The latest series of Stranger Things may have only been out a matter of weeks but fans are already calling for another instalment.

The third season was released on 4 July and broke a Netflix record asthe most successful global launch of any film or series within the opening days.

Given that – and the fact 18.2 million people binged the latest series in its entirety within four days – it’s no surprise a fourth series is being demanded.

Warning: Contains spoilers for Stranger Things season three

Will there be a Stranger Things season four?

Stranger Things will definitely be returning for a fourth series, as confirmed by showrunner Shawn Levy earlier this year.

He said: ‘I mean I will say we have a good sense of stuff that happens in season four. Season four is definitely happening.

‘There’s very much the possibility of a season beyond that one, that’s currently undecided.’

While Levy has teased the possibility of continuation past four series, Stranger Things creators previously said the show would end at the fourth.

Back in 2017, Matt and Ross Duffer said: ‘We’re thinking it will be a four-season thing and then out.

‘We just have to keep adjusting the story. Though I don’t know if we can justify something bad happening to them once a year.

‘They’re going to have to get the f*** out of this town! It’s ridiculous!’

When will Stranger Things season four be released?

Stranger Things bosses nor Netflix have revealed any details surrounding the release of series four.

However if previous release dates were anything to go by, it could drop in October next year or the following.

What can we expect from Stranger Things season four?

The last season of Stranger Things left viewers with dozens of questions with the Byers family leaving Hawkins, Eleven in tow, following Hopper’s apparent death.

Eleven also appears to have lost her powers, the Soviets have seemingly kept a Demogorgon in captivity and there’s been mention of an ‘American’ – though the part they play is yet to be seen.

The Duffer brothers admitted while they don’t have any ideas set in stone, they do have ‘lots of broad strokes’ in terms of storylines, promising the fourth season would be different to those before it.

Ross told Entertainment Weekly: ‘We don’t want to write ourselves in a corner so we try to have these early discussions with the writers just to make sure that we’re setting ourselves up to go in the right direction.

‘We don’t know a lot, but we do know a lot of the big broad strokes. That’s sort of where we are in season four. It’s just now about filling in those lines in the details.

He added: ‘We’re pretty excited about where it’s potentially going to go. It’s going to feel very different than this season but I think that’s the right thing to do and I think it’ll be exciting.”

RuPaul’s Drag Race UK is shaping up to be even juicier than we could have possibly imagined with veteran reality TV judge Cheryl joining Mama Ru and Michelle Visage when the Brits take over.

The former Girls Aloud singer confirmed the mother of all news with a behind-the-scenes picture from her day judging the UK queens.

‘I am SO excited to tell you that I will be a guest judge on the first ever series of UK Drag Race!!!!! … I am such a huge fan of the show and cannot wait to watch our UK queens make their mark! Coming soon to @bbcthree .. Gentlemen Start your engines and may the best woman win,’ she enthused to her 3.6 million Instagram followers.

Oh, and RuPaul’s Drag Race UK also confirmed actual Twiggy – aka the original supermodel – will be coming along for a guest spot too.

Can I get an amen up in here?

RuPaul and Michelle Visage filmed the first ever UK series of Drag Race earlier this year with Graham Norton and Alan Carr confirmed as regular judges, alternating between them each week for reasons unbeknown to us other than there would be dangerous repercussions by having that much fabulousness in one room.

Alan recently told Metro.co.uk security measures have gone above and beyond to keep details of Drag Race under wraps, and if there’s any leaks you can blame Graham.

I can’t tell you, no phones allowed, people bringing your lunch in, I had to sign something to say I didn’t see someone have their eyes gouged out because they saw a dress, you think I’m joking. ‘I can’t tell you jack sh*t. I’m really struggling. All I can say is, “You will not be disappointed.” That’s all I can say.

‘Honestly, it was like Fort Knox.’

The likes of Andrew Garfield, Geri Horner and Maisie Williams will also help whittle those queens down to one eventual winner, while after years of fan campaigns, the ultimate ally Jade Thirlwall of Little Mix will be taking her rightful seat on the Drag Race panel.

RuPaul’s Drag Race UK launches on BBC Three later this year.

Love Island: Amber Gill’s mum wants her to forget Michael Griffiths just as he confesses he still has feelings for her

Amber Gill has had a turbulent couple of weeks on Love Island after she was cruelly dumped by Michael Griffiths for Joanna Chimonides and now her mum thinks she should forget about the firefighter once and for all.

Amber’s mum Vanessa Waugh appeared on This Morning today alongside Amber’s best friend Martin Tweedy and both are understandable, not the biggest fans of Michael.

‘It was hard watching last night seeing her crying on the settee after he had spoken with her,’ Vanessa said.

‘It’s just difficult because I know that she’s struggling with the whole situation, I just feel for her.’

She admitted she was shocked when Michael left the room during the discussion but relieved when he arrived back with tissues.

‘He redeemed himself a little bit,’ she added.

When asked if Michael genuinely means he’s finished with Amber, Vanessa said: ‘Yes. And I think Amber will realise that now and I don’t think she’ll go back with him – I hope she doesn’t.’

However, The Sun reports today that Michael has a U-turn on his feelings in tonight’s episode and admits he is jealous of Amber going on a date with new boy Greg O’Shea.

Viewers will get to see how the date goes tonight but the last thing we heard was the Limerick rugby player telling Amber she ‘deserves to be spoiled’.

We agree.

Vanessa previously admitted she was shattered after watching her daughter savagely dumped by Michael.

‘My daughter was at the centre of it all so it was her real emotions and feelings.’

‘It was heartbreaking,’ she told New Magazine.

This Morning airs on ITV weekdays at 10.30am and Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2.

Michael Griffiths will admit he still has feelings for Amber Gill on the next episode of Love Island, following their bust-up earlier this week.

The pair came to verbal blows when Michael told Amber to ‘sit down’, where the former explained how there was no chance he was going to get back together with her.

In an advert for the next episode, Michael pulls a complete U-turn and admits his feelings for Amber, and how he’s going to let her know.

Speaking in the clip, Michael says: ‘Now Joanna’s gone it’s given me time to think about things and I realise I do like Amber.

Will Michael and Amber get back together? (Picture: ITV2) 
‘I feel like I need to do myself a favour and let her know.’

Michael and Amber were coupled up on their arrival into the villa, but he later dumped her to pursue Joanna Chimonides.

Many viewers weren’t exactly convinced of his affection towards Joanna, especially after Michael’s heart-rate hit the roof following Amber’s routine in the lapdance challenge.

Joanna was dumped from the villa earlier this week, and spoke out about how she’s happy for Michael to pursue Amber if he pleases.

Speaking about her exit, Joanna said: ‘Part of me expected Michael to leave with me, however I don’t want to be in control of someone’s life journey.

‘If he wants to continue in the villa, to get to know someone else or see where things go, I’ve got to respect that.

‘It’s a bit disappointing but I’d never hold that against him.’

But will Amber take back Michael following all the drama? We’ll have to wait and see.

You can catch Love Island on ITV2 at 9pm.

Stranger Things: All the evidence major character is still alive after season 3 finale

Stranger Things
Hopper and Joyce’s friendship was explored in the third season (Picture: Netflix)

Warning: Contains spoilers for Stranger Things.

The third season of Stranger Things ended on a dramatic note as a major character was killed off, but mounting evidence suggests not all is what it seems.

In the final episode, Jim Hopper (David Harbour) was seemingly killed after sacrificing himself so Joyce Byers (Winona Ryder) could close the gate between the Upside Down and the real world.

But is Jim Hopper actually dead? There’s a growing amount of evidence, coupled with that post-credits scene, which indicates David Harbour’s character isn’t entirely a lost cause.

So if you’re clinging onto hope of Hopper’s safety, here’s all the evidence he could still be alive.

The post credits-scene

Is Jim Hopper still alive? (Picture: Netflix)

After the finale, a post-credits sequence set in Kamchatka, Russia, sees two Russian soldiers feed an imprisoned man to a Demogorgon. At the start, one of the soldiers goes to open a prison cell before he’s warned off, with the other exclaiming: ‘No, not the American.’

Many believe this mysterious American could be Hopper, who somehow made it out alive from the explosion and was captured by the Russians.

The most common theory is Hopper managed to jump into the Upside Down just before the explosion, and was subsequently found by the Russians as they conduct their own experiments.

The Duffer Brothers told us ‘not to assume anything’

Addressing speculation around Hopper’s fate, creators Matt and Ross Duffer have stated how they hoped the moment would lead viewers to question his fate.

‘You definitely shout not assume anything,’ Matt said. ‘The line that Russian guard said is purposely intended to spark debate. We need people to ask the very questions that you’re asking.

‘Assuming there’s a season 4 obviously the question of who that American is in that cell and then also what they’re doing with the Demogorgon, that is a tease.’

That strange mysterious phone number

Stranger Things Murray Bauman
Murray Bauman left a weird answer phone message (Picture: Netflix)

Fans discovered you can dial a number read aloud in the show’s third season which leads to a secret message from private investigator Murray Bauman (Brett Gelman).

If you call the number 618-625-8313, you’ll be greeted by Bauman’s answer phone, where he urges Joyce Byers to call him as soon as possible.

In the answer phone message, Bauman says: ‘If this is Joyce: Joyce, thank you for calling, I have been trying to reach you.

‘I have an update. It’s about… well, it’s probably best if we speak in person. It’s not good or bad, but it’s something.’

Could this be a hint Bauman has found clues to Hopper’s existence?

The finale song may have been a clue

Stranger Things season 3
Did the song choice have significance? (Picture: Netflix)

In the last episode, Peter Gabriel’s cover of David Bowie’s Heroes plays as the cast mourn Hopper’s death and prepare to leave Hawkins.

This song was also heard back in season one when police dragged a ‘dead’ Will Byers from the lake when he went missing – only for it to turn out the corpse wasn’t actually Will.

Is this a smart call back to a past misdirection?

David Harbour was sheepish on the matter

The actor himself was particularly slippery when addressing his future on the show.

Asked if Hopper is still alive, David said: ‘I have no idea! I mean that, of course, is my hope too.

‘It seems pretty crazy though. You know, that machine went off and blew up and Hopper seemed to be trapped there. He did glance around a little bit, but he seemed to be trapped and the machine exploded.’

He added: ‘I don’t know how [he’s alive] though. I mean, we should always hold onto hope. We should never let go of hope – but Barb is really dead.’

Suspicious? You’re not alone.

Stranger Things is available to stream on Netflix.

Love Island producers were forced to step in and tell the boys to stop masturbating in the shower.

According to a former star, who has not been named, one islander complained to the team after getting into the shower barefoot and ‘getting more than they bargained for’.

Staff told the boys to enjoy their alone time in the toilet instead.

‘The producers realise that all the boys – and the girls – have needs,’ the former islander told The Sun.

‘But some of the boys – who have been in the villa for several weeks – seemed to forget they were living in a shared environment and have been getting a little carried away when it comes to using some of the villa’s communal areas.

‘One of the islanders got more than they bargained for when they entered the bathroom without their shoes on. They complained to producers who quickly took action.

‘The boys have now been told to go about their business in the toilet.’

A Love Island spokesperson denied the claims.

It comes after dumped islander Elma Pazar claimed last month that contestants have been pleasuring themselves in the villa.

‘Im pretty sure they’ve all been ramping them out to be honest,’ she alleged to The Sun.

‘I’m not going to lie. They are in there a long time.’

Tuesday night’s episode saw three new bombshells, Harley Brash, Greg O’Shea and India Reynolds, enter the villa.

Harley chose Ovie Soko to take out on a date, and the pair tried to bond over Ovie’s love of basketball.

There are only two couples in a solid romantic relationship: Anna Vakili and Jordan Hames, and Tommy Fury and Molly-Mae Hague.

The single Pringles in the villa need to get their skates on, as there’s only 13 episodes left until the grand final on 29 July, as revealed by narrator Iain Stirling.

Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2.

The Starks may have been spotted in a look behind the scenes of the Game of Thrones prequel Bloodmoon production.

Spotted in Gaeta in Italy, photos of a boat displaying what appears to be an early form of the Stark direworlf sigil have been captured by GoT fan account, GoTlike Locations.

Cast and crew members were also spotted in costume filming at Grotta del Turco.

While the sigil differs slightly from the current Stark one as we know it from the series, this version is similar and could be an early iteration.

Bloodmoon is set thousands of years before the events that take place in the A Song of Ice and Fire series but author George RR Martin confirmed that the Starks and direwolves will be present.

GoTlike Locations tweeted: ‘Only shortly before sunset the prop boat came out of the grotto again to go back to the production’s second base in the port of Gaeta. This time the boat’s crew was in costume and the banner (which might be an early Stark one?) revealed. #Bloodmoon #Gaeta.’

A wolf or a panther? (Picture: Vanessa Redmond/@GoTlikeLocation)

However, not all are convinced that it could be the Stark banner with fans speculating on Twitter that is, in fact, a panther.

One wrote: ‘I don’t think we can assume this is connected to House Stark. The sigil looks more like a panther/large cat than a wolf.’

While another added: ‘Yall saying is a “cat, wolf, leopard, fox, etc” yall know nothing. It’s obviously a Panther. Look at the ears. Wolf’s only put their ears backwards when it’s scared. This is an obvious medieval interpretation of a panther.’

Panthers have not been prominent in the series or books in any regard, but one notable moment in the second book, A Clash of Kings, shows Arya Stark noticing a panther banner travelling with Tywin Lannister when he leaves Harrenhal.

House Lannister will not have been founded yet in Bloodmoon, but if one of Twyin’s bannerman has a panther sigil, perhaps it’s from an old house predating the Lannisters at Casterly Rock?

Whatever it turns out to be, we still have quite a wait before the series is released on HBO to find out for sure.

Bloodmoon is currently in production for HBO.

Little Mix have opened up about their X Factor days, and joked about looking ‘cheap and tacky.’

The four piece became the first girl band to win the show back in 2011, and went on to release their single Wings.

But despite their success, it seems the BFFs weren’t too keen on how they looked.

Talking about their style on This Morning, Perrie Edwards stated that they went from looking fresh faced, to wearing heavy makeup.

She said: ‘We went from really young fresh girls not really wearing much makeup, maybe a little foundation on the lip when it was in, to then being really heavy and looking way older.

‘We looked way beyond our years.’

Jesy Nelson agreed, adding: ‘We looked very cheap and tacky.’

Shocked at her pal’s statement, Perrie gasped: ‘Jess! It was the style back then. We just felt more secure with lots and lots of makeup on.

‘I do really just think that we’ve got better at knowing what we suit and we don’t feel the need to pile it on anymore.’

Leigh-Anne Pinnock went on to recall the time she refused to go to the supermarket because she was wearing no makeup.

‘Do you remember when we went to Asda all together and I wouldn’t get out of the car?’ she asked.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BmdnGw-lq_1/

Perrie replied: ‘Yes, I remember that. My mum dropped us there and she said, “Come on then girls” and Leigh-Anne said, “Um, I’m not going to get out of the car.”

‘Was it because you didn’t have any makeup on? As if anyone in there cares anyway… That was nuts! Barefaced beauty over here [to Leigh-Anne]!’

But it seems the girls have come a long way over the past eight years, with Perrie even showing off her scars and freckles on the gram.

Sharing a picture of herself with no makeup on, the 26-year-old told her 9.1million followers: ‘Growing up I was always insecure about the freckles on my face.

‘Over the last couple of years I’ve started to embrace them and don’t feel I need to hide them anymore.’

She added:‘“Embrace your individuality. Love what you love without worrying about judgement.”‘

Stranger Things cast member Brett Gelman thinks his character Murray Bauman would be down to storm Area 51 in September.

The United States Air Force base in the Nevada desert is shrouded in secrecy and so far, at the time of writing, 1.5million people have signed up to a supposedly joke event to gain entry to the site to find evidence of aliens.

The audacious plan has been scheduled for September 20, 2019 at 3am and is being organised through Facebook, with actor Brett sharing his thoughts on the mission during a question and answer session on Reddit.

Writing to Brett, one fan asked: ‘My question: what would Murray think of the Area 51 raid?’

Brett replied: ‘I think that he would be into finding out the truth. As long as no one was harmed in the process.’

It has long been rumoured that evidence of alien contact has been kept inside the classified remote part of the US Air Force’s Edwards Air Force Base.

Murray is a private detector who is hired by the Hollands in an attempt to track down their daughter Barb (Shannon Purser) after she goes missing in season one.

Talking about how it felt to be cast by Matt Duffer and Ross Duffer back in 2016, Brett recalled: ‘I freaked out.

‘And The Duffers and the cast are some of the most brilliant and incredible people I’ve ever worked with in my life. We have a really amazing collaboration.

‘I am so grateful for this character. The Duffers have written me something so brilliantly special.’

He added that he also bares some resemblance to his character, adding: ‘There are always similarities with characters, and then you have to always enter the mindset as well.’

Stranger Things 3 is currently streaming on Netflix.

Anita Dobson has recalled how watching Bohemian Rhapsody was a particularly emotional experience which left her in ‘shreds’.

The 70-year-old former EastEnders’ actress, who married Queen guitarist Brian May in 2000, appeared on Loose Women where she recalled the whirlwind success of biopic Bohemian Rhapsody starring Rami Malek as Freddie Mercury.

Asked if she visited the set, Anita said: ‘I did. It was amazing. I went on the very first day they started filming when they did the Live Aid scene, and it was extraordinary.

‘Rami [Malek], who plays Freddie, was amazing. From the moment they started recording he was Fred. For me it was very emotional.

‘The first time I saw a rough cut of the film I was in shreds at the end I had to leave and go and sit in the ladies for a while.’

Anita also praised Gwilym Lee’s portrayal of her husband, saying: ‘He was amazing. He got all of Brian’s little mannerisms and the way he holds his hand.’

Despite receiving mixed reviews from critics, Bohemian Rhapsody scored four awards at this year’s Oscars, including Best Actor for Rami Malek, Best Film Editing, Best Sound Editing and Best Sound Mixing.

The film’s success led Anita to make an appearance at this year’s Oscars ceremony, which was a particularly surreal experience.

‘Just amazing,’ Anita said. ‘I never thought in my little life I’d ever get to go to the Oscars.’

From secret S&M and heavy drinking to graphic puppet sex: Rainbow was not the kids TV show you thought it was behind-the-scenes

The old line up of the Television programme RAINBOW puppets ,Bungle (2nd left) Zippy (back right) and George (back left)
Kids’ TV show rainbow was best know for its three characters,Bungle, Zippy and George

Ronnie Le Drew, the puppeteer behind Zippy on classic kids’ TV show Rainbow, has revealed the lewd antics the cast got up to behind-the-scenes in a tell-all book.

Heavy drinking, rude pranks, sexism – what went on off camera was way less innocent than what happened on camera according to Le Drew in his memoir Zippy and Me.

Prepare to have your innocence shattered.

The team used to rearrange the show’s puppet characters in graphic sex positions, and one incident saw the archbishop witness ‘Zippy mounted upon George, going at it hammer and tongs’ while on a visit to the Thames Television studios.

Rainbow launched in 1972 and ran for 27 series and 1071 episodes before being cancelled in the 90s.

It featured puppets Zippy, a bear called Bungle and a pink hippo called George living together.

He claims in the book that star Jane Tucker used to wear a ‘leather S&M outfit’ under her coat and reveal it on set in rehearsal, earning her the nickname ‘Miss Whiplash’.

Tucker jokingly used to encourage Zippy to ‘play with my maracas’, and Zippy and George would be made to ‘pluck each other’s twangers’.

Le Drew also claimed the shows props man would make sexist comments about the director Pamela Lonsdale, referring to her as ‘T**salina’, and say she had a ‘nice pair of Bristols’.

There was also a culture of hard drinking on set as members of the cast would ‘get lashed’ and ‘stagger in’ to rehearsals drunk.

Things were so chaotic on set, Le Drew, reveals, that ‘our exasperated directors could often be heard shouting, “make them stop” from the control room.’

He also claims there were tensions among cast members as host Geoffrey Hayes feared ‘being upstaged by Zippy and George’.

Le Drew worked as a debt collector before taking over the Zippy role from Violet Philpott after she suffered a slipped disk.

Love Island’s Amber Gill cracks on with new boy Greg O’Shea after Michael Griffiths admits he still has feelings

Love Island’s Amber Gill is finally moving on from Michael Griffiths with new boy Greg O’Shea – despite him admitting that he still has feelings for her.

In scenes due to air tonight, the 20-year-old Newcastle lass goes on her first date with Greg in the Hideaway and he’s the complete gentleman.

‘I thought you deserved a date after all the drama that has been happening to you,’ he woos. ‘You deserve to be spoiled a bit.’

Talking about her rollercoaster relationship with Michael, Amber admits: ‘It’s been hard but I’m coming out the other end of it now and I feel happier.’

The newly introduced contestants then raise a glass, with Gregg proposing a toast to Amber being spoiled – honestly what a stand-up guy.

Amber seems keen on moving on with Greg too, but will her tendency to be a closed book stand in her way?

Speaking in the Beach Hut about her potential new love interest, she confesses: ‘I find it hard meeting new people so I kind of just want to be normal and it’s quite hard for me to do that when I just want to let my imagination run wild.’

Meanwhile, Michael reveals that he still has feelings for Amber in this evening’s offering – which could potentially throw a spanner in the works.

In a teaser for the next episode, he says: ‘Now Joanna’s gone it’s given me time to think about things and I realise I do like Amber.

‘I feel like I need to do myself a favour and let her know.’

Only time will tell whether Michael will dare to command Amber to ‘sit down’ for a chat once again.

Love Island airs tonight at 9pm on ITV2.

Steph McGovern throws support behind Naga Munchetty’s execution of Trump’s racist tweets as she’s told ‘to go home’

Steph McGovern has thrown her support behind Naga Munchetty after BBC Breakfast host threw out her script and laid into President Donald Trump and his racist tweets.

During today’s programme, the former Strictly Come Dancing star went off tangent as she expertly took down the commander-in-chief after he appeared to attack four Democratic congresswomen on Twitter, who spoke out against his immigration policies.

Known as the ‘Squad’, the four women are Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley and Rashida Tlaib.

Naga recalled her own experiences of being told to ‘go home’ in the UK to co-host Dan Walker.

‘Everytime I’ve been told as a woman of colour to “go home”, to “go back to where I’ve come from,” that was embedded in racism,’ Naga explained. ‘Now I’m not accusing anyone of anything here but you know what certain phrases mean.’

Responding to how she feels when it’s aimed at her, Naga fumed: ‘Furious. Absolutely furious and I can imagine lots of people in this country will be feeling absolutely furious a man in that position thinks it’s okay to skirt the lines by using language like that.’

Naga’s rant has subsequently gone viral, and now Steph – who announced she was expecting her first child over the weekend – shared the video on Twitter, pledging to back her colleague all the way.

And Steph’s fans were totally on board, assuring Naga that she is ‘home’.

In the original tweets, Trump wrote: ‘So interesting to see “Progressive” Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is run.

‘Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how it is done. These places need your help badly, you can’t leave fast enough.’

Trump has since hit back at claims the comments were racist, writing: ‘Those tweets were NOT Racist. I don’t have a Racist bone in my body!’

Ocasio-Cortez responded, writing: ‘You’re right, Mr. President – you don’t have a racist bone in your body.

‘You have a racist mind in your head, and a racist heart in your chest. That’s why you violate the rights of children and tell the Congresswoman who represents your home borough, to “go back to my country.”’

BBC Breakfast airs weekdays at 6am on BBC One.

Shailene Woodley has spilled a Big Little Lies spoiler ahead of the finale episode and it’s fair to say our interest is piqued.

The 27-year-old actress, who plays Jane in the HBO series, was speaking on Jimmy Kimmel Live where she dropped a cheeky ‘little bit of a nugget’ to get us psyched for the last episode of season two titled I Want to Know.

‘All of the women go to visit Perry’s grave,’ Shailene shared, adding: ‘And…his body’s missing!’

Big Little Lies season two kicked off at the beginning of June and has been centered around the fallout after Celeste’s (played by Nicole Kidman) abusive husband Perry (Alexander Skarsgård) plunged to his death at the end of the previous installment.

After learning what happens at the beginning of the series finale, Jimmy asked whether or not the show would be returning for a third offering, but Shailene didn’t confirm.

The Secret Life of the American Teenager star did admit though that she gets asked about the show all the time but has to stay schtum, telling Jimmy: ‘I have to say [to fans], “I can’t tell you.”

All the cast returned for the show’s second outing, including Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, Adam Scott, Zoe Kravitz, Laura Dern and Shailene along with newcomer Meryl Streep.

Big Little Lies season two has received similar critical acclaim and scored 96% on review aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes, despite concerns over it going beyond the original source material by Liane Moriarty.

The offering fell short at this year’s Emmy awards though as it was ineligible due to its June start date.

Big Little Lies season two airs Mondays on Sky Atlantic with episodes available on NOW TV.

In a dramatic U-turn, tonight’s Love Island sees Michael Griffiths admit he still has feelings for Amber Gill despite treating her horribly for the last week or so.

And while Amber gets ‘spoiled’ on a date with new boy Greg O’Shea, Michael realises he wants to tell Amber how he actually feels.

In the first look at tonight’s instalment, Ovie Soko offers Michael some wise words about his situation.

What a guy.

In scenes due to air tonight, Michael says to the basketball player: ‘That was weird last night, in a sense, it just felt normal again.’

Imparting his wisdom on the firefighter, Ovie says: ‘One thing I will say is, don’t let your pride, that is such a huge strength, hurt you.’

He adds: ‘Don’t hurt yourself no more because if anything, that will make you more frustrated.’

Michael also speaks with Belle Hassan about Joanna. Belle says to Michael: ‘I don’t know if she’ll wait for you. I don’t know if she’ll be interested now, because you didn’t leave with her.’

Later that evening, Michael speaks with the boys at the fire pit and says: ‘Now that Joanna has gone, it has given me time to think about things. I’m not saying I don’t like Joanna, because I do.

Cheryl will sit alongside Mama Ru and Michelle Visage on RuPaul’s Drag Race UK when it drops later in 2019 but has admitted she was left ‘starstruck’ by the moment.

Yep, even Chezza still gets nervous around her faves.

The former Girls Aloud singer confirmed the mother of all news with a behind-the-scenes picture from her day judging the UK queens and told Metro.co.uk that her days on the set of the award-winning competition programme were not only ‘brilliant’ but left her gagging.

We get it.

‘I was starstruck recently by RuPaul,’ she said. ‘I did the UK version of Drag Race. It was brilliant, I was thoroughly entertained the whole time but I was so starstruck by Ru, I find him utterly fascinating.

‘I had the best time.’

Can we get amen up in here?

Cheryl

RuPaul and Michelle Visage filmed the first ever UK series of Drag Race earlier this year with Graham Norton and Alan Carr confirmed as regular judges.

The pair will alternate weekly for reasons unbeknownst to us other than there would assuredly be dangerous repercussions by having that much fabulousness in one room.

Alan recently told Metro.co.uk security measures have gone above and beyond to keep details of Drag Race under wraps, and if there’s any leaks you can blame Graham.

The likes of Andrew Garfield, Geri Horner and Maisie Williams will also help whittle those queens down to one eventual winner, while after years of fan campaigns, the ultimate ally Jade Thirlwall of Little Mix will be taking her rightful seat on the Drag Race panel.

Jade has never been shy about her love of the art of drag, so she was already a dead cert by fans to make an appearance as the competition made its way over to UK waters.

Speaking about her involvement, she said: ‘I love absolutely everything about drag. I love that it’s art. I love how fabulous it is, how fun it is, I love that you can transform your body into a fantastic beautiful woman… the whole thing!

‘I just wish in my next life I can be a drag queen.’

Love Island’s Maura Higgins has revealed she might be attempting to make beau Curtis Pritchard jealous as she enjoys a date with new boy Greg O’Shea.

We’re getting serious whiplash over here.

The Irish grid girl, who recently cracked on with the dancer after he chose her over bombshell Francesca Allen, will be chosen for a date in tonight’s episode and, as we’ve come to realise, anything could happen.

‘It’s kind of good in a way because Curtis might get a bit jealous! I’m glad none of the girls are taking Curtis on a date,’ the islander reflects.

However, with Greg asking if Maura thinks Curtis’ head could get turned again, it’s clear she’s as clueless as the rest of us.

‘Anything could happen. I’d hope it wouldn’t but I can’t really call it,’ she admits.

Uh oh.

Meanwhile, the nation is set to have their hearts melted as new girl India ‘saves the day’ by taking Ovie on a date.

‘Obviously, you’re very good looking. Body of a god! You’ve got the height and you’re funny,’ she tells him.

Ovie replies: ‘I’m glad you picked me. You came to save the day!’

We stan.

Elsewhere, amid all the drama with Michael Griffiths and Amber Gill, he’s set to be whisked off on a date with Harley Brash.

‘It’s nice to be asked on a date by a very pretty girl. It doesn’t happen every day,’ the firefighter told her.

With Amber, then Joanna and now Harley, it kind of seems like it does for him.

While viewers are all in for Maura and Curtis after a moment of being a bit baffled by the pairing, her best friend recently slammed the dancer, branding him ‘not good enough.’

Ouch.

Her pal Laura Fox, who she has been friends with since they met at a beauty pageant in 2014, told New magazine that she doesn’t think their coupling up is ‘genuine’.

‘Maybe she’s just looking at the selection right now and thinking that Curtis is the right one out of everyone there, but I still think her Prince Charming is on the way,’ she said.

‘I don’t know if I’m buying it. She deserved someone who is going to be good fun – and I don’t think that is Curtis.’

The plot thickens.

Daniel Radcliffe discovers he bears a striking resemblance to his great great grandfather in his upcoming episode of Who Do You Think You Are? as he embarks on a journey to discover his roots.

At the beginning of his quest, the 29-year-old Harry Potter actor drops by to see a relative to see whether they can assist him with learning about his great great grandfather Louis Gershon.

As he seeks more information, his family member pulls out a portrait of Louis and is stunned to see how similar they look, telling Daniel: ‘Now if you look at Louis Gershon and you look at Daniel Radcliffe, there is not much difference.’

‘That’s not a million miles away,’ Daniel says in agreement, not long before finding that Louis was a victim do a Hatton Garden robbery.

‘You look more like him than I do and I’m named after him,’ the relative quips in disbelief. ‘Look at you, it’s the same face.’

Taking a closer inspection, Daniel comments: ‘That’s incredible. I mean around the eyes and the eyebrows, that’s where I get them from.

‘That’s really remarkable.’

If only if he didn’t have all that facial hair, eh?

Later on in the episode, Daniel discovers that Louis’ Hatton Garden jewellery shop was robbed of £250,000.

The stolen goods was investigated by the police, however because there was no sign of breaking and entering, no crime was ever recorded.

Instead, it was concluded that Daniel’s great grandfather, who took his own life following the event, had made a ‘bogus’ report in a bid ‘put forward for a fraudulent insurance claim.’

Who Do You Think You Are? begins Monday 22 July at 9pm on BBC One.
