Finally, five years after the divisive season 8 finale, the news Game of Thrones fans have been waiting for has arrived – a movie is in the works. The series’ eight-year run from 2011 until 2019 marked a pivotal moment in TV history, propelling actors including Kit Harington and Emilia Clarke to global fame. While it has been revereed as one of the greatest shows of all time, many were left sorely disappointed by the season eight finale, which saw Jon Snow (Kit) kill Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia) before she could claim the Iron Throne. However, now that a film is reportedly…

If anyone was thinking about a Spice Girls Glastonbury 2025 reunion, you can think again. The five-piece girl band – responsible for hits including Spice Up Your Life, Wannabe and 2 Become 1 – haven’t performed together since 2019, when they set out on tour as a four-person group, without Victoria Beckham, who is very much in popstar retirement. Before then, the last time the five stars all performed together – save VB’s 50th birthday bash, when they danced in an iconic video shared by David Beckham earlier this year – was in 2012, for the London Olympics closing ceremony.…

Take That star Mark Owen looked far from his usual self while taking a stroll in Australia ahead of a huge gig.

This Life On Tour sees the band – which also includes Gary Barlow and Howard Donald after Robbie Williams and Jason Orange’s departures…

Danny Jones is reportedly close to replacing Tommy Fury on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! The McFly pop rocker, 38, is said to be in talks to take on the ‘hunk’ role on the show after reports the 25-year-old boxer pulled out just weeks before the programme is due to start. It has been claimed the Love Island star, who recently split from his fiancee and mother of his daughter Bambi, Molly-Mae Hague, has instead agreed to compete in a boxing rematch against KSI. While that was disappointing news for those hoping he might spill on his breakup, it opens the door for…

The Glastonbury 2024 line-up was a catastrophic flop. There, I said it. I was in the crowd when Dua Lipa lit up the Pyramid Stage with her party anthems, and – don’t get me wrong – the 29-year-old Houdini hit-maker is a queen. Her songs are decent, likeable, and popular. She’s also very famous, giving her just enough ammunition to make her worthy of the Glastonbury headliner title, which is not an honour many artists can claim. But she’s not a band – and that’s where the problem lies for me. A band needs that very top spot to harness…

BBC star Rebecca Mason is closing a big chapter of her life after over a decade. The Morning Live regular has made the ‘tough decision’ to walk away from her police officer job to focus on other aspects of her career. Taking to Instagram, she explained that she’d like to head in a ‘new direction’, but will always be grateful for the 14 years of experience. ‘After 14 years as a Police Officer and 10 of those serving as a Detective, I’ve made the tough decision to step away from the badge and let my career take a new direction,’…
