description: The actress left the ITV crime drama in 2024.
encoded: Brenda Blethyn has announced she has no plans to retire any time soon, despite turning 80 years old next month. The English actress is best known as the titular character in the ITV crime drama Vera, which she held for 14 years, having taken up the role in 2010 before leaving the show in 2024. Despite her departure from the much loved role sparking fears of her retirement among fans, Blethyn has confirmed its not on the horizon for her just yet. "I’m lucky to have been working all this time. In fact, when I was 65, I was thinking, ‘Do I retire now? Maybe that’s what I’m supposed to do?’ And then Vera came along. "Now I’m nearly 80 and I’m not thinking about retiring at all – though perhaps I will cut back a bit and spend more time at home," she told The Mirror. Brenda Blethyn first began acting in 1980 when she was just 33 with a part in the television film Grown-Ups, directed by Mike Leigh. From then her career flourished and her acting credits now include not only television and film, but also theatre. Aside from Vera, she is known for her roles in The Witches, Atonement, Pride & Prejudice and the Mike Leigh film Secrets & Lies, for which she received an Oscar nomination for best actress. Now, she has just wrapped up filming a new 8-part Channel 4 drama; a remake of the 1985 series A Woman of Substance, based on the novella of the same name by Barbara Taylor Bradford. In the reimagining of the drama first made 40 years ago, Yorkshire-born Emma (Blethyn) embarks on a journey from simple housemaid to becoming the richest woman in the world. Blethyn will play the 80-year-old rendition of the character, while Outlander actress Jessica Reynolds plays the younger version. A Woman Of Substance will air on Channel 4 later this year.

description: Lou Michaelis will be returning the show after we last saw her character being locked up.
encoded: Lou Michaelis is set to make a return to Coronation Street only a matter of months after the controversial character left the show. Lou, played by Farrel Hegarty, originally joined the soap alongside her husband Mick Michaelis (Joe Layton) in February last year. Their characters were introduced as nightmare neighbours for Chesney and Gemma, in a storyline which expanded the soap's setting beyond the ginnel for the first time in its history. However, by July the same year, the characters had already left the show after a short but turbulent few months on our screens. Viewers last saw Hegarty's character being locked up for 4 years after she plead guilty to attacking Gary Windass (Mikey North), which lead to him being in a coma. In her final scenes, Lou entrusted the care of her children to foster carer Sally Metcalfe (Sally Dynevor), telling her: "I don't want you bringing the kids to see me anymore. Not regularly. "I just don't want them to get used to seeing me here. And this place getting mixed up in their memory of me." At the time of the exit, a Coronation Street spokesperson told RadioTimes.com: "This is not a shock exit or an early exit. "Mick and Lou were brought into the show to cause chaos on the cobbles in the build-up to a major storyline in the summer and they are already making their presence felt.

"Joe and Farrell were contracted for a specific length of time, some characters come in for a long time and some like Mick and Lou are brought to pass through and leave a trail of destruction behind them." But now, Lou will be coming back to our screens and Farrel Hegarty has already filmed her returning scenes, according to reports from The Sun.

description: The new show will begin its UK tour in March.
encoded: Ralf Little has been confirmed to play the lead in a new stage adaptation of John Le Carre's The Spy Who Came in From the Cold, the 1963 spy thriller. The story depicts Alec Leamas, a British intelligence officer, who is sent to East Germany during the Cold War as a faux defector to sow disinformation about a powerful East German intelligence officer. Little, who is best known for Death in Paradise and The Royle Family, will now take on the role of Alec Leamas in the UK tour, which sees the first ever theatre production of any John Le Carre novel. The show will have a 6-month run across 21 venues around the country, beginning on 12th March in Leicester and concluding at the end of August. Speaking of taking on the new role, Little said: "It is a huge privilege to be stepping into the shoes of one of John le Carré’s great literary creations, Alec Leamas as we bring the murky world of his Cold War masterpiece to life on stage. "I first read The Spy Who Came in From the Cold when I was 16 and it has stayed with me ever since. Reading David Eldridge’s brilliant script, I once again found myself drawn into the story’s unexpected twists and turns, its high-stakes game of cat-and-mouse between East and West, which David has captured so thrillingly in the play." While the rest of the cast is yet to be confirmed, the play is a collaboration between The Ink Factory and Second Half Productions. It was written by David Eldridge, whose credits include Festen and End, and directed by Jeremy Herrin directing alongside tour director Joe Lichtenstein. Ralf Little began his career starring in TV comedy including the beloved shows Royle Family and Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps. In 2020, he joined the cast of Death in Paradise as Detective Inspector Neville Parker before departing the BBC show in 2024. He has previous theatre credits, including The Ladykillers, Dead Funny, and Presence, for which he received an Olivier Award nomination. Buy The Spy Who Came in from the Cold…

description: The new season is expected to be on screens later this year.
encoded: The cast has now been confirmed for the fourth season of BAFTA award winning BBC series Blue Lights, with Game of Thrones and Fortitude star Richard Dormer set to return. Blue Lights follows a local police department in the Northern Irish capital, where they tackle everything from petty thefts to organised crime, all while maintaining relationships with the local community. Richard Dormer plays Gerry Cliff, a police sergeant who was sadly murdered in the first season of the critically acclaimed Belfast police drama. Dormer's character was shot and killed by a known local gangster while out on a routine patrol with officer Jen Robinson, played by Hannah McClean. A beloved character, his death and legacy continued to impact the following two seasons. Now, Richard Dormer will be returning to the show as its fourth season follows the murder trial of his character, which in turn exposes a dangerous and long-buried secret that leads to chaos both inside the police, and across the criminal underworld. The new season will also see the return of other familiar faces, including Hannah McClean, and Jonathan Harden as disgraced former Inspector Jonty, for an episode which is expected to tie-up unanswered questions from the past, including about Gerry's death. Filmed on location in Belfast, Blue Lights season 4 will be made up of six 60-minute episodes and is expected to be released at some point later this year, but an exact date is yet to be confirmed. Nick Lambon, BBC Drama Commissioning Editor, UK & Northern Ireland, said: "Gerry Cliff was such an integral part of series one so to have Richard Dormer back alongside our talented cast is a dream come true. "We are over the moon to be back filming in Belfast, and with so many twists and turns in store, fans of Blue Lights have plenty to look forward to." Core cast members Siân Brooke, Katherine Devlin and Nathan Braniff will also be returning as Constables Grace Ellis, Annie Conlon and Tommy Foster respectively. Now three years…

description: Fans are already speculating what character she might be playing, and they've got some pretty good guesses.
encoded: British actress Keeley Hawes is set to return to the world of Tomb Raider in a new role for the upcoming Lara Croft TV series. Keeley Hawes first joined the franchise in 2006 at the beginning of her acting career, when she became the voice of Lara Croft in the much-loved video game Tomb Raider: Legend. The actress has continued to voice the iconic character in video games over the years, with the latest released last year (2025). Since then, Hawes has gone on to become a well-known TV actress, starring in Upstairs, Downstairs, Spooks, Ashes to Ashes, and more recently, The Assassin. She is also a three-time BAFTA nominee for her roles in Line of Duty and The Bodyguard. Now, a new Tomb Raider TV series is being produced by Phoebe Waller-Bridge for Amazon Prime – which features a star-studded cast. Lara Croft will be played by Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner, while the series will also feature acting legends Sigourney Weaver as Evelyn Wallis, Jason Isaacs as Atlas DeMornay, Celia Imrie as Francine and Bill Paterson as Winston. Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Bill Paterson have previously worked together on the critically-acclaimed BBC show Fleabag, where he played the titular character's father. It has now been reported that Hawes will also be starring in the high-anticipated Amazon Prime series, after she was spotted filming on set. A behind-the-scenes photo saw Hawes wearing a long trench coat, paired with heeled brown boots and carrying an M&S shopping bag. While her role in the new series has yet to be confirmed, many fans are theorising that she could be playing Lara Croft's mother Lady Amelia Croft, the Countess of Abbingdon. The new series will also feature Paterson Joseph, Martin Bobb-Semple and Jack Bannon as part of its cast. Production for the Amazon Prime show only began this month, so fans will likely expect a release date sometime in 2027 if not later.

description: Robbie William's latest solo album saw him steal a record previously set by The Beatles.
encoded: Gary Barlow has teased that Robbie Williams will be rejoining Take That as the band celebrate the singer breaking a new record with his latest album. This week the singer and recent Better Man star broke the world record for the most UK No 1 albums, as his 13th solo album Britpop went straight to the top of the charts. In doing so, Robbie Williams has surpassed the tally previously set by The Beatles in 2000 and now holds the record. Released on 16th January, the new album, Britpop, pays homage to the golden era of British pop music, the 1990s, and has so far produced 5 singles, including Rocket which features Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi. Williams achieved the new record with 16 chart-toppers, made up of 12 solo albums, three greatest hits compilations, and the soundtrack to his movie biopic Better Man. This doesn't include the two other No 1 albums that he recorded as a member of Take That. Every single album Robbie Williams has released as a solo artist has reached No 1, bar his 2009 album Reality Killed the Video Star which was only surpassed by boy band JLS. Appearing on the Radio 2 Breakfast Show this morning (27th January), the current members of Take That, Gary Barlow, Mark Owen and Howard Donald joined Scott Mills for an hour-long special to mark the release of a new documentary about the band. As well as answering fan questions, Take That congratulated Robbie Williams on his recent record before Gary went on to tease that fans could expect to see Robbie return to the band, saying with certainty "it's going to happen". Speaking to Scott Mills on Radio 2, Barlow said: "Listen, at some point it’s going to happen in the future and that’s one of the wonderful things about our band is that you never know what’s around the corner. "As this documentary shows, we all started out at the same place, could you have even imagined back then that we could all be sat in this position now. It’s wonderful, it really is."

The penultimate roundtable ended in a deadlock between Rachel and James, and despite pleas from both players, the votes remained tied and viewers were left on a cliffhanger. Will James make it to the final five? As we wait to find out, read on for everything you need to know about season 4 contestant James. Who is James from The Traitors? Age: 38 Job: Gardener Location: Weymouth James is a 28-year-old gardener from Weymouth who describes himself as a "bouncy Duracell bunny" thanks to his ADHD. Outside of gardening, James is also a musician, releasing instrumental guitar pieces and has played live to crowds, experience he thinks will set him up well for working his fellow casemates and keeping the energy up in the castle. Why did James apply for The Traitors? James has experience playing poker where he earned himself the nickname "The Librarian" thanks to his innate ability to read people. "I love the show, but I didn't start watching The Traitors until the second series because people nagged me. I used to play a lot of poker, and it has similarities, especially the Round Table," he explained. "I have a desire to play the game well. Not in an arrogant way, but in a confident way, I think I could do this. So, I’m here with a passion for the game and sort of geeky vibes, I think that’s what drew me to it. It’s like a beautiful lovechild of Midsomer Murders and poker." Is James from The Traitors on Instagram? Yes, you can follow James from The Traitors on Instagram @james.a.j.baker.

encoded: When the BBC producers were casting this season of The Traitors, a good fashion sense was not on their list of requirements. However, not only was their casting for this year's Faithfuls and Traitors spot on, they also managed to pick the trendiest cast in the history of the show. Claudia Winkleman has treated The Traitors as a fashion show since its first season, and viewers have come to expect her amazing outfits each episode, but this season, the contestants themselves have stolen the limelight, with a real penchant for knitwear. It's not just one member of the cast, either, oh no. Ever since Jade stepped out in her rainbow cardigan, it's as if the cast is playing a separate, unspoken game of who can deliver the fieriest fit. We've seen Jade's never-ending wardrobe of cardigans, Matthew's grandpa-chic sweater vests and Stephen's colourful jumpsuit straight off the runway. Even traitorous Rachel suddenly upped her outfits from her cool and comfy mum vibe to deliver a garnet red monochromatic look that left the rest of this year's line-up agape. Viewers have since been scrambling to get their hands on the pieces, which have been the stars of each episode. But where exactly can you buy the items? And how much will they set you back? Read on to find out where you can shop The Traitors season 4's cast wardrobe and how much it costs. The Traitors season 4 fashion: Where can you buy all the iconic outfits?

Millie first appeared on Love Island in 2021 where she won the show coupled up with Liam Reardon, and the pair quickly became one of the most loved couples in the show's history. But there was trouble in paradise for the Love Island winners as the pair broke up, not once but twice. Now, as Millie Court jets off to sunny South Africa to once again enter the Love Island villa for the All Stars show, it's time to discover exactly what happened between Mille and Liam and why they split up. What happened between Millie and Liam and why did they break up? Liam was an OG Islander on season 7 of Love Island in 2021 and Millie entered as a bombshell a few days later. The pair remained coupled up throughout their time in the villa, with just a slight indiscretion from Liam when he kissed Lillie Haynes in Casa Amor. Though, Millie quickly forgave him and the pair went on to win the season and split the £50,000 prize money. After leaving the villa, Millie and Liam seemed to go from strength to strength. They regularly attended events together, shared photos of each other on their social media and were quick to move in with one another in their Essex home. However, the news of the pair first splitting up came from a statement from Millie in July 2022, around a year after they met on Love Island. In a statement posted to her Instagram account, Millie wrote: "Liam and I have decided to part ways. We both care about each other a lot, but we feel it's best to focus on ourselves and our individual growth." Liam then went on to share his statement on Instagram, emphasising that the break-up was mutual and amicable: "I will remain Millie's biggest supporter in all that she does and I know she will also do amazing. "We're both ready for new chapters and I'm excited for what's next. Again I just want to thank you all for supporting us on…

It is situated just a few miles upstream from the site of the famous Battle of the Boyne. It was built in the neo-Gothic style and sits in an 1,500 acre estate that spans both banks of the river. The estate is home to the 90-acre organic farm Rock Farm, which has rare breeds whilst Slane Irish Whiskey Distillery is also situated on the site. The castle has been owned by the Conyngham family since the 1700s. Alex Burton Conyngham, Earl of Mount Charles currently lives in the castle with his wife, the Countess Carina, and their children.
