description: Move over, Marvel: welcome to the Madea cinematic universe...
encoded: Wise-cracking, larger-than-life grandma Madea first appeared on screen in 2005. Since then, we’ve seen Tyler Perry’s character sort out countless family rows, solve relationship woes, dish out idiosyncratic words of wisdom, get in trouble with the law, do battle with zombies, and even cross over with Mrs Brown's Boys. But how do you watch the Madea movies in order? Blending slapstick humour, heightened melodramatic storylines and often didactic messages, the Madea films have certainly proved divisive and prompted some scathing reviews. Despite that, though, Perry’s movies have - for the most part - been reliably successful at the box office, helping the actor and filmmaker to build up a billion-dollar entertainment empire. Whether you’re new to the Madea cinematic universe or want to return to the franchise after catching up with the newest projects on Netflix, here’s the complete Madea watch order. How to watch the Madea movies in order Whether you're wanting to watch the Madea movies in order by release date or by chronological order, the watch order is as follows: Diary of a Mad Black Woman (2005) Madea’s Family Reunion (2006) Meet the Browns (2008) Madea Goes to Jail (2009) I Can Do Bad All by Myself (2009) Madea’s Big Happy Family (2011) Madea’s Witness Protection (2012) A Madea Christmas (2013) Madea’s Tough Love (2015) Boo! A Madea Halloween (2016) Boo 2! Madea Halloween (2017) A Madea Family Funeral (2019) A Madea Homecoming (2022) Madea's Destination Wedding (2025) Diary of a Mad Black Woman (2005) View oEmbed on the source website It all began in 2005 with Diary of a Mad Black Woman, the screen version of Perry’s play. Helen (Kimberly Elise) is about to celebrate her 18th wedding anniversary with husband Charles (Steve Harris), until she returns home to find all of her belongings in a moving truck. Charles, it turns out, has been having an affair with a younger woman and is kicking Helen out of the house. Happy wedding anniversary, indeed. Helen heads to h…

encoded: Fans of DC Comics have plenty to get excited about over the coming months (and years), with big things happening in both animation and live-action for the publisher's iconic characters. While we're still a long way away from our first proper look at James Gunn's much-anticipated Superman reboot, some of the most iconic storylines in comic book history are currently being adapted for the Tomorrowverse. This shared animated universe has recently revisited the origins of Clark Kent and John Stewart, and offered a cinematic retelling of Batman: The Long Halloween – but the biggest is yet to come. Warner Bros Animation is currently embarking on a three-part adaptation of Crisis on Infinite Earths, which is set to feature the late Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill in their Batman and Joker roles from The Animated Series in a multiversal crossover. It's not yet known whether the event will also merge the Tomorrowverse and the DC Animated Movie Universe (DCAMU), which hasn't seen a new entry since 2022. If you're eager to get involved in the fun, read on for your complete guide to the Tomorrowverse and the DC Animated Movie Universe (DCAMU) – there's plenty to get stuck into! How to watch the DCAMU movies in chronological order Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox (2013) Barry Allen, AKA The Flash, is alerted to a break-in at the Flash Museum, where his enemies including Captain Cold, Heat Wave and Mirror Master have descended. Once he arrives on the scene, it becomes clear the robbery was orchestrated by his nemesis Professor Eobard Thrawne, or Zoom, as part of a wider plan to destroy Central City. Though Allen manages to foil the plot, when he awakes the next day, things are drastically different. His mother is alive, his wife is married to someone else, and his powers have completely gone. The Justice League as he knows it no longer exists, and Aquaman and Wonder Woman are at war in Europe. Allen makes a visit to Wayne Manor, but Batman doesn’t recognise him and responds wi…

Here's everything you need to know about season 16 of Taskmaster. When will Taskmaster season 16 air? Channel 4 has confirmed that Alex Horne and Greg Davies will return for season 16 on Thursday 21st September at 9pm. In March 2023, the broadcaster confirmed that it had commissioned six more seasons of the game show, which are set to air over the next three years.

description: Giovanni won't be taking part in the group dances with his fellow pros this year.
encoded: The new season of Strictly Come Dancing is now in full swing, with a new cohort of 15 celebrities ready to be schooled in the arts of Latin and ballroom dancing by their professional partners. Among the stars taking part this year are Channel 4 newsreader Krishnan Guru-Murthy, actor Adam Thomas and tennis player Annabel Croft, who will take to the dance floor alongside the likes of TV host Les Dennis and former Come Dancing host Angela Rippon, who is making Strictly history as the show’s oldest ever contestant. Eagle-eyed fans might have noticed, though, that professional dancer Giovanni Pernice, who won the competition back in 2021 with partner Rose Ayling-Ellis, doesn’t feature in the group dances this year. Here’s the backstory behind Giovanni’s absence from those show-stopping group numbers… Why isn’t Giovanni Pernice in the group dances? When Strictly aired in 2020 during the Covid pandemic, the show’s bosses made the decision to pre-film all of the group numbers in the summer, rather than record them live, before the competition kicked off in earnest. This was so that the professional dancers could form a ‘bubble’ beforehand in accordance with Covid protocols at the time. Since then, they’ve decided to stick to this plan, typically filming the group dances in August ahead of each new season premiering in September. While performing his Him & Me stage show with Strictly pro-turned judge Anton du Beke back in July, Giovanni injured his ankle and was advised to take a break from dancing in order to rest. "As you probably know I’m on tour at the moment with Anton and doing one of the dances I did twist my ankle on stage,” he told fans last month. "I have just been to the doctor, to the physio, and he advised [me] to rest for a few weeks.” He further explained: “[The injury] also means that I am going to miss a few of the Strictly professional group numbers, but I just need to give some rest to my ankle and come back stronger than ever for the upcoming series of St…

description: The town of Paradise is not as it seems in Tom Selleck's gritty detective series.
encoded: A grizzled cop with a chequered past in a sleepy town is a tale as old as time but Tom Selleck makes it as compelling as ever and for fans of Robert B Parker’s novels, we have our guide on how to watch the Jesse Stone movies in either chronological or release date order. Stone uproots his LA life and moves hoping to find some peace in Paradise, Massachusetts after being fired from the LAPD for drinking on the job when he found out his wife was having an affair and got a divorce. Turning up to interview for top cop drunk, he is hired by the corrupt president of Paradise’s board of selectmen as they believe he will be easily manipulated into doing their bidding and turning a blind eye. Stone smells what’s going on in the deceptively quaint town that is rife with organised criminal syndicates and murder and the films depict his struggles with crime and his own personal demons. Starting with Stone Cold on CBS in 2005, Selleck reprised the role another eight times till 2015s Lost in Paradise. Fans are keen to see more of Stone and Selleck has confirmed they are working on a script for a tenth film but until then, read on to find out how to immerse yourself in the world of Jesse Stone. How to watch Jesse Stone movies in chronological order If you want to immerse yourself in the world of Paradise, the series chronology is relatively simple: you just have to remember that the first movie to be released, Stone Cold, should be watched as the second Jesse Stone story in Parker’s series. Meanwhile, the second movie Night Passage, which was released a year later in 2006, should be watched first, as it introduces us to Stone’s LA backstory. Got it? From then on, the movies follow a straightforward chronological order. Here's a quick look at the Jesse Stone films in chronological order. Jesse Stone: Night Passage (2006) Jesse Stone: Stone Cold (2005) Jesse Stone: Death in Paradise (2006) Jesse Stone: Sea Change (2007) Jesse Stone: Thin Ice (2009) Jesse Stone: No Remorse (2010) Jes…

description: Could the famous boxing clan be back on our screens for round two?
encoded: It came as a surprise to absolutely no one when reality show At Home with the Furies shot to the top of the Netflix charts when it first landed on the streamer. The nine-part fly-on-the-wall series revolves around world heavyweight champion boxer Tyson Fury and his family, including his wife Paris and, of course, his half-brother Tommy Fury and partner Molly-Mae, who met on ITV reality series Love Island. Naturally, those who tuned into the show are curious to know if there will be a second season, and Netflix would undoubtedly foot the bill given its popularity. But according to the man himself, it sounds unlikely at this moment in time. "I wanted out," he said (via The Sun) of the filming process. "It was a couple of weeks in, and I was on the phone to my lawyers: 'Is there any way I can get out of this? I don't know what I've signed up for again. I've made a mistake.'" Paris added: "We got halfway through filming and he wanted to cancel the whole show." But as we've seen in the past with his decision to step out of retirement, nothing is ever off the table. Here's everything we know so far about the show's future. Will At Home with the Furys return for season 2? Netflix is yet to confirm whether the Fury family will be back on our screens for a second season, but there are already reports swirling that it has been recommissioned. "They’re so confident it will be a hit with audiences that they want more and filming is due to start this autumn," a reported insider told The Sun earlier this month, describing the rumoured news as "great news for fans of Tyson, as well as those being introduced to the career and home life of the boxer for the first time". "Netflix are sure the show will have everyone hooked and were quick to snap up the leading man up before his diary became too full," the source added. We'll keep you updated as soon as we know more.

As ever, five contestants will take part in a series of cooking challenges designed to show off their culinary talents (or, in some cases, expose their total lack thereof…), and at the end of each episode, judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace must decide which star will be sent home. Among them will be Emmerdale star Amy Walsh. Here's what you need to know about the soap star... Who is Amy Walsh? Age: 37 Job: Actor Instagram: @amyvwalsh Twitter: @amywalsh27 The younger sister of Girls Aloud star Kimberley Walsh, Amy has been acting from a young age, appearing in the short film Past Memoirs when she was eight. Her first TV role came in 2011, when she played Jennifique McQueen in Hollyoaks spin-off Hollyoaks Later. Then in 2014, she joined the cast of Emmerdale as Tracy Metcalfe. She’s been a regular fixture on the soap ever since, and has also appeared on quiz shows like Celebrity Chase and All Star Family Fortunes, appearing on the latter with her older sister. She welcomed a daughter with former EastEnders star Toby-Alexander Smith in 2021, and the couple announced their engagement the following summer. Earlier this year, she revealed that she has lobbied Emmerdale bosses to give daughter Bonnie a role in the show, especially now that her character Tracy has decided to open up a nursery. "I've actually asked if Bonnie can be an extra," she told The Mirror. "Then I could see her a bit more! I don't think that would be wise, though." Amy's former on-screen father Michael Praed, who played Tracy's dad Frank on Emmerdale between 2016 and 2019, will also be appearing on Celebrity MasterChef 2023.

Once the show had ended, Luca and Gemma's relationship lasted three months before they called time on their romance.

"I can't thank everyone enough for all their support for us as a couple during and after Love Island."

encoded: World heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury and his wife Paris are giving fans a candid insight into their family in new Netflix reality show At Home With The Furys. The nine episodes will take viewers in the Furys' Morecambe Bay mansion as 34-year-old Tyson tries to embrace the joys of retirement, capturing all the ups, downs and inevitable chaos of life with six young children. Plus, Love Island devotees will be intrigued to learn that Tyson's half-brother Tommy and his fiancée Molly-Mae Hague will also be taking part in the series, marking their first major foray into reality TV since 2019. According to Netflix, the show "will have exclusive access to the heavyweight champion of the world as he exits the ring and tries to embrace retirement with his extraordinary family". Before the series airs, here's your guide to who's who in the Fury clan. Tyson Fury Tyson Fury requires no introduction. Born in Wythenshawe, Manchester, to Irish traveller parents John and Amber, Fury started boxing at the tender age of 10. At the start of his career, he represented England and Ireland as an amateur, eventually becoming ranked third in the world as a junior. In 2008, he won the ABA super-heavyweight title, but was not selected to represent Great Britain at the 2008 Olympics, which prompted him to become disillusioned with amateur fighting, influencing his decision to go professional soon after. He made his professional debut in December 2008 and quickly rose up the ranks with a series of high-profile wins. In 2015, he defeated Wladimir Klitschko, ending the Ukranian’s 11-year winning spree and becoming the heavyweight champion of the world. However, his mental health began to deteriorate afterwards, and in 2016 Tyson revealed that he had been dealing with depression. “I’m going through a lot of personal demons, trying to shake them off,” he told Rolling Stone at the time. A few years later, though, he made a comeback, losing the weight he had gained during his hiatus from boxi…

encoded: It's time to return to the Celebrity MasterChef kitchen, where a fresh line-up of stars will be chopping, dicing, and sautéing in a bid to cook up a storm for judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace. In heat three, opera star Wynne Evans, the man behind those love-them-or-hate-them GoCompare adverts (apologies in advance if just reading this has caused the jingle to pop into your head), will be hoping that his cooking skills prove as impressive as his vocals. But if one of his favourite snacks is anything to go by, it seems that Wynne might favour some pretty unusual flavour combinations. "My downfall is cheese and jam," he told the BBC ahead of his appearance on the show. "I love cheese and jam together. I don’t think John and Gregg have tried cheese and jam, but they should. They’re missing out." We're certainly intrigued. Here's what you need to know about Wynne before he makes his MasterChef debut. Who is Wynne Evans? Age: 51 Job: Welsh singer Instagram: @wynneevans Twitter: @wynneevans If you've watched British TV on a commercial channel in the past decade or so, you'll no doubt be very familiar with Wynne Evans's face - and his voice. Since 2009, the Welsh opera star has appeared in the notorious Go Compare adverts, first playing a flamboyant opera singer named Gio Compario (yes, really) and later playing himself. But before all that, Wynne trained at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and the National Opera studio, later performing at the Proms and as part of the Welsh National Opera. He made his debut at the Royal Opera House in 2009 and two years later was cast in a special anniversary production of Phantom of the Opera at the Royal Albert Hall, taking the role of Ubaldo Piangi. Alongside his music career, he has presented shows on BBC Radio Wales and made a foray into acting with an appearance in Ruth Jones's comedy Stella. In order to prepare for his MasterChef stint, Wynne recruited his kids to challenge him. "I've got my kids to turn up with surprise …

This year, 20 familiar faces will be taking part in a bid to win the Celebrity MasterChef 2023 trophy, following in the footsteps of last year's winner, TV and radio presenter Lisa Snowdon. Among them will be DJ Locksmith, one-quarter of the chart-topping band Rudimental, who are responsible for hits like Waiting All Night and Feel the Love. He's revealed that he initially turned the show down "repeatedly", but was eventually persuaded to take part by his family, who are "huge fans" of MasterChef. So how will he fare when his cooking talents are put to the test? Here's everything you need to know about Locksmith. Who is DJ Locksmith? Age: 34 Job: Musician Instagram: @theycallmelocksmith Twitter: @Locksmith Leon 'Locksmith' Rolle grew up on the same Hackney street as his Rudimental bandmates Piers Aggett and Kesi Dryden. In 2012, the band shot to fame with the release of Feel the Love featuring John Newman, entering the UK charts at number one; their debut album Home followed in 2013, and hit the top spot in the charts too. The same year, they were nominated for the Mercury Prize. Since then, the group has gone on to enjoy major chart successes, teaming up with artists like Ella Eyre on another number one track Waiting All Night, as well as Emeli Sandé and Becky Hill. But before the band hit the big time, Locksmith was a learning mentor at a secondary school, with plans to train as a PE teacher. Celebrity MasterChef is not his first foray into reality TV: he previously appeared on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins and was rumoured to be a "stand-by" cast member for I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! in 2021. Speaking about his stint in the MasterChef kitchen, the musician admitted that "cooking isn’t my thing, so I’m jumping out of my comfort zone", and described his time on the…

description: A new instalment in Netflix's Untold series will delve into a doping scandal that rocked the sporting world.
encoded: Netflix’s Untold documentary series is all about shedding light on stories from the world of sports. Previous episodes have charted the careers of sporting figures including former Olympian Caitlyn Jenner and tennis player Mardy Fish, while the most recent instalments have delved into YouTuber Jake Paul’s pivot to boxing and the college football star Johnny Manziel, who would eventually become mired in scandal and controversy. Upcoming instalment Untold: Hall of Shame, however, does something a little different: Rather than focusing on a sportsperson, it tells the story of Victor Conte, the musician who would go on to found the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative, the sports nutrition centre at the heart of one of the biggest doping scandals in sporting history. The centre, it was later discovered, had been supplying banned performance-enhancing substances, including human growth hormone and the steroid tetrahydrogestrinone, to athletes. These drugs could go undetected even amid rigorous, high-level testing. Hall of Shame includes insights from figures including the former head of BALCO’s lab and the anti-doping authorities who eventually brought the case against Conte. Who is Victor Conte? Born in 1950, Conte started out his career as a bass player in groups like Common Ground, Pure Food and Drug Act, and Tower of Power. His music career came to an end in the late '70s, and in 1984 he and his then-wife Aubry founded Millbrae Holistic, a vitamin shop. This later became sports nutrition company BALCO. Conte’s nutritional know-how was largely self-taught, and he would initially use an ICP spectrometer to test for potential mineral deficiencies in athletes, then treating any shortages with supplements. What happened in the doping scandal? In the mid-'90s, BALCO’s focus changed significantly. Conte is thought to have started working with the chemist Patrick Arnold to develop performance-enhancing drugs which were largely undetectable through testing. The substances include…

description: The documentary aims to explore the role that social media played in the notorious trial.
encoded: The Depp v Heard court case was one of the most talked-about trials in recent Hollywood history. In 2018, actress Amber Heard wrote an op-ed article for the Washington Post, in which she described herself as a "public figure representing domestic abuse". She did not mention her former husband Johnny Depp by name in the piece, but the actor sued his ex for defamation. Heard then filed a countersuit. Last year, the former couple went to court, and the six-week trial was live streamed from Fairfax County Court in Virginia, drawing in a peak of 3.5 million viewers - the broadcast clocked up 83.9 million hours watched in total. The case was also referred to as a 'trial by TikTok' by many commentators, after social media users started sharing their own opinions on the trial in droves. Eventually, a seven-person jury reached a verdict in June, with Depp winning all three counts of defamation. He was awarded $10.35 million in damages, while Heard was awarded $2 million in compensatory damages after winning one of her counterclaims. Directed by past BAFTA nominee Emma Cooper, Depp v Heard is a three-part documentary which aims to explore "what happens when the court of public opinion starts to overshadow reality". Here’s what we know so far about the documentary series’ Netflix release. When is Depp v Heard on Netflix? Cooper’s documentary is set to land on Netflix outside the UK on Wednesday 16th August. A UK release date for the series is yet to be confirmed by the streamer. Depp v Heard actually debuted on Channel 4 earlier this year, though, so all three episodes are currently available to watch on the broadcaster’s own streaming platform. What is the documentary about? According to Netflix, Depp v Heard will show the testimonies of both parties "side by side for the first time", using 200 hours of live-streamed coverage along with footage from "citizen commentators". Its goal, the streamer says, is to present "a neutral overview of what happens when the court of public …

encoded: From Love Is Blind to The Ultimatum, Netflix certainly isn’t short of dating shows. But its latest launch Down for Love looks set to offer something different. Originally airing on TVNZ in New Zealand, the series follows a group of people with Down’s syndrome as they embark on a search for romance, dealing with all the ups and downs that inevitably entails. Following in the footsteps of previous series such as Netflix’s own Love on the Spectrum, Down for Love aims to provide an authentic portrayal of what it’s like to look for love as a disabled person, and was created with the support of the New Zealand Down Syndrome Association. It’s proved such a hit in New Zealand that it has already been commissioned for a second season, so when will we be able to stream it on Netflix? Here’s what you need to know. When is Down for Love streaming on Netflix? You don’t have long to wait: all five episodes of Down for Love season one are set to arrive on the streaming service on Friday 11th August. It’s a bumper month for the streamer, which has also recently launched the second season of Heartstopper and Korean reality series Zombieverse. What is Down for Love about? According to Netflix, the show is "a heartwarming quest for love that follows several people with Down’s syndrome as they navigate the trials and triumphs of dating". The "feel-good" show, the streamer adds, "aims to showcase the joys and challenges of finding love while breaking down stereotypes and promoting inclusivity". According to Down for Love producer Robyn Paterson, the team behind the show "were wanting to do something in the area of love and relationships, because there are significant barriers for people living with disabilities", she told The Spinoff. "And I really wanted to bring more of a documentary lens to it, so that it could go beyond just entertainment." According to the NZDSA’s national executive officer Zandra Vaccarino, the show provided a platform to challenge misunderstandings about the Down…

A new line-up of celebrity contestants will be putting their gastronomic skills to the test in a bid to pique the taste buds of judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace - and, as usual, some of them will have more experience in the kitchen than others. Among the stars taking part this year is comedian Shazia Mirza. "I'd always thought about doing it, but it looked so scary," she admitted ahead of her appearance on the show. "Now I say, just do it!" From her unexpected previous career to her stints on other reality shows, here's what you need to know about Shazia. Who is Shazia Mirza? Job: Comedian Instagram: @theshaziamirza Twitter: @shaziamirza1 Before making a move into the world of comedy, Shazia Mirza was a science teacher at Langdon Park School in east London, where she happened to teach a young Dizzee Rascal (or Dylan Mills, as he was better known then). She has toured successful comedy shows like The Kardashians Made Me Do It, With Love From St Tropez and her most recent production, Coconut, which was nominated for best stand-up tour at Channel 4’s National Comedy Awards. Shazia has also previously taken part in survival shows like Celebrity The Island with Bear Grylls and Channel 5’s Celebs in Solitary. You might think that surely Celebrity MasterChef would seem like a cakewalk in comparison, but Shazia admits that she still got "very nervous" when the time came to enter the famous kitchen. "I prepared for MasterChef by burning two kitchens down," she admitted. "I burnt down the home economics room at school once and my mum’s kitchen once. But I’ve learned my lesson, I know not to leave the oven on when there’s nothing in there!" Phew. When is Celebrity MasterChef 2023 on TV?

Now in its 18th season, the star-studded spin-off of the BBC's classic cooking show sees a group of famous faces entering the MasterChef kitchen, hoping to impress judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace with their cooking prowess (or, at least, crossing their fingers that they won't embarrass themselves too much on national television).

Earlier this year, Remi took over 1Xtra’s drivetime show from Reece Parkinson, and also co-hosted the MOBOs. Oh, and she made a cameo as herself in the BBC's music industry drama Champion, created by Queenie author Candice Carty-Williams. No wonder, then, that she admitted that she was too busy to have much time to prepare for her stint in the MasterChef kitchen. "I just had to try and brush up on a few things," she told the BBC ahead of her appearance on the show. And as for her signature dish? "Salmon with a side of salmon.

Greta Gerwig’s Barbie and Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer will release in union on 21st July and, while the two movies could not be more dissimilar in nature, they share one thing in common: anticipation for their release dates has reached fever pitch. The buzz around Barbie is so huge thanks, in part, to a supercharged marketing campaign, which has seen the film completely take over commerce, culture and fashion. There's also been plenty of hype around the movie's epic cast, which is led by Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, with early watchers of the film labelling Gosling as the standout star of the movie despite initial casting doubts, not to mention the excitement over the movie's soundtrack, which features the likes of HAIM, Ice Spice and Tame Impala. While this is the first live-action ode to the toy, Barbie has actually appeared in 40 computer-animated films over the years, beginning with Barbie in the Nutcracker in 2001. The earlier entries took inspiration from classic stories, from fairy tales to literary favourites, before moving on to original narratives, set in magical worlds, royal kingdoms or, a little closer to home, in high school classrooms and present-day New York. The most recent release is Barbie: Mermaid Power, which landed in 2022, and over the course of those 40 movies, the ever-versatile Barbie has taken on a multitude of roles, from royalty to rock star to spy.

description: The 24 year old beautician was the first contestant to be announced for the new series.
encoded: We’re nearly a week into the summer 2023 series of Love Island, and the drama is already heating up between the singletons. Among this year’s cohort is 24-year-old Ruchee Gurung - who promised to bring “glam and big energy” before she stepped foot in the villa. The beautician has been in a pair with Mehdi Edno since the show began on Monday 5th June - but that could all change as the contestants prepare to undergo their first recoupling. So just who is Ruchee, and what is she looking for in a man? Read on to find out. Ruchee Gurung - key facts Age: 24 Job: Beautician Instagram: @rucheewawo Who is Ruchee Gurung? The very first contestant to be unveiled for Love Island's 2023 summer edition, Ruchee is a beautician hailing from Sutton in south-west London. Ruchee describes herself as "really caring", and has already given viewers a hint of what they can expect from her stint in the villa. "When I'm with someone I’m all about them," she said. "I’m also really loyal and love doing nice things for the people that are special to me. My love language is gift giving, so I’m a real giver when it comes to relationships." Why did Ruchee Gurung want to take part in Love Island? View oEmbed on the source website Opening up about why she decided to sign up for the dating show, Ruchee explained: "I’m single and looking for love, and it’s the perfect opportunity for me to find someone. I’m a relationship kind of girl, but so far it’s not worked out for me. So I’m looking forward to hopefully finding the right person in the villa." Though we don't yet know much about Ruchee's type on paper, she has revealed the traits that give her the ick, explaining that she is not a fan of "guys with no ambition". She's got high standards when it comes to dress sense, too. "I also get the ick if I see a guy wearing white jeans and red trainers," she said. "Another one is super skinny jeans when they look like leggings. Fashion is such an important thing for me. If I go on a date and the guy isn’t …

description: Want to revisit the robots in disguise? Here's your guide to the larger-than-life world of the Transformers franchise.
encoded: It's pretty clear that the Transformers franchise is one of the most divisive film series of recent times: for everyone who loves the unique brand of mayhem that Michael Bay has brought to the films, there are several others who are far from convinced. Still, that hasn't stopped the franchise from making a lot of money at the box office and so it's no real surprise that we had a new film titled Transformers: Rise of the Beasts – the seventh entry in the series so far. Although most of the movies have begun with a prologue set in the past – whether that be the extinction of the dinosaurs or the space race in the ‘60s – for the most part the timelines of the films has been chronological from when they were released. But that all changed with the sixth outing Bumblebee – the first entry not to be directed by Bay – which unfolded entirely in 1987 and therefore was set twenty years before the events of the earlier movies. This newly complicated timeline continued with Rise of the Beasts, which is set between the end of Bumblebee and the beginning of the main series – so it's safe to say that there's now a little debate to be had about what order the films should be watched in. So if you are planning to re-watch the films now that the new one is arriving in UK cinemas, here’s how to navigate the series in both chronological and release order. How to watch the Transformers movies in chronological order Here's the best way to watch the Transformers movies in order, all the way from Bumblebee to The Last Knight: Bumblebee (2018) Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (2023) Transformers (2007) Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009) Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011) Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014) Transformers: The Last Knight (2017) 1.

description: George promises to "bring the vibe up" in the villa with his dad dancing.
encoded: Love Island 2023 is well under way with a new batch of contestants. The brand new cohort of 10 singletons consists of musical theatre performer Molly Marsh, model Emma Thomas and gas engineer Mitchel Taylor. Also amongst this year's starting lineup is business development executive George Fensom, who hit the news for the wrong reasons before he even stepped onto the hit dating show. George has promised to bring "charm, personality, good looks, quick wit" and, erm, "tanned ankles" to the villa. But can he deliver? Here’s everything you need to know about the Love Island 2023 contestant. George Fensom - key facts Age: 24 Job: Business development executive Instagram: @georgefensom Who is George Fensom? A business development executive hailing from Bedford, George is confident that he will bring a party spirit (and some questionable dance moves) to the villa. "I'm the first person to bring the vibe up, I’m always dancing," he says. "I’m always the one who wants to go out. My go-to dance move is what I call the Dad Dance, I’m gonna bring dad jokes and dad dancing to the villa." Sounds like this year's talent show could be a sight to behold. Love Island's George Fensom tweets As detailed above, George faced backlash before even appearing on Love Island after past homophobic tweets resurfaced. In response, the 24-year-old told RadioTimes.com and other press: “Actually, looking back on those tweets, I was really naive and really young to think that that was the right thing to say. "It's obviously not the right thing to say on my behalf, and it's one of them situations that it doesn't show the man that I am today at all, in any way, shape, or form.” George added: “As I say, you know, I can't even remember off the top of my head when it was, 14/15. Even so, we are talking near enough 10 years ago. So much learning gets done every day around these subject areas and we are still, as humans, continuing to learn now of what is right and what is wrong." What is George Fensom look…

description: The public have crowned their 2023 champion!
encoded: After seven weeks of auditions and a packed week of live shows, Britain’s Got Talent has crowned its 2023 winner. Following a tense final, Viggo Venn was named as this year’s champion, following in the footsteps of past winners like Diversity, Lost Voice Guy and Axel Blake. He will receive a £250,000 cash prize and appear at the prestigious Royal Variety Performance later this year. Lillianna Clifton came in second place, with magician Cillian O'Connor in third. The 2023 season of the long-running ITV talent show marked former Strictly Come Dancing star Bruno Tonioli’s debut on the judging panel. Tonioli joined Britain’s Got Talent following David Walliams’ departure from the show earlier this year. “I had a ball, partly because I had never seen it before,” Tonioli previously told Radio Times, adding: “I had the best time. It’s a proper variety show and the range of talent is incredible. "Simon [Cowell] and I have known each other forever, but this is the first time we’ve been able to work together. It was such fun. We need some of that in our lives.” This year also saw more Golden Buzzers dished out to contestants than in previous seasons, in a shake-up to the usual rules. Normally each of the four members of the judging panel can pick one Golden Buzzer act, who is then fast-tracked to the live semi-finals, and presenters Ant & Dec are also given the chance to one act between them. This time, though, both Tonioli and Simon Cowell pressed the Golden Buzzer for two acts each. All four judges also teamed up to give amputee dancer Musa Motha an unprecedented ‘group’ Golden Buzzer during the audition stages. Britain’s Got Talent is set to return to our screens in 2024, with applications to audition for the contest already open. For the first time in the show’s history, members of the public will be able to nominate individual acts or groups that they think are worthy of a chance to perform for Cowell and co. “New to Britain's Got Talent, we are giving you the opportunit…

description: Molly's mum has previously appeared on another major ITV show.
encoded: New Love Island contestant Molly Marsh has revealed that her actor mum is “really supportive and excited” about her taking part in the ITV2 dating show. 24-year-old Molly is a social media creator and musical theatre performer, and her mum Janet Marsh has had several roles in Coronation Street over the years, appearing as a nurse, a receptionist and an ITU worker. Janet has also featured in series like Bodies, Where The Heart Is and Still Open All Hours. Asked whether her mum had given her any tips about dealing with the cameras before she headed into the villa, Molly told RadioTimes.com and other press that Janet was “very open to the opportunities” but hadn’t dished out any specific advice. “We already have been very big fans of the show,” she added, explaining that her family would usually “all sit together every time Love Island’s on,” and have conversations about who she would couple up with if she was in the villa. “They know how the show works and what it entails,” she said. “So they are really excited for me and they know how much I love being in a relationship. They know that I love being in love, so they do want that for me again, so I can probably leave them alone a bit!” View oEmbed on the source website Emphasising her closeness with her family, Molly said that any potential partner would have to also be “very family orientated, because the first day he comes to meet my family, he’s going to meet everybody at once. So he needs to be a confident guy ready for that". Molly toured the Love Island villa in South Africa, where the winter edition of the show is filmed, at the start of the year, and is thought to have been scouted by producers afterwards. She said that she felt “a little more prepared” after having visited one of the show’s locations, “because I felt so comfortable and safe, and it was an environment that I really liked the feel of, which gave me the nudge to apply. It’s definitely made me feel more relaxed and more at ease, and it’s going to …
