Game of Thrones veteran Peter Dinklage broke the no-swearing rule during his Emmys speech and has absolutely no regrets about it.

The 50-year-old actor was accepting the award for Supporting Actor in a Drama Series on Sunday night when the expletive casually slipped out.

‘I have no idea what I’m about to say, but here we go,’ he started his acceptance speech. ‘I count myself so fortunate to be a member of a community that is all about tolerance and diversity, because no other place could I be standing on a stage like this.

‘It’s been about 10 years, all said and done, since the moment I met [GoT co-creators] Dave [Benioff] and Dan [Weiss] until right now. I had no idea what I was getting myself into, but I knew that David and Dan were quite brilliant.’

Then came the swear: ’10 years of absolute sweat, but 10 years of the most incredible, talented, funniest motherf***ing people I’ve ever been lucky enough to work with.’

Peter pauses as the audience laugh at the swear word, to which he lightheartedly adds: ‘Hey, it’s over, I don’t care.’

He ended his speech by saying he would do it all again ‘in a heartbeat’.

Peter played the role of Tyrion Lannister in Game of Thrones, alongside onscreen siblings Lena Headey and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau.

The acclaimed actor made history at the 2019 Emmys for the most number of Supporting actor wins, claiming his fourth in total.

In his win, he beat his fellow Game Of Thrones stars Alfie Allen (Theon Greyjoy) and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister), as well as Better Call Saul’s Jonathan Banks and Giancarlo Esposito, Michael Kelly from House Of Cards, and Chris Sullivan from This Is Us.

Game Of Thrones also picked up the Emmy for Outstanding Drama Series, as well as 10 awards at the Creative Arts Emmys last week.

Strictly Come Dancing’s annual Blackpool show is going to have its security upped to the hilt after a string of threats against this year’s stars.

Worried bosses are reportedly wanting to leave no stone unturned as the pros come become targets of yobs who attack them in public.

In the past year alone, Giovanni Pernice and AJ Pritchard have been attacked in nightclubs and on the street.

Giovanni was mobbed at the beginning of this month, being sprayed with a ‘noxious substance’ by men on mopeds who then mugged him.

At the turn of the new year, AJ and brother, Love Island’s Curtis Pritchard, were in a nightclub brawl that resulted in Curtis needing surgery on his leg.

After a new bout of ‘sinister’ threats on the class of 2019, plans are being put in place to keep the team safe at the historic dance hall.

They fear that having them away from the Elstree Studios, where the show is usually shot, could create a bigger risk as there’s more elements out of control.

‘For this year’s Blackpool trip, the producers are taking no risks,’ a source told The Sun. ‘Everyone will be briefed on how to protect themselves.’

The worries come after a previous incident at the seaside resort where Gorka Marquez, was jumped outside a nightclub, losing teeth as a result.

In November 2016, it was reported that Gorka, who is now a dad to baby girl Mia with Gemma Atkinson, was out with fellow pros Aljaž Škorjanec and Neil Jones when he was targeted.

Metro.co.uk has contacted reps for comment.

In the meantime, it’s business as usual for the gang, with the first live show promising one of the closest competitions in Strictly history.

Kelvin Fletcher topped the leaderboard (and then quickly went viral) after performing a sensual samba with Oti Mabuse.

James Cracknell fell to the bottom of the board with the fewest points, however no one was sent home as is tradition for the series.

The first dance off and elimination begins next week.

Strictly Come Dancing continues Saturday at 7pm on BBC One.

Game Of Thrones had been set for a big night at the 71st annual Emmy Awards after picking up a record number of nominations this year.

The show, which came to an end after eight seasons earlier this year, had no less than 32 nods in seven different categories – with stars including Sophie Turner, Kit Harington and Emilia Clarke among those picking up nods.

But in a night which was dominated by Fleabag and also saw big wins for the likes of Killing Eve, Chernobyl and The Marvellous Mrs Maisel, just how many of its nominations resulted in wins?

Here’s how the GoT contingent got on…

How many awards did Game of Thrones win at the Emmys?

Despite heading into the ceremony with so many nominations, Game Of Thrones went home with just two awards on the night.

However they were two big prizes, with the show picking up best drama series, while Peter Dinklage once again won best supporting actor for his role as Tyrion Lannister.

The latter win was pretty significant, as it’s the fourth time he’s won an Emmy for playing Tyrion – setting a record for the most number of supporting actor wins ever.

He also went on to break the ceremony’s ‘no swearing’ rule in his acceptance speech, saying: ’10 years of absolute sweat, but 10 years of the most incredible, talented, funniest motherf*****s.’

Knowing he would get in trouble, he declared: ‘Hey, it’s over. I don’t care!’ before adding: ‘It’s been about 10 years, all said and done, from the moment I met [series creators] David [Benoiff] and Dan [Weiss] till now. I had no idea what I was getting myself into, but I knew that David and Dan were quite brilliant.

‘We did nothing but sweat, we did nothing but laugh. Dave and Dan, we literally walked through fire and ice for you—literally—and I would do it all again in a heartbeat.’

Which other acting nominations did Game Of Thrones receive?

Other cast members nominated on the night included Sophie Turner, Lena Headey, Maisie Williams and Gwendoline Christie for best supporting actress in a drama, while Alfie Allen and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau were nominated for best supporting actor in a drama.

Meanwhile Emilia Clarke was in the running for best actress in a drama – losing to Jodie Comer in Killing Eve – and Kit Harington was nominated for best actor in a drama series.

We’re not sure what our favourite part of awards ceremonies are – actually finding out who won or seeing all the fun photos posted by the cast of our favourite shows behind-the-scenes.

The latest snaps posted by the Game of Thrones cast at last night’s Emmys are making us lean towards the latter.

The GOT cast came out with two big trophies at last night’s awards, having received an impressive thirty-two nominations overall and celebrated their win by reuniting backstage for a selfie to celebrate their win.

But, if you’re looking at the photo and thinking something’s not quite right, you’d be correct. Kit Harington, who plays Jon Snow in the HBO series, doesn’t appear to be in the photo.

It’s not too clear why, as he was present at the awards and got up on stage with the rest of the cast and crew to collect their award for Outstanding Drama Series, but hey, maybe he got hungry and needed a snack, to which we say, absolutely fair enough.

Alfie Allen, who plays Theon Greyjoy, also posted a cute selfie with Maisie Williams doing a ‘peace sign’ in the theatre before the show began as well as a photo of the cast and crew together with the caption ‘FAM. I <3 these lot so much’.

Due to the show broadcasting its eighth and final season earlier this year – and getting mixed reviews from fans – this will be the final time the show will be able to be nominated for any awards at the ceremony, so it’s unlikely we’ll see too many photos of the entire cast at awards shows together from here on out. Sad face.

The other top award on the night went to Peter Dinklage, who won his fourth Emmy Award for playing the role of Tyrion Lannister in the cult show. Kit and Emilia Clarke, who plays Daenerys Targaryen, both narrowly missed out on lead actor and lead actress in a drama series respectively.

Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark), who also enjoyed a cute reunion with former on-screen sort-of-brother Kit inside the Microsoft Theatre in LA, and Maisie Williams (Arya Stark) were also nominated for their supporting roles in the series.

Game Of Thrones earlier also took home 10 awards at the Creative Arts Emmys last week, including a gong for outstanding special visual effects, outstanding main title design and outstanding casting for a drama series.

After Corey Gamble and Scott Disick got into a heated argument over spanking his kids, Kourtney Kardashian has revealed Kris Jenner’s partner will never be allowed near her children alone.

The latest episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians saw Corey, who has been dating the matriarch of the family since 2014, go head to head with Scott over the three children he shares with former partner Kourtney.

Both men came to blows over how to discipline Scott and Kourtney’s daughter Penelope during a family dinner at Nobu.

And boy things were mighty heated, as Kim Kardashian and Jonathan Cheban watched on in shock.

As Kourt revealed she no longer had a nanny for seven-year-old Penelope after she apparently scratched and bit her, Corey, who has no children, chimed in on what he thought needed to be done to discipline the child.

After Kourtney admitted she could be ‘out of control’, Corey asked if they felt it appropriate to smack her.

40-year-old Kourtney disagreed smacking was the answer, as she said: ‘No, but you could also say something to her, in the moment.’

Kris was insisting they had to take care of the situation, stressing to her daughter she wasn’t taking it as seriously as she should – seeing as a scratched nanny was not a light complaint.

Corey wasn’t having it, as he said: ‘If P scratch me, I’m whipping her a**.’

Perhaps not surprisingly, Scott didn’t take too kindly to those words about his kid, as he hit back: ‘My daughter? My little daughter?!’

His adversary was not stepping down, though, as Corey said a ‘whippin’ is that discipline!’

Scott yelled over the table: ‘Don’t ever talk about a child like that!’ as Corey, equally as enraged, replied: ‘Motherf**ker, what you talking about?!’

As Corey continued to try and state his case, Scott continued to yell ‘STOP IT!’ across the table, as fellow diners started to realise this wasn’t a calm conversation.

As he stood up to leave from the table, Scott yelled for Corey to ‘get the f**k outta here’ as tension brewed, and Kim calmly said as she forked her cake: ‘I don’t think he’s meaning, like, beat her.’

Seemingly sticking to his guns, Corey said: ‘If your kid scratched me in the face, you don’t think they deserve to be popped?’

Kourtney continued to disagree as Kris tried to cool the place down and insisted Corey didn’t mean his comments and wouldn’t harm Penelope.

Darn tootin’ he wouldn’t, as Kourtney said: ‘Because he will never be with my kids alone and if he does that in front of any of us there will be a f**king issue!’

Later on the anger was still very much there, as Kourtney and Corey tried to talk it out, with the entrepreneur admitting they’ll never agree on the way to discipline a child.

‘We are never going to agree,’ she said, however she then added she didn’t want to stop bringing her kids to their grandma’s house out of fear Corey would discipline them.

Saying he would never touch them, Corey added: ‘I understand how Kourtney and Scott feel but I can say what I want to say because that’s my opinion.’

What is this family like, eh?

Jodie Comer and Sandra Oh react after Jodie’s named was called out (Picture: Kevin Winter/Getty Images)

We’re already huge fans of the both of them but Jodie Comer has said she feels ‘very, very grateful’ of her co-star Sandra Oh.

The 26-year-old beat her Killing Eve co-star to the award of Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series at the Emmys on Sunday for playing murderous assassin Villanelle in the series, but said that she doesn’t think the show would have been as ‘humongous’ as it is without her friend.

Asked what she whispered to Sandra on her way to stage to collect her award yesterday, she said: ‘I think I said I loved her and I appreciated her.

‘Because honestly, this whole experience we’ve gone through together.

‘We believed in the show, but we had no idea how humongous it was going to turn out to be. And to kind of have gone through it with her, she’s been extremely generous on the screen, so I’m very, very grateful of her.’

The actress also paid tribute to writer Phoebe Waller-Bridge, who won four awards for Fleabag at the ceremony and also wrote the first series Eve, which premiered in 2018.

Jodie explained: ‘I knew [‘Killing Eve’] was special because of Phoebe. Phoebe is so, so incredible. But it is crazy. I never dreamed that I would be in this position at all.

‘I don’t know [where I’ll put my Emmy]. I’m going to have to keep her safe… can’t lose her!’

As well as Sandra, Jodie was nominated for her award alongside Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones), Viola Davis (How to Get Away With Murder), Laura Linney (Ozark), Mandy Moore (This is Us) and Robin Wright (‘House of Cards’) and said wasn’t expecting to win when she was up against so many ‘phenomenal’ actresses.

She told Entertainment Tonight: ‘I just didn’t expect it. The women in that category are so phenomenal, and I felt very lucky to be there and be here.’

Jodie admitted in her acceptance speech that she hadn’t invited her parents to the ceremony because she hadn’t expected to win, but after accepting her prize, she called them in the UK and they are ‘extremely proud’ of her.

She said: ‘I kind of was just like, “Oh guys, this isn’t the time. I don’t want you to come and get your hopes up.’

‘I just spoke to them. They just said they love me and they were extremely proud of me. So, that was nice.

She jokingly added: ‘It’s also, like, 6 a.m. or something in the UK, so they’re probably so drunk right now. There wasn’t much stringing of sentences together.’

Countdown has entertained us at teatime for 27 years, delighting us with new knowledge and titbits of trivia as we enjoy tea and a biscuit.

But despite being the favourite of your nan, we all know it’s total filth – and Rachel Riley is well aware too.

The maths whizz has joked about the smutty words that sometimes end up on her board, after it was noticed that the level of naughty words popping up over the past year has gone up.

Journalist Scott Bryan shared a compilation of some of Rachel’s funniest moments, where she picked out ‘nude’, ‘semis’ and ‘git’ from the vowels and consonants, and had to spell out ‘orgasmic’, ‘erection’, ‘horniest’, ‘perverts’ and even ‘fannies’.

Scott asked: ‘All of these rude words have appeared on Countdown in the last year. What on earth is going on over there?’ but Rachel doesn’t seem to want any attention drawn to it.

The 33-year-old tweeted: ‘Shhhh! I know we’re total filth but we’ve been getting away with it this whole time!

The star, who is expecting her first child with husband Pasha Kovalev, seems rather proud of the innuendos though.

Celebratory 10 years of rude @C4Countdown words as promised!
Do with them, what you will! 😇🙀😂 pic.twitter.com/0Mseg5jPLp

Back in January, the clever clogs shared an assortment for her favourite rude words on the board to mark her 10th anniversary on the show, writing: Celebratory 10 years of rude @C4Countdown words as promised! Do with them, what you will.’

And in 2017, Rachel told the Express: ‘Most of them are well-documented online but some one of the funny ones for me are growlers because it’s perfectly innocent and you can get a definition of a bear.

‘But then when Nick repeats it over and over and over, I’m sure the younger viewers – teenagers – might know something else quite funny. They’re the ones that get me.’

Rachel joined Countdown in 2009, with the Channel 4 show being hosted by Nick Hewer since 2012 – and of course, they’re both usually joined by legendary lexicographer Susie Dent.

Countdown was hosted by Richard Whiteley until 2005 when he passed away aged 61, with Des Lynam, Des O’Connor and Jeff Stelling all being at the helm.

Kelvin Fletcher was a last-minute addition to the Strictly Come Dancing 2019 line-up, but now he’s the hot favourite to take home the glitterball after setting a new betting record.

The ex-Emmerdale star soared to the top of the leaderboard this weekend with a sexy samba alongside dance partner Oti Mabuse.

Scoring 32 out of 40 in week one with their performance to La Vida Es Un Carnaval, bookmakers Ladbrokes have revealed that a flurry of interest has now made him an odds on favourite to win.

Alex Apati of Ladbrokes confirmed the news and said: ‘There’s a long way to go in this series but someone will have to pull something pretty spectacular out of the bag if they’re to pip record-breaking Kelvin Fletcher to the post.’

Slashing his odds from 6/1 to 11/8, the other 13 contestants are left lagging behind with Karim Zeroual next up on 4/1.

James Cracknell has the lowest odds of winning at 100/1, with David James and Anneka Rice not too far behind and both at 66/1.

The revelation matches the currently leaderboard, which sees Kelvin and James on the top and bottom of the list respectively.

But there’s still time for that to change with the upcoming week’s competition, when the first dance off and elimination will take place.

The first live show on Saturday promised one of the closest competitions in Strictly history, after all.

While Kelvin was riding high in the competition, his wife Eliza is making sure he’s being kept grounded and mocked him online for only shaving one leg ahead of his debut. 

But she also hared a sweet message of support for her husband as he prepared to take to the Strictly dancefloor.

Alongside a selfie of them together, Eliza wrote: ‘I’ve spent a lifetime watching you on dance floors at 3am, usually half naked!’

The next morning, she filmed herself as she asked him: ‘How do you feel, darling?’

He responded: ‘Good. Can’t quite believe what happened last night. Did the judges watch the same dance that I did? Because it didn’t feel like it.’

Strictly Come Dancing continues Saturday at 7pm on BBC One.

Amid the continued chatter about the Gavin And Stacey Christmas Special, Larry Lamb has revealed he was getting really sick of being asked whether it was making a comeback.

Now, of course, we know that it indeed is, but before James Corden confirmed the news earlier this year Larry was tempted to get a tattoo proclaiming he didn’t know if it would be rebooted.

That’s how far the man was willing to go, it seems.

The 71-year-old actor – who plays Mick Shipman on the beloved show – became so ‘frustrated’ about being asked if the sitcom was ever going to make a comeback that he considered an inking, so he was relieved when a Christmas special was finally confirmed.

‘I was really getting to the point, it was so frustrating, I was going to have a roll-on tattoo that just went across my forehead and said, “Sorry, I don’t know. Don’t ask”,’ he said.

‘But now I do know.’

The former EastEnders star wasn’t sure what to expect from the special’s script (um, winning quips for one, that’s easy), but as soon as he started reading the opening lines he realised co-writers James and Ruth Jones had ‘done it’.

He added to Lorraine: ‘When you read a script that’s just completely new to you you’re looking for so much in it, but when you’re looking at something that’s like a reflection of a major part of your life you don’t know how they’re going to deal with it.

‘You open at page one and you think, “Right.” As an actor after all these years you become an instant critic of everything you’re reading.

Rehearsals! pic.twitter.com/NS2ELAYXW1

‘I just realised straight away, “This is it, they’ve done it. There’s no way you’re going to be frightened about anything.” I just flipped over, 10 years later and there you go, you’re in. It was extraordinary.’

Well count us mighty excited for the upcoming instalment, which will air on Christmas Day.

Larry himself knows it’s going to go down a treat with fans of the show, as he said: ‘There’s millions of people out there who are not going to be disappointed. There are some scenes in that I tell you.

‘It’s going to be a rocking Christmas night.’

The Gavin And Stacey Christmas special will air on Christmas Day on BBC One.

Loose Women fans hoping to see the panel on TV today will be disappointed, as the show has been cancelled.

Just like This Morning with Holly Willoughby and Philip Schofield, the show will not air today as normal because there has been a change in ITV’s usual television schedule.

So why isn’t the show on today and when is it back?

Why isn’t Loose Women on today?

Loose Women isn’t on today because ITV have changed their normal scheduling in order to air the Rugby World Cup in Tokyo.

Wales take on Georgia in the rugby tournament today and due to the time difference between Japan and the UK, the coverage for the game begins at 10.25am GMT, so the match with air right over when Loose Women is normally on.

The Loose Women ladies will return to our screens as normal again tomorrow, Tuesday September 24.

When does the Rugby World Cup finish?

The Rugby World Cup finishes on Saturday November 2 2019, which is when the final match of the tournament will be played at the International Stadium Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture in Yokohama city, Japan.

ITV will be broadcasting the final, which will begin at 9am GMT.

Loose Women continues on Tuesday September 24, at 12.30am, on ITV.

Craig Mazin, creator of Emmy-award winning show Chernobyl, revealed what he *really* thought of the original pilot episode of Game of Thrones.

He was one of the few people who saw the original pilot, but he wasn’t exactly singing the show’s praises after walking out of the preview screening.

Fielding questions after the Emmy awards show, he said: ‘I didn’t say [the original pilot episode was a] piece of s**t – what I said was they had a massive problem.’

After exchanging an eyebrow-raising look with GoT exec producer Carolyn Strauss, Craig then quickly began raving about the show’s extensive reshooting.

‘They had a massive problem [and] they fixed it,’ he clarified.

‘It was one of the most amazing moments of my life – just watching something that I thought was irreparably damaged and then seeing the new episode.’

‘I was flabbergasted. It wasn’t just that something had gone from troubled to ok, [it was] something that had gone from troubled to mind-blowingly good.’

‘It’s the most remarkable turnaround in Hollywood history. It became, rightfully so, a legend of television. I’ve watched every second of it,’ he said.

The reporter on Sunday night asked Craig the question about the pilot episode’s transformation after he previously revealed similar thoughts in 2016.

According to Vanity Fair, creator Dave Benioff said: ‘None of [our friends] realized that Jaime and Cersei were brother and sister, which is a major, major plot point that we had somehow failed to establish.’

After taking notes from Craig and some other close friends, Benioff stated: ‘I just remembered writing in all caps, “MASSIVE PROBLEM,” and it’s all I could think about the rest of the night. Craig didn’t really have any great ideas except that he said “change everything.”‘

As a result of that showing, Benioff and co-creator Dan Weiss reportedly changed more than 90% of the pilot, resulting in the first episode we know today.

Game of Thrones picked up two Emmy awards on Sunday night, including Outstanding Drama Series and Peter Dinklage for Supporting Actor, as well as 10 awards at the Creative Arts Emmys last week.

Chernobyl picked up three awards at this year’s Emmys – Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Movie, Outstanding Limited Series and Writing for a Limited Series or TV Movie.

The story focusses on the catastrophic Chernobyl nuclear accident in 1986.

Craig confirmed the five-part TV series will not be getting a second season, despite Sunday night’s Emmys success.

He said: ‘We will not be doing that.’

‘We told a story of a place in time and we did it pretty darn well, and it’s time to start thinking about other places and other times.

‘Whatever we look at, whether it’s fiction or based on history, it’s relevant to who we are now and what we’re facing,’ he said.

This Morning viewers have had to go without their daily fix of Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield today and fans are not too happy about it.

Due to the Rugby World Cup being aired on ITV, both This Morning and Loose Women have been axed for today, and also for this upcoming Thursday.

But those not in the know were baffled when they tuned in to their fave morning magazine show to see a men tackling each other to the ground instead.

They weren’t interested in seeing the game, as they were hoping Phil and Holly would get an ex-PM to swear on live telly again.

How else are we meant to get the salacious gossip from our fave 70s musicals? Or debate with a morris dancer who wears blackface but doesn’t think it’s racist?

The show has also recently covered the more hard-hitting, but life-changing emotional stories such as Gareth Thomas coming forward to discuss his HIV diagnosis.

The show did try to fill in the gaps with a Facebook and Twitter Q+A on the Thomas Cook emergency, with experts on hand to help those whose holidays were ruined as a result.

But naturally, it’s no Holly and Phil, viewers were upset, and they shared their annoyance on Twitter.

Today Wales is taking part in their first game of the worldwide competition, being held this year in Tokyo, Japan.

As a result there have been a number of changes on the ITV schedule, who has the rights to screen the competition over here in the UK.

Holly and Phil will be back on our screens before we know it, but will only been seen on the show twice this week – tomorrow and Wednesday.

This Morning returns tomorrow at 10.30am on ITV.

Zoe Ball’s son Woody is going to compete on The Circle in an attempt to win £100,000 – but his parents have already told him to watch what he says on the show.

The Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two presenter and her DJ ex-husband Fatboy Slim – whose real name is Norman Cook – have given their 18-year-old some advice as he prepares to compete for the pretty impressive amount on prize money on the second series of the reality show.

Woody told the Daily Star: ‘My parents do know I’m doing the show and they are supportive. They have given me a lot to think about from past experiences and advice.

‘They said that what you say on TV is out there forever and you can’t unsay it and that once you share too much you never unshare it.’

The Circle is based around a reality setting where each contestant lives alone in an apartment and can only communicate with each other via The Circle, a social media-type chat system, in a bid to become the most popular person and win £100,000.

Former Big Brother presenter Emma Willis is set to host the show, and the 43-year-old star admitted the programme is perhaps not as naughty as Big Brother because the contestants don’t meet face to face.

She explained: ‘It is PG. But there are certain conversations that might happen that I wouldn’t want my 10 year old to be watching! She probably needs to be a little bit older for this.

‘What’s brilliant to watch is seeing if people go in with one objective and that is to win the money and then does their conscience kick in?

‘Are they’re like, “I literally can’t do this, I’m lying to them and I can’t do this anymore.” Then they might switch again and remember it’s for a hundred grand.

‘It’s for the money that, to an extent, drives that decision. It’s like Big Brother in the sense you can go in thinking, “I can do this, I can win this money.”‘

Schitt’s Creek’s Dan Levy has admitted he hopes to work with the cast again as he prepares to say goodbye to the sitcom at the end of season 6 – and that could mean a spin-off.

The actor, who created the show as well as starring as the eternally flamboyant David Rose, appeared on the Emmys red carpet after the show was given three nominations with the rest of the cast on Sunday night.

Dan, who originally came into the spotlight as an entertainment host, spoke to ET Canada on the carpet, and admitted that the show had already finished filming, with the final product not too far away.

He told the host: ‘It’s all done. It’s all put to bed, I know exactly how it ends, and I’m happy with it. I

‘We’ll cross our fingers when it comes out next year, but I feel like we really tried to honour the show and the fans,’ he added.

When quizzed about a spin-off, he teased: ‘I have absolutely no idea to be perfectly honest. I am about to wrap our post-production on our last season, and then the world is my oyster and we’ll see what I can shuck from it!’

‘I would love to work with our entire cast,’ he later added. ‘I want to make another show that I can just hire them all on and then just do it again just a different place and different people.’

We would pay some serious money for a full season of A Little Bit Alexis, we’re just saying. Or even having Moira Rose saying Bebe on repeat for days.

Dan stars on the show alongside father Eugene Levy, who plays on-screen dad David Rose, Catherine O’Hara, who plays mum Moira, and Annie Murphy, who plays socialite sister Alexis.

Catherine and Eugene’s appearance on the carpet marked the 37th year since they last won an Emmy together, taking home Outstanding Writing in a Variety or Music Show back in 1982 as part of the team for SCTV.

Schitt’s Creek follows the story of a multi-millionaire family who are forced to move to a rural town they’d bought as a joke after an accountant fleeces them of all their money.

It’s been widely praised for its LGBT representation, with Dan’s character David coming out as pansexual using a quite frankly genius analogy involving drinking wine.

He’s since been seen in an accidental throuple, as well as male and female relationships.

However, in March this year Dan announced that the upcoming sixth season of the meme-creating series will be its last.

In an Instagram statement, he said: ‘We are so grateful to have been given the time and creative freedom to tell this story in its totality, concluding with a final chapter that we had envisioned from the very beginning.

‘It’s not lost on us what a rare privilege it is in this industry to get to decide when your show should take its final bow.

‘We could never have dreamed that out fans would grow to love and care about these characters in the ways that you have.’

The upcoming season six will run for 14 episodes.

Schitt’s Creek is available to stream on Netflix in the UK.

The Orange Is The New Black actress shared an Instagram photo of Asante, 17, on the red carpet looking dapper in his suit at the Emmys 2019 on Sunday night.

In the caption, Samira, 32, posted a sweet caption celebrating Asante’s achievement of becoming one of the youngest Emmy nominees ever in the awards’ 71-year history.

Asante plays Kevin Richardson in the critically-acclaimed Netflix series, which tells the real life story of the five men – known as the Central Park 5 – who were wrongfully imprisoned for the rape of female jogger Trisha Meili.

‘Shine, BABY! Auntie loves you!! #nofiltercuzhehandsome#Emmysyoungestnominee #iknowhim [sic],’ Samira wrote.

Well, fans had to do a double take after realising Samira called herself Asante’s ‘auntie’, clearly not realising that they were related.

But many thought Asante had looked familiar while binge-watching When They See Us earlier this year, but it’s surprising none of us put two and two together given he and Samira pretty much have the same face.

Reacting to the family tree revelation, one of Samira’s Instagram followers commented: ‘It all makes sense now! I was like he looks just like Samira Wiley! This is awesome!’

‘I looked fast and thought it was you! What a handsome boy!’ another stunned follower said.

Just as shocked as the rest of us, one other fan chimed in: ‘Holy f**k, before reading the caption i was positive it was just you through some weird ass filter hahaha [sic].’

Amazed by the resemblance, another said: ‘There is the resemblance! I knew he reminded me of someone! Wow, the talent.’

That’s a lot of Netflix money in one family.

So how are they related? Asante is the son of Samira’s sister Aiyana Ma’at while his father’s name is Ayize.

While Asante may be new in Hollywood, he’s quickly catching up to his aunt’s fame as she won an Emmy for outstanding guest actress in a drama series for her appearance in Handmaid’s Tale back in 2017.

It was a successful night Ava Duvernay’s heart wrenching drama, When They See Us, which won the lead actor in a limited series or movie award for Jharrel Jerome who played Korey Wise.

When They See Us is available to stream on Netflix.

Isaac Hempstead Wright doesn’t know what to do with himself now that Game of Thrones is over and honestly – same.

Taking to the Emmy red carpet on Sunday night, a reporter asked what life was like after GoT and he simply responded: ‘Empty!’

Laughing, he continued: ‘No – exciting! It’s like a brave new world, new chapter.’

The 20-year-old actor, who started filming Game of Thrones when he was just 10 years old, went on to reveal he’s just finished shooting a new film in Romania over the summer.

‘That’ll be out soon,’ he said. ‘[I’m] just seeing what comes my way for now.’

The television academy paid a special tribute to GoT during Sunday night’s award show.

Seth Meyers said: ‘Game of Thrones was a show about many things – how the bond of family is the hardest to break, how no matter the amount of wedding planning you do, something invariably goes wrong and how, in the days before 23AndMe, people had to rely on word of mouth to find out if they had slept with their aunt.’

‘GoT not only set Emmy records, it set the standard for storytelling and it will be missed,’ he added.

The television academy then aired a touching montage of scenes from the final series of the hit-HBO show.

Then some major GoT players came out on stage, including Lena Headey, Peter Dinklage, Kit Harington, Emilia Clarke, Sophie Turner, Gwendoline Christie, Maisie Williams, Carice van Houten and Alife Allen.

But fans noticed the absence of Bran the Broken (Isaac Hempstead Wright) on stage during the tribute.

Spoiler alert!

Bran ends up sitting on the Iron Throne at the end of season eight, so why isn’t he important enough to lead the tribute?

One GoT fan tweeted: ‘Bran is the actual winner of the Game of Thrones and they literally did not put him on the stage????’

Then another tweeted: ‘So they made bran KING and he’s not even up there with them?’

Justice for Bran, we say!

Naomi Watts is officially in the Game Of Thrones gang as Gwendoline Christie (Brienne of Tarth) and Lena Headey (Cersei Lannister) pass the baton over to her in a sweet Emmys snap.

The actress is playing an unconfirmed role in the upcoming spin-off Bloodmoon, following the end of Game Of Thrones earlier this year.

Beaming backstage, Gwendoline and Lena threw their arms around the newest member of the Westeros squad as she takes the reins over from them to bring forth a new era for the franchise.

Naomi wrote next to the pic: ‘This was a bit exciting…!!! Loved bumping into these seriously talented ladies @iamlenaheadey @gwendolineuniverse #GOT congratulations.’

While little is known about the plot for Bloodmoon, which wrapped filming for the pilot in July, George RR Martin confirmed that it would be set hundreds of years before the tale that unfolds in Game Of Thrones.

It’s rumoured that Naomi could be playing Florys the Fox, which, according to Westeros folklore, According to Westeros mythology, kept three husbands (none of whom knew about each other).

Her sons became the founders of House Florent, House Ball and House Peake, but she could’ve potentially been the mother to fourth son Lann the Clever, who eventually starts the Lannister family.

That means we could see the meeting of Naomi’s Florys and her great-great-great-great-grandaughter, Cersei!

The theory comes as Naomi was spotted filming the drama on location in Italy in an opulent gold dress.

Another leak from the set also showed a boat with a sigil which could be that of the early Starks.

Meanwhile, Game Of Thrones took home two Emmys at last night’s ceremony, bringing the total Emmy win count this year up to 12 following their wins at the Creative Emmys last week.

Among them, Peter Dinklage, aka Tyrion Lannister, won his fourth Best Supporting Actor in a Drama nod, setting the record for years to come.

Game Of Thrones is available on Sky Atlantic and NOW TV in the UK. Bloodmoon is yet to be given a release date.

The 71st Primetime Emmy Awards are in the history books, and once again we can’t help but feel The Big Bang Theory deserves far more recognition than it actually received.

Despite getting more than 45 nominations over its incredible 12 years run on the air, Chuck Lorre’s sitcom creation only won 10 times in total, with Jim Parsons being the only cast member to actually take home a prize at the prestigious ceremony.

Honestly, that’s just not good enough!

This year, as the show came to an end after over a decade, it was noticeably conspicuous by its absence, with its nod coming from finale episode ‘The Stockholm Syndrome’ with Mark Cendrowski at the helm category.

The Outstanding Directing for a Comedy Series prize would go to the debut of Fleabag (directed by Harry Bradbeer), and while we can’t begrudge Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s incredible sitcom getting the recognition it earned, it does mark yet another year where we can’t help but feel The Big Bang Theory has been massively shortchanged at the Emmys.

Let’s just take a moment to break down the 10 wins the show actually had over the years – while Jim’s portrayal of Sheldon Cooper was undoubtedly a highlight and deserving every plaudit coming his way, it says a lot that he’s responsible for four of the prizes, with another five being awarded for camerawork, editing and the like.

Rounding off the list is Bob Newhart as an outstanding guest actor – which is absolutely right – but come on now! There have been so many incredible guest spots in The Big Bang Theory over the years, from Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill to William Shatner and Adam West. Honestly, anyone of those – and more – could have earned that nod over the years.

It’s also a shame that – as incredible as Jim was in his role – other cast members never got given their due at the ceremony. We’re not saying every performance in the show was groundbreaking, but there are some definite standouts who at least should have been given some recognition for the great work they did.

Let’s go off-brand for a second and admit Johnny Galecki’s turn as Leonard didn’t do enough to justify a win – but can anyone explain why Mayim Bialik didn’t take home the outstanding actress gong over the years for her wonderful portrayal as Amy? She was robbed and we won’t hear any different.

Her chemistry with Jim is undeniable, but she would constantly elevate the show with her dry delivery, sarcastic remarks and incredible comic timing. Whether it was dealing with Sheldon’s most difficult moments – and total lack of self-awareness – or showing Amy’s more romantically-charged side, Mayim lifted the character behind a caricature into someone well-rounded, sympathetic and hilarious – often all within the same scene.

From the quick wit of the Fun With Flags segments to her early attempts to get Sheldon into bed, there were a lot of sides to Amy in a show that doesn’t always get the credit it deserves for character depth and growth.

Four nominations and no success is a real shame, especially when a great deal of Sheldon’s success in later series came down to his relationship with Amy and how they were able to bounce off each other.

And OK, it could be a stretch to suggest Kaley Cuoco, Simon Helberg or Kunal Nayyar did enough to get that level of recognition, as wonderful as they were in their roles. But surely Kevin Sussman’s performance as the comically tragic Stuart Bloom could have at least got a nomination in a supporting category?

For such a popular programme with a wealth of nods on the shortlist, it’s actually surprising that The Big Bang Theory only took home the 10 prizes it did, and even more of a shock that it was only in the running four times in the outstanding comedy category – the most recent of those coming five whole years ago.

It’s a shame that the sitcom wasn’t able to go out on a real high by adding another trophy to the collection – but let’s end this little rant on a more positive note. Take a look at Friends, one of the absolute greatest TV comedies of all time.

Looking at the Primetime Emmys, you’d be forgiven for forgetting how beloved Friends actually was and is, with just four wins from a possible 28 – and a sole victory in the outstanding comedy category in 2002.

If the organisation can overlook that show, maybe we shouldn’t be surprised to see Big Bang Theory get shafted once again – and it could simply show a bit of a divide between what viewers enjoy, and what the award ceremonies suggest we should be paying attention to.

Fans certainly paid attention – at its peak, it was watched by an average of just over 20 million for season nine in the US, and looking from the first to last series it rose 10 million to an impressive 17.31 by the end. Great figures for a show still going strong when things finally came to an end.

Of course, The Big Bang Theory sadly did conclude earlier this year, and its legacy will become clear over the next decade as we look back. At least it’s in good company with the Emmy snub, and we have no doubt it will enjoy similarly enduring popularity as time rolls on.

Saturday Night Live winning an Emmy last night may not have been too unexpected, but when the show’s creator Lorne Michaels collected the trophy, he delivered a surprisingly emotional acceptance speech in tribute to the late Chris Farley.

The episode submitted for this year’s awards was the Adam Sandler-hosted episode containing a tribute to the late actor, who died in 1997 from a drug overdose, and Michaels made sure to honour his memory in his touching acceptance speech.

Picking up the award for best Variety Sketch Series – the 72nd award given to the show over its 44 seasons – Michaels called the moment ‘very chilling’ and ‘very powerful’.

‘This means a lot,’ Michaels said.

‘The show we submitted was the show Adam Sandler did. He came back to host 24 years after he left, and in middle of the show he did a tribute to Chris Farley.

‘The crew and the cast and everyone who was in that studio, most of whom worked here when Chris Farley and Adam Sandler were young men. It’s rare that you see a cameraman tear up or the boom crew crying. It was a very chilling moment, and very powerful.’

He added that Sandler’s Farley tribute are ‘what keeps us there. And the politics.’

Farley, who died aged 33 from a cocaine and morphine overdose, was known for his outlandish sense of humour.

Following his death, Adam, David Spade and Chris Rock have been among those to keep his memory alive.

All of them were present when he was posthumously awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame in 2005, with Farley’s mother picking up the plaque in his name.

SNL also won the Emmy for Outstanding Directing For A Variety Series, with director Don Roy King, who directed the submitted episode, accepting the award.
