyric video with different imagery can also help increase views on social media platforms.

“Before joining Open Art, I was in a rock band, so I was one of the artists that know the pain of not having enough money or time or resource to make lyrics videos or any kind of videos to promote your song on social media, so being able to be a part of building a tool that helps musicians and songs from big to small is very monumental,” said OpenArt executive Chloe Fang, who oversees entertainment and enterprise partnerships.

OpenArt was founded in 2022 by former Google engineers Mao and John Qiao. The company said it has nearly 100 employees and 17 million monthly active users.

Disney is considering different ways to incorporate AI into the company. For example, Disney Accelerator participant Irvine-based FieldAI is working with Disney on exploring whether robots can support parking or other operations within theme parks and San Francisco-based Physical Intelligence is looking at whether robotic systems can help with the handling and arranging of 3D glasses for cleaning between shows at Disney theme parks.

In September, Disney named Character.AI’s then-Chief Executive Karandeep Anand as its new chief technology officer. Last month, Character.AI filed for bankruptcy, and Disney offered $20 million to license some of the startup’s intellectual property. Other bidders can still top Disney’s offer.

Not all of Disney’s AI partnerships have worked out. Last year Disney announced a $1-billion investment in OpenAI and a licensing deal to bring Disney characters to OpenAI’s AI video generator Sora, but it fell apart months later after OpenAI decided to shut down Sora to focus its resources on other aspects of its business. The deal was never completed and no money changed hands.

Bake Off fans were ‘gutted’ as one star had to leave the tent for good

It was an agonising moment for one Great British Bake Off star.

The line-up for the quarter finals was confirmed during the latest episode on Tuesday, November 3 following a decision by the judges. Paul Hollywood and Nigella Lawson were once again on hand to provide comments and criticism as they chose who should make it as part of the final five contestants.

The competition entered its seventh week as the pressure mounted on the remaining contenders. Hosted by Noel Fielding and Alison Hammond, the bakers were first challenged in the signature to serve up gluten-free, dairy-free or vegan delicacies in what was dubbed ‘party week’.

This task aimed to prove that different foods can still be full of flavour, despite any special dietary requirements. The first challenge saw them make “delicious gluten free laminated pastries, perfect for a children’s party”.

One effort, Mo’s toastie parcels, even received a handshake from Paul Hollywood. Nigella added: “I salute Paul saluting you.” While for the technical challenge was set by Nigella.

They were made to use some ingredients they may not have expected as Alison explained the judges wanted them to create an “adorable animal cake”. Essentially a plant-based chocolate cake, Noel added it had to include ganache and butter cream, while they had to go for a lucky dip to decide which design they would have to create.

Tom, who was star baker last week, came out on top again. Nigella commented: “Oh, it’s getting quite boring.” All that was left was the showstopper, which saw the bakers make a “spectacular children’s birthday cake”.

It had to be either dairy free, gluten free, or plant based and also have an interactive element. Although they could choose their type of sponge and flavours.

While Gabe was named star baker for his bug party cake, Paul and Nigella ultimately chose to send home Gary. The 67-year-old from Nottinghamshire said an emotional goodbye before leaving the tent as they responded: “No worries.”

The retired garment technologist added: “I’m very proud. It was my time to go. This was probably one of the best experiences I’ve had in my life.” That means, the quarter-final line-up includes: Connie Lewis, Gabe Capes, Mo Mahirr, Moyin Odeniran and Tom Whittaker.

Channel 4 viewers watching along at home wasted no time before sharing their own view on the results and latest elimination. One posted on social media: “Gutted for Gary going to miss him but i’m glad Connie got through.”

Another added: “Much as I love Connie, Gary’s showstopper was much better. Totally unfair.” While someone else replied:”So happy for Gabe!! I did think it was Gary’s time but he was a lovely guy.”

Meanwhile, some dedicated fans had similar complaints as previous weeks as they were unconvinced with the nature of some challenges. One person said: “Hate to say it but some of the themes for bake off this series have been questionable.” Someone agreed: “Nahhh two cakes in a non cake week is boring.”

The Great British Bake Off continues next Tuesday at 8pm on Channel 4 and streaming online.

IT’S Monday lunchtime on London’s Old Bond Street and I’ve been invited to Dolce & Gabbana to hang out with the legend that is Sir Rod Stewart.

As the doors swing open, he walks in with two pairs of trousers under his arm and chirps in his trademark ­Cockney twang, “They’re too long in the leg”, before adding: “And a bottle of perfume for the lady, please.”

With me looking like a ropey Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, Rod escorts me upstairs and a beautifully gift-wrapped, £280 ­perfume bottle is handed to me en-route.

Turning his attention to a £3,800 silver sequinned jacket, Rod laments: “It’s lovely, but it’s far too heavy for the stage.”

Then, he ushers me to a posh sofa to discuss his last hoorah.

The Final Encore will mark Rod’s retirement from touring after six decades on the road.

‘3RD WHEEL’

Brooklyn deletes pic of Damien Hurley with arm round Nicola after fans mock him

Two extra dates have been added to the almost sold-out UK run thanks to the phenomenal demand for tickets.

Set lists are still being finalised, but fans can expect a spectacular trip down memory lane, with hits from Rod’s incredible back catalogue of 11 No1 albums — which include 25 Top Ten hits.

“At 81, it’s quite remarkable,” he says of the ticket sales for his farewell tour.

“I can’t jump around like I used to when I was 32. But I think the audience knows that, vocally, I’m better now than I’ve ever been.

“A few of the big voices have gone. Paul McCartney’s has gone a bit. I treat my voice like the crown jewels. Pavarotti said, ‘I’m a prisoner of my voice’, and you are. You wake up, you say, ‘Oh, I’ve got an itch. I’m f***ed. I’ve got to cancel’. I’m totally paranoid about runny noses now. “Now, when I go out, I wear white gloves like Michael Jackson. He did it to stop him catching colds and flu.”

Rod puts his remarkable good health down to a strict exercise regime which sees him training like an athlete — and getting lots of sleep.

“When you’re in your 20s and 30s, you don’t even warm up,” Rod laughs.

“You drink whatever you want, do the drugs, get on the stage.

“In the old days, we used to get p***d as farts with [band] FACES. Now, when I go on, I’m absolutely sober, then I’ll have a rum and Coke after the third song or so.

“Plus, I have an hour’s workout before I go on — stretching, cycling, stationary bike, massaging, warming up the voice, just getting yourself in the zone.

“It is like being an athlete.”

Of his regime at home, Rod adds: “Three times a week, I cycle for a mile, lots of uphill stuff, and I do a load of swimming.

“Frank Sinatra told me about that. He said, ‘If you just do underwater swimming as much as you can, holding your breath till you want to burst, because then your lungs will get bigger. And they’ll get used to you holding your breath and singing’.”

Rod’s pipes, I can attest, are back on top form after a scary ­incident this summer in Utah.

At an amphitheatre 4,300ft above sea level, Rod needed oxygen after almost fainting on stage.

Keen to reassure his fans he’s now fine, the Maggie May singer explains: “I had a bout of illness, which was bad luck. I’d just had bronchitis at the same time as I was playing above altitude. I was in a right state.

“The geezer who worked for me didn’t tell me. I said, ‘Are we above sea level?’. He said, ‘Nah, of course we’re not’.

“So, I ran out and did three fast songs. All of a sudden, I was like, I couldn’t breathe. I got through the show, but it was painful.

“If I’m performing above altitude, you go out and do a mid-tempo one and a slow one, then do a fast one. Not three off the bounce, jumping about.”

Rod, with his electric blonde hair and bronzed skin, could pass for a man 20 years younger.

A decade after being diagnosed with prostate cancer, he is still all-clear from the disease.

Grinning, he says of his health tests: “My PSA levels are at 0.02. You’ve got to keep an eye on it.”

But cackling, he adds of the old-style check for prostate problems: “Finger up the bum, no harm done. That’s what most men don’t like. The old finger up the bum. But just get on with it.”

Like any good musician, Rod has his vices and cannot resist a drink . . . even if his wife Penny Lancaster warns him off it.

“I wish I could curb my drinking, but I love wine with an evening meal,”

Rod explains. “I’ve got a great chef and I can’t drink water with a good meal.

“Penny says, ‘You must cut back, darling’. I only have a couple of glasses. But then, sometimes, I’ll get on the apple martinis and I can really knock those back.

“I have these conversations with my kids. I stress to them that I can have a drink, you know, because it’s show business, I drink whenever I want. Not that I drink a lot. But, you know, one of my sons goes out and gets all pd on a Sunday night and he’s got to go to school the next morning.”

Laughing, he adds: “I’ve let the cat out of the bag there, haven’t I? There’s only one going to school.”

The Final Encore will kick off its UK leg in Glasgow on April 29 at the OVO Hydro, after Rod turned down a farewell gig at his beloved Celtic Park in the city.

“It would have been just, like, 90 minutes and I’d say goodbye,” he explains. “I thought, ‘If I can have it for three nights, I can really get into it and indulge myself in it’.”

By next summer, Rod’s touring days will be over — but he says that, inspired by artists such as Adele, he is planning smaller, residency-style shows in future.

“I made the album [Swing Fever in 2024] with Jools Holland, which got to No1 and, when I do my last show, that’s what I’m going to do. I’ve talked to Jools.

“I don’t know if he wants to do it with me, because I think he’s afraid of losing his identity. If he doesn’t, I’ll form my own big band. I’d like to do the London Palladium for a few nights, then maybe the Albert Hall.”

Rod’s fans also have a top-secret documentary to look forward to next year, after the star confessed he’s just done a tell-all interview with his old foe, Sir Elton John.

The pair, who are now good pals, traded comedy barbs over the years, with Rod admitting to me he was miles better at football than Elton when they trained together at Watford FC.

“I nearly signed for Brentford,” Rod says proudly. “I only finished playing when I was 68.

“But Elton, I was miles better than him when we trained together. The documentary we’ve done should be out at the ­beginning of the year. At the end . . . he kissed me on the lips. And we caught it on film.”

Rod added of Elton’s kids Zachary, 15, and Elijah, 13: “His boys are wonderful. I don’t know whether they were putting it on for me, but they came in from school and went, ‘Daddy, Daddy, oh, Mr Stewart, we are so glad to meet you, Mr ­Stewart’. They are so well spoken.”

Looking back at his six-decade career, Rod knows it won’t be easy to retire from touring.

He says: “Carly Simon found it stressful going on stage. I don’t. I am absolutely raring to go out there. I absolutely love it.”

Stepping back will, however, give Rod more time to focus on Penny and his one other true love — his model train set.

Covering 156 square metres and featuring a 275-metre track that runs through a city landscape, it has kept Rod busy for decades.

“I want to open it to the public and give the money to charity,” he explains.

“I think I’ll be able to get permission. I would like to share it with the world.”

Politics is another keen passion of Rod’s, although he admits he’s more likely to keep his views to himself these days for fear of being misunderstood.

One subject we speak passionately about, however, is the plight of the people of Ukraine — who Rod has publicly supported since Russia invaded in 2022.

“I just hope it’s not too late for Ukraine,” he says.

“They’re going into winter now, and this could be the turning point. It’s scary.

“They’re bombing the fuel and water supplies. Putin is a b*****d.”

Another topic of contention is US president Donald Trump, who Rod has no time for.

“I stand by what I told Kind Charles,” he says.

“I said, ‘Trump’s a pig’. I could tell the King wanted to laugh.”

Rod will, undoubtedly, use his Final Encore shows to urge fans to champion all that’s good in the world — despite still coming to terms with his own global impact.

“I haven’t twisted anybody’s arm or threatened to kill them if they don’t give me money,” he tells me.

“I’ve earned it off my own back.

“I want to thank my public for this. They’ve given me the most glorious, unimaginable lifestyle.

“When I was at school, I never dreamed that when I started singing, it would end up like this.

“Me, performing on stage at 81.

“It’s been the best life and I am so grateful.”

Nicolas Cage says he’s “a little bit homeless” because of the massive sinkhole that swallowed up the driveway of his Malibu home

While sharing his Halloween plans during an appearance on the main stage Saturday at Los Angeles Comic Con, the “Spider-Noir” star lamented that greeting any trick-or-treaters at home wasn’t a part of his itinerary.

“I’m currently a little bit homeless,” Cage said in a fan video from the event. “Something happened to my house in Malibu, so I’m just sort of living in hotels. So I don’t have the normal trick-or-treaters that I would like to enjoy tonight.”

Instead he said his plans for his favorite holiday included taking his daughter trick-or-treating “somewhere in Santa Monica” and then watching Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 horror classic, “The Shining.”

“That is one of my favorite movies ever made,” he said.

A massive, expanding sinkhole opened up just outside Cage’s home on Sea Level Drive on Sept. 8, prompting Malibu to declare a local emergency and issue evacuation orders for 31 homes in the beachside community. Seven of those homes were red-tagged because of hazardous conditions.

The 25-foot-deep and 30-by-60-feet wide crater blocks the only road in and out of the neighborhood. The homeowner’s association that controls the private roadway is responsible for overseeing the repair efforts. The work includes excavation to retrieve a soil sample and debris removal, as well as installing sandbags to mitigate further damage from strong waves and coastal erosion.

In October, Cage secured four permits to repair the damage caused by the sinkhole.

L.A. Comic Con marks the “National Treasure” actor’s latest outing to directly interact with his fans. He also appeared at Fan Expo Dallas and New York Comic Con earlier this fall, where he addressed topics including his thoughts on the Marvel Cinematic Universe and AI.

Princess Andre’s career soars as she lands FOURTH series of reality show

The fashion deal comes just days after The Sun revealed her hit reality show The Princess Diaries is returning for a fourth series.

Filming is already underway, with new episodes expected to land early next year.

A source told us: “Everyone’s thrilled Princess is doing another series, it’s been so successful for ITV.”

The ITV2 show follows the teenager as she navigates family life and builds her career in the spotlight.

And Princess’s ambitions don’t stop at fashion and telly.

The Sun recently revealed she is hoping to take her cosmetics brand By Princess Stateside, with a trip planned for next summer to meet beauty retailers.

Sources also claimed the range is set to launch in Boots, marking another major step for her growing business.

Insiders told The Sun the aim is to make Princess “Britain’s answer to Kylie Jenner” as she prepares to take her beauty brand to the US.

Meanwhile, Princess is currently putting herself to the test alongside brother Junior, 21, on Celebrity Race Across The World.

The siblings took on a gruelling 7,500km journey from Borneo to Melbourne, surviving on a budget of just £26 each a day.

Speaking to Radio Times, Princess said: “We wanted to challenge ourselves, prove people wrong and show the real us.”

The first snippets of Emmerdale 2027 may have been teased or can at least be deciphered, with some wedding news, an exit on the way and a possible stunt in the New Year

Emmerdale could be set for a dramatic start to 2027, according to some teasers.

From quotes with producer Sophie Roper to scenes that have aired, we could be seeing the shaping of what the next year might look like in the Dales. A feud could be rumbling on for two warring relatives, while one couple has agreed to tie the knot, with a wedding date set for January.

There’s hints of a stunt on the cards too while nothing is concrete. What is confirmed is a huge Christmas on the show, which will pave the way for a big start to 2027.

Not only that, but we also know that, as it stands, Sadie King will be leaving around January to February time. Actress Patsy Kensit revealed she was only with the show for six months. Here’s what we know so far…

New Year stunt?

Speaking to Inside Soap Magazine recently, Emmerdale producer Sophie Roper teased we might be seeing a stunt very soon. She said: “We can always throw one into the mix.

“As we build over the next couple of months, we have some really high-octane stories in play and we know our viewers love a stunt. tick with us – there’ll be some exciting stuff at the end of this year, and into the start of 2027 as well.”

She repeated: “There’s a really exciting, brilliant end to the year, and afterwards, a phenomenal start to 2027.” Consider us very intrigued!

Wedding bells and Liam’s secret

A recent episode confirmed that Chas Dingle had booked her wedding date for 29th January 2027. Liam agreed to the date, with the pair set to wed in the New Year.

So if all goes to plan, there’s a wedding confirmed – but will it go without a hitch? After all, this talk of a possible stunt in early 2027 is no doubt going to spark worries that it could be at the wedding.

Then there’s the fact that Liam is clearly hiding something from Chas and others. We saw newcomer Dave leaving Liam rattled when he admitted he recognised him from his past.

When Liam realised Dave knew him, while Dave did not recognise Liam’s surname, he shut Dave down. Fans are wondering if Liam has a secret identity, secret family, or he’s hiding something about his past – so will this all come out at the wedding?

Sadie exit

Patsy revealed her role isn’t a full-time return to the Dales. She’s only there for six months, with her set to wrap up filming in December. She told the Mirror earlier this year: “I’m here for six months, so they’ve got me really busy!”

Whether a return could happen after this remains to be seen. But this obviously reveals that whatever she is up to currently, she won’t be here full-time. With her ending filming in December, that means Sadie might leave around January or February 2027.

Joe and Caleb feud

We spoke to Emmerdale producer Laura Shaw recently, who confirmed Joe Tate’s dark feud with his uncle Caleb Miligan would be ever present in 2027. She teased: “What I can say is off the back of the wedding, that chasm is going to open even wider between those two.

“It will be one of our kind of big stories, certainly through the rest of this year and into next year.” Of course Joe has paid Sadie King to split up Caleb and his wife Ruby, leading to Sadie seducing Caleb.

So will it be this plan and the affair possibly being exposed that sees these characters once again at war as we head into 2027? Or might something else happen?

Other things to be explored

Victoria Sugden is meant to be returning to the village, while as it stands, the character has told her family she has no plans to come back. So surely at some point we will see her change her mind and return home.

Similarly, Tracy Robinson has moved away, with actress Amy Walsh on maternity leave. Should Amy decide to return to the role, Tracy’s comeback could be set for 2027.

We still have no update on when Robert Sugden and Aaron Dingle’s wedding will happen, so surely 2027 will be about that?

Emmerdale airs weeknights at 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX. * Follow Mirror Celebs and TV on TikTok, Snapchat , Instagram , Twitter , Facebook , YouTube and Threads.

TV star Keeley Hawes has appeared in everything from Line of Duty to The Durrells and is currently starring in Prime Video’s The Assasin

Keeley Hawes has made a candid admission.

The star of a host of TV dramas from Spooks and Ashes to Ashes to The Durrells and Line of Duty is back for series 2 of Prime Video’s comic thriller The Assassin.

Keeley plays Julie, a contract killer forced out of retirement when ghosts from the past threaten her and her estranged son Edward, played by Freddie Highmore.

But it seems the 50-year-old was left a little scarred by her experience of filming. In a new interview she admitted that she has been left with “quite dark thoughts”.

“I do have really quite dark thoughts about people that perhaps I didn’t have before – like if someone’s on a video call on the train. That could also be my age. But I’m blaming Julie as well,” she said in a new interview with the Radio Times.

Keeley, who turned 50 earlier this year, admitted it was empowering to be playing “a perimenopausal James Bond”, as her character is described by her on-screen son.

She said: “It’s written by two middle-aged men [Harry and Jack Williams], and they get it. In terms of the big set pieces, I’m having a ball. Julie’s a bit fitter this series, so there’s less groaning when I get up off the ground. But she’s no gym bunny. I’m still a woman in my 50s.”

Ahead of series one of The Assasin, which was primarily was shot in Greece, specifically Athens, the cast had discussed the harsh filming conditions as they battled against sweltering temperatures.

And Keeley, who is married to Succession star Matthew Macfadyen, confessed she had to handle some enormous stunts, but relished the challenge. “This is some of the biggest stunt work that I’ve ever done,” she revealed.

In season one, Edward discovered that Julie, who he was raised by, wasn’t actually his birth mother, and in actual fact took him in after killing his father on a job.

The synopsis for season 2 says: “Hitwoman Julie and Edward reluctantly team up once again, when Edward’s dream honeymoon with Kayla is hijacked by the arrival of a mysterious new threat.

“Plunged back into a world of international crime, kidnapping and high-speed car chases, to survive the job and mend an already fragile relationship, they’ll have to take down Spain’s corrupt underworld… and hopefully not each other first.”

The Assasin season 2 will release on Prime Video on Friday, November 6. Read the full interview with Keeley and Freddie in this week’s Radio Times

KIM Kardashian’s nipples stole the spotlight as she rocked a see-through silver gown at the All’s Fair premiere in New York last night.

The Skims mogul, who just turned 46 last month, looked sensational as she rocked a figure-hugging gray strapless dress on the red carpet.

With her curves on full display, Kim’s hourglass frame was accentuated as she posed for the cameras before her.

The plunging neckline of the strapless dress highlighted Kim’s famous boobs, with the sheer fabric of the garment giving fans a glimpse at her nipples.

Reacting to the look, one person on X penned: “This is one of my favourite looks… just wow.”

“Wow, absolutely beautiful,” said a second.

“At this point, why does she even bother with clothes?” asked a third, clearly noticing the sheer fabric which displayed her nipples.

“I’m so tired of seeing her boobs on display. We get it. You have big knockers,” penned a fourth.

While a fifth said: “I like the dress.”

And a sixth added: “Can she even breathe omg?”

This comes after Kim showed off her figure at the All’s Fair screening Mexico.

For this occasion, she wore a very unique white dress with a gaping neckline that reached down to her stomach.

But before the Mexican screening, she looked sensational at the premiere in Rome – though fans were quick to critique her body.

She wore a daring cut-out gown by designer Galia Lahav and styled by Zendaya’s BFF Law Roach.

In one shot where Kim faced away from the camera, fans spotted a strange and deep dent in her back.

One follower cheekily called the mark a “backgina,” seemingly in response to her infamous “pitgina” in 2025.

“What am I looking at?!” one Reddit follower marvelled.
