One Inbetweeners star seems to be playing hard to get as the hit E4 sitcom makes its huge comeback. The comedy series is said to be returning next year with all four original cast members keen to be on board.

Simon Bird, James Buckley, Blake Harrison and Joe Thomas shot to fame when the show became a hit with fans over three series from 2008 to 2010. Its success even resulted in two films that followed in 2011 and 2014.

Over the weekend, show creators teased they are plotting more adventures for the four iconic characters – Jay Cartwright, Will McKenzie, Neil Sutherland and Simon Cooper. However, says after the news broke one star might not be making a comeback with them.

According to Joe and James, one familiar face has been avoiding their calls. Theo James is too “handsome, nice and funny” to revive his role, say his former castmates.

The White Lotus and Divergent star played club rep bully James in The Inbetweeners Movie. However, Theo’s success means he has become so big and in demand that Joe and James “can’t get near him”.

Speaking on their podcast, Joe and James Fact Up, James revealed: “You can’t be that handsome, that nice and also quite funny. I had to become funny because I was such an odd-looking man.

“I hope he gets Bond a he is one of us, he is one of our own. He doesn’t answer any of my calls or anything but sure.” Joe added: “Well he is, you know, massive.

“Won’t answer his phone after everything.” James teased: “If he wasn’t such a great guy I’d f***ing hate that d***head.” Theo has gone on to find Hollywood fame as he’s played Cameron in White Lotus and Four in the Divergent series, and has even been tipped to play the next James Bond.

Iain Morris and Damon Beesley, who were the masterminds behind the show, are said to have signed a deal with production company Banijay UK and are “plotting more adventures for our four favourite friends (ooh, friends).” The company have managed to secure a deal that can “bring The Inbetweeners back” across film, TV and stage.

Simon actor Joe revealed his excitement for a potential reunion with his castmates as he told the Mirror he “loves them”. He praised: “I love being around them.

“And I’ve worked with them in other contexts as well – really, I’ve taken every opportunity to work with one of that group ever since the show ended. I’ve got my podcast with James, me and Simon go back to university, and Blake Harrison is a great friend, so I love working with them.”

Speaking of working together once again, Joe told us: “So in some capacity, of course! Working on it again would be wonderful.” Fans are also hoping actress and comedian Emily Atack will be on board.

Joe is hopeful too, as he shared: “I actually haven’t spoken to Emily recently, but I’ve followed her career. I just think it’s really, really impressive how she’s built this fantastic career from not just acting, but also her own personality and being funny and being herself.

“And what strikes me is just how much talent there is in the cast. So many other people have gone on to have these amazing careers in their own right, doing stand-up or just being funny.

“I think that is a really, really good sign in comedy that people are not just comedy actors, but they’re creators as well. And Emily is that. So, I’m not surprised that there’s a clamour for her to come back as well.”

Molly Mae Hague has admitted she wants to have a second child, so her daughter Bambi has a sibling. The former Love Island star, business entrepreneur and influencer will be back on TV screens this weekend as the second series of her Prime Video reality series launches.

And in the run up to the streaming launch, Molly-Mae revealed she does hope to have another baby with partner Tommy, the main reason being because of how close she is to her own sister Zoe. Molly Mae said: “I think about it a lot and it’s something that I feel quite a large pressure around because I’m desperate to give Bambi a sibling.

“My life wouldn’t have been the same without my sister. I was the younger sister, so I benefited even more from having someone to guide me and someone to look up to. I’d want that for Bambi, but I would never want to do it just for her – I’d want to do it also because it’s something I want to do.”

Molly also confirmed in the interview with Cosmopolitan magazine that she is not currently living full time with Tommy Fury. The pair met on the 2019 series of Love Island, later becoming engaged and welcoming their daughter Bambi in 2023. The split last year but reconnected in 2025.

She said: “We’re back together, and we’re just navigating our way through – forming our relationship again in the public eye and really just figuring it all out, to be honest.

“Nobody’s relationship is perfect, and even though we’re back together, I’ve never shied away from the fact that there are still good days and bad days, like all relationships. I try to keep things as real as I can.

“So as much as I’m like, “We’re back together and we’re in such a better place, and I’m probably the happiest I’ve been”, there’s still highs and lows.”

Fans will find out much more about the relationship this weekend when the first three episodes of Molly-Mae: Behind It All – Series 2 drop on Prime Video. The latter three episodes will drop early 2026.

The second series follows the remarkable success of series 1, which became the most-watched series on Prime Video by young women (18-34) in the UK.

The streaming platform says on screen it will show Molly Mae as she takes her business empire to the next level while navigating the challenges of motherhood under the scrutiny of millions.

The previous series covered her break-up from Tommy, and at the time she said: “The last couple of months have been like the worst couple of months of my life.

“The feeling of a break up, it’s like a physical pain, like your heart actually hurts. For everyone else, it’s news, a bit of gossip. But for us, it’s real life. Your whole world just feels like it’s over.

“You don’t see a light at the end of the tunnel. I’m dealing with the falling apart of our relationship.” The eventually got back together and she described the relationship as “worth saving”. Molly Mae was born in Stevenage and grew up in Hitchin, Hertfordshire, while Tommy was born and raised in Manchester.

Tommy is also the brother of heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, and is a boxer himself too who regularly posts photos online in training.

* Molly-Mae: Behind It All Series 2 (Episodes 1–3) launches exclusively on Prime Video on October 18. Episodes 4-6 episodes will follow in early 2026.

Prince William teamed up with Crown Prince Hussein of Jordan to visit RAF Benson in Oxfordshire today, where the Prince of Wales took a trip down memory lane

Prince William revealed how flying is his “happy place” as he reminisced about his old life in the RAF as a helicopter pilot.

The Prince of Wales caught up with old colleagues to chat about the “glory days” flying Sea King helicopters on rescue missions during a special visit to an RAF base today. William was joined at the base by fellow heir to the throne, Crown Prince Hussein of Jordan, and also described how the roar of the aircraft still goes “straight to my heart”. Both princes met some of William’s former colleagues and other personnel in the mess at RAF Benson near Oxford, where he was asked if he was still flying.

And he replied: “I do still fly, yeah – I keep my hours going. When you learn that skill set, you just don’t want it to go. I’ve definitely lost a lot of the skills I had, but I like to keep on top of my flying, keep doing it. And it’s my happy place, I love flying.”

William served for three years with RAF Search and Rescue and was based at RAF Valley in Anglesey. He later joined the East Anglian Air Ambulance, where he piloted helicopters for two years.

The prince added: “I miss the Search and Rescue – glory days. I miss the Sea King flying around, because when I hear it, that noise, as it flies past. We had obviously the US state visit the other day, with seven aircraft flying over. Sea King comes in, I was like ‘there she is’ that noise went straight to my heart.”

Both the Prince of Wales and the Crown Prince of Jordan are trained helicopter pilots.The Crown Prince completed his pilot training with the Royal Jordanian Air Force (RJAF) in 2019.

RAF Benson is home to a number of squadrons, including 28 (Army Cooperation) Squadron, a unit training aircrew to fly Chinook helicopters, and William and Hussein helped the technicians with maintenance work.

The future monarchs helped tighten a nut on an oil reserve for a rotorhead – the large assembly a Chinook’s rotor blades are connected to on top of the aircraft – using a torque wrench.

After the wrench made a satisfying click, William joked: “You will check before it goes back (into service), I don’t want to be responsible.” The two princes later had a private briefing about undisclosed matters.

Flight Lieutenant Steve Wilders, a Chinook instructor, served alongside the prince in search and rescue at RAF Valley, and later once piloted a royal helicopter carrying William.

After speaking to William in the mess, he said: “It was really nice to hear that he has carried on flying – he’s still a pilot. “He made it sound as though he still enjoys it and it’s a nice break from the everyday pressures, I suppose, getting up and flying away from everything.”

The two princes’ trip to RAF Benson came after an earlier meeting at Windsor Castle, where they were joined by their wives the Princess of Wales and Princess Rajwa. The Waleses’ are known to be friends of the couple, having attended their spectacular wedding in Jordan back in June 2023.

Meanwhile, the country of Jordan is a special place for Kate, who lived there for three years as a young child. It came when her dad Michael Middleton was relocated there while working for British Airways – and Kate and sister Pippa attended a nursery there.

In 2021, the couple took their children to Jordan for a private holiday, with a family snap at the ancient city of Petra from that getaway featuring on their Christmas card that year. It came after William promised to take his family to Jordan following his 2018 visit there.

A Kensington Palace spokesman said: “Today’s engagements highlight the strong relationship between The Prince and The Crown Prince, as well as their mutual respect and support for the Armed Forces.”

EXCLUSIVE: A body language expert has predicted that Alan Carr ‘won’t last a week’ on The Traitors due to being a ‘leaky liar’, as ‘every facial twitch is broadcasting his guilt’

View 4 Images

Following the release of the first two episodes of the celebrity version of The Traitors, a body language expert has predicted that comedian Alan Carr ‘won’t last a week’ due to his lack of lying skills.

Last week, viewers saw Alan become a traitor alongside Cat Burns and Jonathan Ross and Alan committed the first murder by brushing some hair from Paloma Faith’s cheek during a chat in the kitchen. But after the killing, he admitted: “I feel awful. I didn’t know what else to do! I’ve gone and murdered one of my best friends.”

Former Chatty Man host Alan told the cameras that carrying out the murder had challenged him: “It was a stretch for my acting ability – I don’t know how Meryl Streep does it.” Body language expert Chris Pardoe has since given his opinions to Online-Casinos.com , and said: “Alan is what we call a ‘leaky liar’”.

He added: “Every pore, every gesture, every facial twitch is broadcasting his guilt. If body language were a fire alarm, Alan would be a five-alarm blaze.”

During the episode, Alan also winked at Jonathan and later admitted he has “a sweating problem”, to which the body language labelled the comedian a ‘sweating, winking disaster’. “Right now, he’s hiding in plain sight. But there’s a tipping point where ‘quirky behaviour’ becomes ‘suspicious behaviour.’ We’re talking days, not weeks,” Chris said,

When Alan spoke of his guilt to fellow Traitors Jonathan and Cat, he was told to “toughen up” after claiming that killing her off “broke my heart”.

Jonathan insisted: “You’re not a bad person – you’re a good Traitor. I don’t want to hear any more of this broken heart nonsense. We’ve got to start enjoying this.”

Shortly after it all played out, pop star Paloma, 44, sat down with Ed Gamble on spin-off show Uncloaked and was horrified to discover who the traitors were – and after watching the episode back, quickly dismissed Alan’s theory that he was left with no choice.

Paloma said: “I still maintain this day that if the shoe was on the other foot, I wouldn’t have done that, so I don’t think he should have done it to me and I’m surprised that he did.

“He had a choice, and it was not very nice. But he is extremely loveable and I’ve spoken to him since, and I do find forgiveness quite an easy thing, just as a person. So, I love him.”

Following Paloma’s murder, the rest of the group took to the roundtable to share their theories on who the Traitors could be, but fans have had to wait almost a whole week to find out who will be banished. The banishing will take place in tonights episode.

Selling Sunset is set to return to screens in a matter of weeks and the dramatic trailer for series nine shows newcomer Sandra Vergara make her debut as she joins the group

A Selling Sunset newcomer has a surprising connection to a familiar Modern Family star.

Netflix has dropped a brand new trailer for season 9 of Selling Sunset which is set to premier later this month on October 29.

Familiar faces are back, alongside some fresh new faces as Netflix Tudum teases: “The sun is rising on massive deals and intense drama for The Oppenheim Group agents. Selling Sunset is returning for Season 9, and with new episodes come new faces.”

One star is set to make her on screen debut as she teases some “jaw-dropping moments” that fans won’t see coming as well as “unexpected twists”.

In the thrilling trailer, fans are introduced to Sandra Vergara. After “new energy” is teased, Sandra then walks onto the scene as she introduces herself to agent Mary Bonnet, stating: “I’m Sandra Vergara.”

She is then asked: “Like Sofia Vergara?” – referring to the Modern Family star, as Sandra confirms “We’re related.”

Sofia is well known for her stint on Modern Family with the role of Gloria Delgado-Pritchett. She has also been seen on Griselda as well as Hot Pursuit.

Netflix’s Tudum confirmed the Selling Sunset star was the cousin and adoptive sister of Sofia. They teased: “If that last name rings a bell: Yes, she’s the cousin and adoptive sister of fellow actor Sofía Vergara (Griselda).”

Speaking to Tudum about her Selling Sunset debut, Sandra said: “I’ve always had an eye for design and a love for people, so combining that in real estate just clicked.

“I’d seen [Selling Sunset] and always thought the women were incredibly dynamic. But being on the inside now, it’s a whole different level of excitement.”

Sofía and Sandra are cousins who were adopted by Sofía’s parents and raised as sisters.

Sandra is biologically the daughter of Sofía’s aunt, and she was adopted by Sofía’s parents, Margarita and Julio Vergara, when she was about a month old. They were raised together in Barranquilla, Colombia, and have a very close bond.

As well as experience with luxury properties, Sandra has also made a mark on television, having worked with high profile celebrities and has even served as a correspondent for TV show People.

Like her sibling, Sandra is an actress with credits including 2011 horror film, Fright Night, which features Colin Farrell and David Tennant.
