Tonight, a week of Late Late Show UK specials will begin airing on Sky One.
The show will feature a star-studded cast, including Harry Styles, Tom Hanks, Benedict Cumberbatch, Mila Kunis, and even Michelle Obama.
Of course, the host will also be present; James Corden.
He’s best known for playing Smithy in Gavin and Stacey, who had a sister named Rudy, a school-age girlfriend called Lucy, and an on-off flirtationship with the woman of his dreams/nightmares, Nessa Shanessa Jenkins.
In real life, however, James has a wife called Julia Carey, and multiple children.
Let’s take a look at the woman who captured the comedian’s heart, and their family life together.

James and Julia met back when he was living with his History Boys co-star Dominic Cooper.
The now-40-year-old was introduced to Julia through Dominic, who had already known her for years.
From there, they hit it off, and were married in 2012.
They have three children together; Max (22 March 2011), Carey (27 October 2014) and Charlotte (12 December 2017), and Dominic is Max’s godfather. How sweet.

Julia is a TV producer, and started out as an actress, appearing in Wings, A Bunch of Fives and Enemy at the Door.
As well as that, she worked Save The Children, which was her job when she met James.
The pair live together in LA, although it’s been rumoured that – since James has not renewed his Late Late Show contract – they might be coming back to the UK soon.
They were due to get the help of dating experts Anna Williamson and Paul C Brunson but now Jermaine, 36, and his wife of five years, Alice will be taking their place.
Celebrity Big Brother fans will remember the relationship hit the headlines when Jermaine was filmed flirting with model Chloe Ayling while on the reality series last year.
But the pair seem to be taking steps to mend their marriage and were spotted arriving at the agency in London to start filming this morning.
A source told The Sun: ‘Jermaine and Alice have had a difficult time since Celebrity Big Brother and jumped at the chance to get some help from proper experts to mend their marriage for good.’

Blue singer Lee Ryan, Lady Colin Campbell and Lauren Goodger are all confirmed to be taking part too.
Celebs Go dating will air on E4 later this year.

Curtis’ speeches are getting a little old (Picture: ITV/REX)
Love Island’s resident motivational speaker Curtis Pritchard strikes again and viewers are having none of it.
The professional ballroom dancer’s antics have gotten a little old, and tonight viewers have had enough.
As the islanders prepared for bed after the shocking Joe Garratt and Elma Pazar elimination, Curtis launched into a weird motivational speech about clocks.
And Twitter lost it.
Legions of fans have taken to the site to ask Curtis to kindly refrain from the speeches.
One fan wrote: ‘Can Curtis just stop with the “inspiring” quotes #LoveIsland.’
While another added: ‘Curtis speaks like someone who’d write essays for LinkedIn. #LoveIsland.’
Another fan said: ‘Okay Curtis is annoying me now #LoveIsland.’
One other viewer tweeted: ‘nah get curtis off my screen #LoveIsland.’
Tonight’s episode also saw Maura Higgins reveal her dating history and Lucie get to grips to villa life without Joe.
Love Island continues tomorrow night at 9pm on ITV2.

Love Island’s Maura opens up on bisexual dating history (Picture: ITV2)
Tommy Fury was shocked after hearing Maura Higgins talk about how she once slept with a girl.
While giving Lucie advice following Joe’s departure, the girls decided to chat about their love lives and how many people they’d slept with.
‘On a scale of one to 10, how much do you love sex?’ Tommy asked Maura
‘Urm,’ the ring girl replied before saying: ‘I’ve only slept with five people so.’
The girls gasped in shock with Molly-Mae teasing her buddy by asking: ‘You are messing?’
‘Hello,’ Maura replied as she swore on her life she was telling the truth.
Tommy’s reaction was all of us (Picture: ITV2)
‘I was in a nine year relationship and a two year relationship, how would I have slept with any more?’ she smirked.
‘Oh Jesus, everyone is f***ing shocked.’
Molly couldn’t believe what she was hearing and told the islander she thought she would ‘be in the numbers.’
‘You know, just because you’re so sensual, you love it, I just thought maybe your number would be higher than five, I’m proud of you!’
‘Yeah I don’t do one night stands,’ Maura confessed.
Maura has slept with six people (Picture: ITV2)
Molly then revealed she had slept with 11 people, as Maura chimed in: ‘Oh wait I can say six! I was with a girl.’
Tommy looked completely baffled at the revelation.
‘What? I’m sorry what?’ he quizzed.
‘I was with a girl after a night out,’ Maura explained to the boxer who seemed totally confused.
‘She is 100 per cent into men and so am I, but it just happened.’
As everyone burst into a fit of giggles, Tommy tried to quickly change the topic of conversation.
‘I, urm, okay, what about f***ing, what should we talk about now?’
Love Island continues tomorrow at 9pm on ITV2.

Just when you least expect it, Love Island drops another bombshell into the mix and tonight it was stunning model Arabella Chi who arrived in the villa.
The 28-year-old from London has fronted fashion campaigns and even starred in a movie with Game of Thrones’ Jason Mamoa.
On Instagram, the beauty has 34.5k followers and that’s only going to grow after her stint in Mallorca.
Arabella even has a previous Love Island connection – she shares an ex with Lucie Donlan in former islander Charlie Frederick.
But she has admitted she has her eye on Michael Griffiths and Danny Williams.
‘I’m not going to go for the single guys because they’re not for me. If a guy is giving me a half way in, I’ll keep trying,’ she said.
New girl Arabella (Picture: ITV)
Amber Gill will not be impressed. Yewande Biala may not care, however.
The stunning blonde describes herself as a ‘very energetic person’.
‘I bring a fun element, there’s no one in there that is the joker. I like banter. I like playing fun tricks on people,’ she said.
In terms of friendship, Arabella said she’s looking forward to getting to know Maura Higgins and Molly-Mae Hague.
When asked who she think she’ll get on with, she said: ‘Molly-Mae and Maura – I think it’s also the job thing, I get on with people I can relate too. Especially Molly-Mae.’

Love Island newbie Arabella Chi has a major crush on Jason Momoa (Picture: Instagram)
Love Island has been hit with another new arrival, in the form of Arabella Chi.
But while the model is ready to begin her search for love in the Mallorcan villa, it seems she already runs in some pretty famous circles.
In fact, the 28-year-old is pally with none other than Jason Momoa.
Yes, seriously, she actually knows Aquaman.
Which slightly pours cold water all over Tommy Fury and Curtis Pritchard’s claim to fame of having famous brothers…
Speaking about her ideal type ahead of her entrance, she was quick to name-dropped the Game Of Thrones star.

She shot scenes with Jason for Justice League (Picture: Rex)
‘Jason Momoa,’ she said. ‘I did a film with him. Justice League and Wonderwoman. We had to train with him. I was an Amazonian.
‘I remember this guy bear crawling towards me and I was like, “oh my god, he is so hot.”’
Well, she’s not wrong…
While there unfortunately aren’t any Jason Momoa-esque men currently residing in the infamous villa – yet – Arabella also revealed she has her eye on two current stars.
And they’re already coupled up…
Arbella has her eye on Michael – and Amber Gill will be fuming (Picture: ITV2)When asked who she had taken a liking to, she replied: ‘Michael and Danny’.

New Love Island bombshell Arabella Chi and Lucie Donlan share an ex in Charlie Frederick Providers: Rex/Instagram
The arrival of new bombshell, Arabella Chi, in the Love island villa tonight has caused a bit of a stir.
The stunning 28-year-old model is going to turn heads and break hearts but it looks like she already has a connection to islander Lucie Donlan.
Both women dated former Love Island contestant, Charlie Frederick
While Lucie and Charlie’s romance is well documented on both of their Instagrams, but no photographic evidence of Arabella and Charlie has been uncovered yet.
When asked what her claim to fame is Arabella said: ‘I also dated Charlie Frederick for a time.’
Let’s hope she elaborates more once in the villa.

Viewers, and Amber Gill, may be a bit perturbed to hear that the blonde beauty has her eyes on Michael Griffiths.
Michael and Amber seem to be head over heels for one and other and it seems unlikely that anyone can come between them at this point.

Arabella said: ‘If I’ve coupled up, it means I know what I want. Yes I have cheated and been cheated on. I’ve only ever been loyal in one relationship which was my last relationship.
‘In that relationship I would never look anywhere else. It all comes down to respect. When it’s on and off with someone, as it has been before, you never have that respect.’
Love Island continues tomorrow night at 9pm on ITV2.

However, the sandwich maker insisted he did nothing wrong, and is ‘gutted’ it has been perceived like that.
‘I didn’t manipulate or abuse her,’ he said. ‘I am gutted that it has been perceived in that way because it wasn’t like that at all.’
Joe also claimed he had Lucie’s ‘best interests at heart’, and just wanted to make her experience ‘as amazing as possible’.
Lucie was left in tears at many points on Love Island (Picture: ITV2)
Despite all the complaints to Ofcom – which are mounting – the rejected contestant explained he will not be apologising for his behaviour while in the villa.
‘I am not going to say sorry,’ he added to the Sun. ‘I may have worded things wrong and the cameras are on you 24/7. I may have slipped up a bit but I am only human.
‘I am young and inexperienced so maybe some things have come out differently to what they are. I just hope people can see me for who I genuinely am and what I genuinely am. I am not that person.’
Joe was axed from the villa in a savage double elimination on yesterday’s show, alongside Elma Pazar.
‘I’ve definitely fallen for the girl so yeah, I do hope there’s a future for us,’ he said on his exit.
‘Me and Lucie definitely had a lot more to give, but it is what it is. You just have to take it.’
Joe and Lucie were coupled up together from the very first episode (Picture: ITV2)
In an earlier instalment of the ITV2 dating show, he was seen pulling her aside to berate the ITV2 star over her closeness to Tommy, suggesting she should spend more time with the girls instead.
‘I’m not happy with it. It’s strange,’ he fumed. ‘I think it’s time for you to get close with the girls.’
Discussing the scenes, Women’s Aid, with co-chief executive Adina Claire stated: ‘Controlling behaviour is never acceptable, and with Love Island viewers complaining to Ofcom in record numbers about Joe’s possessive behaviour towards Lucie, more people are becoming aware of this and want to challenge it.
‘Abusive relationships often start off with subtle signs of control, so it’s important that it is recognised at an early stage.
‘Love Island viewers are now very vocal in calling out unhealthy behaviour between couples on the show, and this is a positive development.’
Following the outpouring of concern, Lucie’s mum, Cellie Donlan, has shut down thoughts that her daughter could be in trouble and actually praised Love Island for the treatment plan they’ve put in place to care for islanders and their families.
‘Lucie should stay on the show. We’ve got no worries over her what so ever, she’s very happy,’ she told Mail Online.
‘The support given to her and us as a family by ITV has been amazing.’
Love Island continues daily, at 9pm, on ITV2.

Love Island ended on quite a racy cliffhanger tonight with Molly-Mae Hague boasting about Tommy Fury’s manhood – and her face said a thousand words.
On a more of a lighter note after Joe Garratt’s elimination in last night’s episode, tonight saw Molly-Mae and Tommy snuggled up in bed as the lights went out and it seems the social media influencer found it the perfect opportunity to get a little handsy with the boxer.
Much to the surprise of viewers, Molly-Mae suddenly remarked: ‘It’s f*****g huge,’ before pulling a truly gobsmacked facial expression as Tommy laughed proudly.
It looks like the Hideaway is only a heartbeat away for these two.
Needless to say, viewers were stunned by Molly-Mae’s revelation and some are predicting the couple will be the first islanders to ‘do bits’, including one who said: ‘Molly and Tommy will be the first ones to do bits I reckon.’
Although, Amy Hart and Curtis Pritchard may have beaten them to it on that front.
Declaring Molly-Mae’s comment as TMI, another viewer joked: ‘My innocent catholic ears hearing molly-mae say “it’s f*****g huge” to tommy.’
One Love Island fan was unconvinced by Molly-Mae’s bold claims and quipped: ‘Molly-Mae must have been feeling Tommy’s arm.’
Things are heating up quickly for the couple, who only shared their first kiss a few days ago after Tommy decided not to pursue a potential romance with newbie Maura Higgins, who made a beeline for the boxer after arriving in the villa last week.
Elsewhere in the episode, viewers eye-rolled when Curtis delivered yet another motivational speech, while we were also teased with the arrival of another new contestant.

A show source told The Sun: ‘[Bosses] are really pleased with how it’s started and with all the footage they’ve already got in the can for series one.
‘They have been warmly received by viewers, too. Ratings are up on last year, which is a good sign. Now Freddie and Paddy have got their feet under the table, the ante will be upped for series two.

‘They’re going to go for bolder locations and bigger challenges. This should bring great scenes and laughs for the audience.’
And insiders say filming for the 28th series could get started as soon as next month.
As such, the new line-up isn’t relying on scripts too heavily to carry to their natural chemistry.
‘It [feels] like we kind of already did a few series,’ he said. ‘Which I was really pleased about, because that was a worry you know, do you get on do you not? But we all do.
‘We’re like big kids, we’ve got the best job in the world always driving around in these fantastic cars all over the world, it’s great!’
The show hasn’t quite been the same since Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May departed in 2015 but Sunday’s episode saw legions of fans take to Twitter to praise the new era.
‘I personally think Paddy and Freddie have just saved Top Gear,’ he told BBC Breakfast the next day.
‘I just thought it was great! Loads of fun, brilliant banter and it’s exactly what we’ve been missing for a really long time.’

Oti Mabuse has spoken about her battle with her ‘big boobs,’ which she worried about as a new Strictly professional in 2015 (Pictured) (Photo by Karwai Tang/WireImage)
Oti Mabuse felt like her 28GG cup size was ‘massive’ compared to the other Strictly Come Dancing professionals in her first fitting in 2015.
The dancer says she burst into tears during initial preparations for her costumes on the BBC One show because she felt ‘so bad’ about the way she looked.
But the 28-year-old says that being on the dancing show helped to boost her confidence because there was no discrimination over her big boobs, which she has been learning to deal with since a young age.
Oti told ITV’s Lorraine in a forthcoming chat: ‘Strictly opened a lot of doors to me. I remember fitting my first bra and I was crying.

‘I was like “This looks so bad and I look so massive compared to the other girls”.
‘Nobody picked on me for it and no-one discriminated against me for it and nobody said anything in a negative way and I think that helped me and my self- esteem and my nerves about being out in a bra with sequins on.’
Oti will join the morning programme to front a new series about body confidence called Body Confidential.
In the series, the 28-year-old has addressed issues she has faced personally, while giving advice about how people of different ages, shapes and sizes can feel confident.
Mabuse, who also appeared on the BBC’s The Greatest Dancer this year as a dance captain, said her struggle with her body started at a young age.
She went on: ‘All my family has always had big boobs. I was hitting puberty way before other girls were.
‘As a 12 year-old girl going in and saying “I’m looking for a B cup”, that kind of sounds unrealistic.
‘I’m lucky that my mum has the same issue and she was able to teach me how to deal with it. As a young girl I was always wearing jerseys over it.’
Oti Mabuse’s stint on Lorraine starts on Thursday from 8.30am on ITV.

Joe and girlfriend Stacey Solomon welcomed their baby ‘a lot earlier’ than they had planned last month.
But the newborn is doing well and Joe praised his ‘warrior’ girlfriend on Thursday’s Good Morning Britain.
He said: ‘He’s four weeks old my little boy. He is tiny. He was only a little tiddler but he’s put on loads of weight now so he’s back to birth weight so he’s ready.
‘Stacey’s doing amazing. It’s such a difficult job being a mother. She’s a warrior. If it was down to us (men) we’d never do it. She’s doing amazing. Kids all love him as well.’
Stacey has two sons – 11-year-old Zachary and eight-year-old Leighton – from two previous relationships, while Joe shares 11-year-old son Harry with his ex-fiance.

Sharing a candid Instagram picture, Stacey revealed she is struggling with sleep deprivation and keeping up with his feeding demands.
Alongside two snaps of herself and the newborn on the sofa, the 29-year-old began: ‘Today has been a total write-off…
‘I had so many plans and executed zero of them… I’m so behind with pumping, Barely getting enough off in time for feeds.
‘Looking out the window at the moment, dreading the sun going down. Thank goodness it’s summer! Did anyone else feel like that? I needed to sleep so badly today but I get sad when I sleep through the day and I wake up and it’s nearly night time!
‘But it’s OK tomorrow is a new day and I’ll be ready for it, Probably, Maybe, might actually not be though haha!’
Good Morning Britain airs weekdays from 6am on ITV.

The actor’s decision to say goodbye to group leader Sheldon kickstarted the beginning of the end of the long-running sitcom, which decided to not continue without their leading man.
He explained: ‘I played the s**t out of that character, and some people could have done it longer probably — I don’t mean our show, but this relationship with the character.
Jim’s decision marked the end of the series after 2 years (Picture: CBS)
‘But I feel like we really wrung that material for what it was.’
Jim later added that he essentially was getting cravings for something new, adding that ‘you don’t get to check into the same parking space for 12 years’.
True to his word, after finishing the show, he uprooted his life and moved to the other side of the US – setting up a home in New York.
Finally earning the Nobel Prize he had been working towards since season one, alongside wife Amy Farrah-Fowler, Jim’s character Sheldon got rid of his long-winded speech and instead chose to thank the friends that had put up with him for so long in the process.
Amy, played by Mayim Bialik, decided to dedicate her speech to young women wanting to get into the profession, even though it was a male-dominated industry.

Amber Gill’s Instagram followers are mostly fake, according to a study (Picture: ITV)
Love Island star Amber Gill’s Instagram followers are 65% fake, according to a study.
Amber currently has 535,000 followers on Instagram, a number that will surely skyrocket when she leaves the villa.
But she might want to take some time to weed out the spam.
According to research carried out by Instagram influencer marketing service Takumi, she had the highest percentage of fake followers when she entered the villa, along with new boy Jordan Hames who also has 65% fake followers.
Behind them are the recently dumped Joe Garratt (412,000 followers) and Yewande Biala (365,000 followers) both with 64% fake followers, and Michael Griffiths (478,000 followers) with 63% fake followers.
At the other end of the scale Maura Higgins has the lowest number, although almost half of her 322,000 followers are fake.
Takumi’s CEO Adam Williams said: ‘The results of our research show the extent to which fraudulent activity can take place on Instagram. Yet influencers are still powerful marketing tools due to their ability to resonate deeply with their core audiences.
Love Island 2019 stars' fake Instagram followers, according to Takumi
‘Brands must carefully consider who they work with and how they assess their worth. The scale of someone’s social media following doesn’t necessarily equate to real influence among consumers.’
Viewers recently saw Joe voted off the show, leaving his partner Lucie Donlan single.
He also claimed he had Lucie’s ‘best interests at heart’, and just wanted to make her experience ‘as amazing as possible’.
‘I am young and inexperienced so maybe some things have come out differently to what they are. I just hope people can see me for who I genuinely am and what I genuinely am. I am not that person,’ he told The Sun.

Friends fans hated Julie even more than Rachel did (Picture: Warner Bros.)
Julie came along before Ross Geller and Rachel Green even went on a break, before the 18 page letter (front and back) and yet actress Lauren Tom was still regularly booed when she turned up to the set of Friends.
From the moment Rachel (played by Jennifer Aniston) was clutching a bouquet of flowers, eagerly waiting at the JFK arrivals lounge for Ross (David Schwimmer) to return to New York from his business trip to China, Lauren was doomed.
Fans were so invested in Ross and Rachel from the pilot episode the studio audience would actively taunt Lauren during the live tapings.
‘I wasn’t prepared for the amount of venom I was about to receive in a live audience where they actually booed my character,’ Lauren admitted during an appearance on The Today Show.
‘And, of course, I was trying very hard not to get my feelings hurt. So I had to get used to that. But I did understand intellectually that, you know, the audience was meant to be rooting for Rachel. Even I was rooting for Rachel, on some level, ’cause I was a fan of the show.’
Weren’t we all? Although, a part of Lauren is still rooting for Julie and Ross.
‘We would’ve been so happy with our cats,’ she grinned. ‘But I think Julie probably ended up with Russ.’
Sadly, 15 years after Rachel abandoned her trip to Paris, and turned up at Ross’ door (childless) it’s likely that break officially became a break-up, according to relationship psychologist Zoe Coetzee.
‘Fairytale finales often ignore factors grounded in the reality of an actual relationship,’ Zoe told Metro.co.uk. ‘By getting off the plane, Rachel gave up her job in Paris, the fashion capital of the world. It’s difficult to imagine she didn’t wonder “what if” in the following years, as she traded her dream in for an often turbulent – if loving – relationship.’
Friends is available to stream on Netflix, dominates Comedy Central and has now been snapped up by Channel 5.

Joe Garratt was dumped from Love Island earlier this week (Picture: ITV2)
Joe Garratt has spoken out about Amy Hart’s antics since departing the Love Island villa, describing how he ‘thought they got on’.
Amy frequently clashed with Lucie Donlan over her belief she was spending too much time with Joe or Tommy Fury, and prioritising them over the girls.
Since Joe was dumped from the show, he’s since addressed Amy’s antics which took place without him knowing.
Speaking to The Sun about Amy since leaving the villa, Joe said: ‘I thought we got on. If she’s gone back and said other things to other people that would be heartbreaking.’
Amy Hart is coupled up with Curtis Pritchard (Picture: ITV2)
In the final moments of last night’s episode, Curtis was seen staring at the new arrival in shock, pulling off his hat and sunglasses to stand there with his mouth open.
New girl Arabella is ready to cause a stir (Picture: ITV)
Some saw this moment as a look of fear and now think that Arabella has come to cause trouble for the loved-up dancer.
We’re pretty sure if this is right, that Curtis’s ‘half-girlfriend’ Amy Hart might have some thoughts and feelings on the whole thing.
Whatever their history is, we’re sure to find out the truth tonight as she gets to meet the rest of the islanders.
Naturally, fans were having feelings about the whole thing – mainly excitement about the upcoming drama.
If what everyone thinks is true, then Curtis will at least be in good company – considering that Lucie Donlan also has a connection with her.
Determined to ruffle some feathers either way, Arabella said before entering the villa that she had her eyes on the happily coupled up Michael Griffiths.
Arabella said: ‘If I’ve coupled up, it means I know what I want. Yes I have cheated and been cheated on. I’ve only ever been loyal in one relationship which was my last relationship.
‘In that relationship I would never look anywhere else. It all comes down to respect. When it’s on and off with someone, as it has been before, you never have that respect.’
Could she have been talking about Curtis?

The Rain will return for a third and final season (Picture: Netflix)
The Rain has been renewed for a third and final season, Netflix has announced.
The original Danish series takes place in a world brutalised by a virus carried in the rain, which has wiped out the majority of the Scandanavian population.
Two siblings, protected from the virus inside a bunker, emerge to find civilisation has crumbled – and join a group of survivors as they venture across the decimated landscape.
In a tweet posted on Wednesday (19 June), Netflix confirmed the show had been renewed for a third and final season to be released in 2020.
The show originally launched back in 2018 to positive critical reception, with a second season, consisting of six episodes, releasing this year.
The Rain is created by Jannik Tai Mosholt, Esben Toft Jacobsen, and Christian Potalivo, and stars Alba August, Mikkel Boe Folsgaard, Lucas Lynggaard, and Lars Simonsen.
It’s unclear when exactly the third season will land next year, but considering past seasons have both arrived in May – it’s likely the last will follow suit.
The Rain seasons one and two are available to stream on Netflix.
The 48-year-old actor, who played Jaime Lannister in the HBO franchise, is kissing goodbye to fantasy and throwing himself head first into brand new FX pilot Gone Hollywood.
Joining Nikolaj is fellow Thrones star Jonathan Pryce – aka the Lannisters sworn enemy The High Sparrow. Whether or not their rivalry will continue into this project so far remains to be seen.
Set in 1980, the series follows a team of agents who ditch their old-guard firm and found their own agency that skyrockets to industry dominance, disrupting the business and changing movies forever.
The synopsis teases that the show will mix its fictional protagonists with real-life entertainment figures and events.

Gone Hollywood also stars The Umbrella Academy’s John Magaro, Mozart In The Jungle’s Lola Kirke, A Beautiful Mind’s Judd Hirsch and Pride’s Ben Schnetzer.
The pilot will be written and directed by Ocean’s Eleven’s Ted Griffin, with School Of Rock’s Scott Rudin serving as executive producer.
It’s yet to be confirmed as to whether or not FX will decide to pick up the pilot for a full blown season.

Emilia Clarke is set to appear in two films by the end of this year – a rom-com, Last Christmas, which is based in London, and Above Suspicion, which tells the true and shocking love story on a scandal in the Appalachian mountains.
Meanwhile, Peter Dinklage is due to appear in crime drama The Thicket where he’ll be recruited by a man named Jack Parker to join a team trying to save his sister Lula from murderous bank robbers.
Game Of Thrones is available to stream on NOW TV.
