Ed Sheeran teams up with Adolescence’s Philip Barantini for this hour-long Netflix special – but those hoping for candid personal revelations will be disappointed

A guitar-wielding Ed Sheeran takes fans on a musical journey through both New York and his back-catalogue in Netflix’s One Shot – with the help of Adolescence director Phillip Barantini.

The award-winning director, who is best known for producing singularly-shot projects, follows pop icon Ed across New York as he surprises unsuspecting, over-excited fans ahead of an upcoming gig.

The hour-long special, shot in real-time, sees Ed leave show rehearsals at New York’s Manhattan Centre to “go about the town for a little bit” in the hour before his gig.

The 34-year-old dad doesn’t give his voice a breakout, however, with him breaking out into song at rooftop parties, helping a fan with his proposal, crooning at cab drivers and thrilling subway passengers with his chart-topping singles.

From his 2011 breakout hit The A Team and crowd-pleaser Sing, to newer tracks like Galway Girl and Azizam, Ed dives through his discography with just his guitar, his impressive pipes and occasional help from selfie-seeking New Yorkers.

He’s even given a lift at one point by regular collaborator Camilla Cabello, who picks him up in a four-by-four and feigns surprise with the unconvincing line: “What are you doing in New York?” They duet Ed’s 2015 tune Photograph with Camilla behind the wheel in a scene reminiscent of Carpool Karaoke (which comes as no surprise considering James Corden producer Ben Winston worked on the film).

While One Shot showcases Barantini’s impressive cinematography skills and Ed’s playful performances, those hoping for insights into the Brit Award winner’s life will be left disappointed.

Rather than a follow-up to his candid 2023 docuseries The Sum of It All, One Shot is essentially a very long music video. Ed briefly chats about his calamitous proposal to now-wife Cherry Seaborn while striding through the city, revealing that he got down on one knee in their kitchen after rain dampened his original plans.

He later invites Camilla round for spag bol, telling her that daughters Lyra, five, and Jupiter, three, “will be so excited” to see her. But otherwise, Ed sticks mainly to serenading and fist-bumping his fans.

For hard-core lovers of Sheeran’s ever-growing collection, One Shot is a must-watch if you fancy a dance down memory lane. Plus, it’s much cheaper than paying today’s tour ticket prices.

Those not too bothered by the British pop prince may find themselves switching over fairly quickly – although it’s worth tuning in to admire Barantini’s hypnotic, film-making skills. Much like Adolescence, One Shot will leave viewers scratching their heads as to how certain shots they pulled off the one-take wonder.

One Shot with Ed Sheeran is available to stream on Netflix.

Actor Danny was on stage at ZYN Rolling Stone UK Awards in London as host when he made the surprising claims about his achievements

View 2 Images

Danny Dyer has insisted that one thing in 2025 meant more to him than winning a BAFTA, even though he has wanted respect in the acting world for decades. The 48-year-old actor was finally given some serious credit for his decades in acting earlier this year for Best Male Comedy Performance in Mr Bigstuff.

But he insists it is nothing in comparison to having West Ham striker Jarrod Bowen as a son-in-law after he married daughter Dani in the Summer. On stage, hosting the ZYN Rolling Stone UK Awards, Danny used the F word a dozen times in his introduction, promising a “proper f**king night” before turning to speak about his daughters, who were both in the room.

He said: “It has been an amazing 12 months in the worlds of music and film but for me personally too because I won a f**king BAFTA, are you having that?

“The greatest achievement of my life, there is only one thing that could top that, and that is the fact that my firstborn child, my beautiful daughter Dani, who is here tonight, married the captain of West Ham United! Every dad dreams of his daughter bringing hope the right person, but the captain of the team! What a touch.”

Elsewhere on the night, The Cranberries performed at the event, which took place at London’s Roundhouse on Thursday night.

The ceremony was attended by nominees, including Lewis Capaldi and FKA Twigs.

Other guests included comedian Mo Gilligan and singers from the Sugababes.

Sir Bob Geldof was honoured with the Lifetime Achievement award for his role in organising the Band Aid single and Live Aid concert in response to the 1984 Ethiopian famine.

Boomtown Rats star Bob, 74, said: “Getting this award really wraps together a lot of things that have happened in my life. I’m thrilled!”

Fayth Ifil from the Just For One Day: The Live Aid Musical also performed on the night alongside the tribute to Sir Bob.

The philanthropist’s campaigns have raised more than £110million for charity.

But speaking earlier this month, he implied he was stepping back from the charity: “I think we are done. I mean, it wears you down… I could depress myself with the latest ten or twelve emails I get every day, detailing the latest horror from Sudan or the latest f***ing massacres in western Tigray [in Ethiopia].

“I refer to them at gigs and always get the same snide comments, but I’m living it and we try to ameliorate that. If there is mass gang rape of women in front of their husbands and children, which there is daily, and those broken women can make it over the line somehow, then Band Aid money will be there to try to repair as much as possible of these damaged lives. So that isn’t going to stop, but it doesn’t necessarily involve me any more.”

Louis Tomlinson has donated a huge amount to help One Direction’s former bodyguard, Preston Mahon, who currently requires life-saving surgery

Louis Tomlinson has helped his former bodyguard, who needs life-saving surgery. Preston Mahon, 54, was regularly seen with Louis and his former bandmates, Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Liam Payne and Zayn Malik – ensuring the five lads could navigate between their excited fans.

Preston was recently forced to put the brakes on his almost three-decade career helping some of the biggest names in entertainment, including One Direction, Boyzone and Westlife, due to his deteriorating health. Initially, Preston was told he needed surgery on his knee. But after the operation, medics discovered a clogged artery in his thigh. He underwent an angioplasty to clear the clot in his left thigh.

However, the artery has re-clogged and he has been told the NHS cannot intervene until the situation becomes “dire” – until he needs a bypass or an amputation, friends have said. But Preston has now exhausted all of his savings on treatment, and his circumstances have now changed, and he requires life-saving surgery on both of his legs.

The surgery is €35,000 (£30,820), totalling just over £15,400 per leg. And while his nearest and dearest have launched a GoFundMe, Louis, known for his kind heart, has donated £4,000 to the cause.

“I’m so appreciative, it means the world to me,” Preston told The Sun. He has also personally texted Doncaster-born Louis to thank him for his kind gesture. Preston went on to tell the publication: “I can’t thank him enough, wow. I wasn’t expecting that. I sent Louis a text personally saying thank you.

“All the boys from One Direction mean the world to me, I met up with all the lads again at Liam’s funeral exactly a year ago, it was the saddest time ever but a lovely reunion.”

Preston had previously paid to have stents fitted during a private operation in Spain, with the surgery being carried out by the same doctor who helped with his father’s knees in Madrid. Fans of One Direction, who were used to seeing Preston at concerts and outside the lads’ hotels, have all rallied around him on social media.

“We love you Preston,” said one. A second penned: “Louis has donated £4K to the fundraiser for Preston Mahone, who’s worked previously with the band. Preston has lost most of his physical ability and use of his legs.”

Another went on to write: “Louis has donated £4000 to the fundraiser whose goal is to enable Preston Mahon, former security guard for One Direction, to undergo a life-saving operation!” This isn’t the first time Louis has thrown his support behind a cause close to his heart.

Over the years, Louis has supported organisations such as Niamh’s Next Step, the Make-A-Wish Foundation, and Bluebell Wood Children’s Hospice, located in South Yorkshire. Currently, Louis is riding a high following the release of his latest single, Palaces, taken from his upcoming third solo album, How Did I Get Here?

Speaking about his third record, Tomlinson told Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1: “Just taking more risk in general, and you need confidence to do that. And I definitely built up a lot of confidence from the tour shows I’ve played recently. You know what it’s like. I left One Direction, and you want to spread your wings and show who you are as an artist.

“And those things are really important, but the motivation behind those ideas is often not correct. And I think from this album, I was ready to embrace all the things that used to scare me.”

Vogue Williams and Tom Read Wilson have joined the camp – but they were given less than a friendly welcome, as they left their fellow campmates fuming tonight

View 3 Images

I’m A Celebrity newcomers Vogue Williams and Tom Read Wilson caused instant tension after arriving in camp and immediately taking charge of the chore rota.

The hit ITV reality show – fronted by Ant and Dec – returned on Thursday night as the celebrities returned from a challenge, having watched Aitch, Ginge and Kelly tackle the ‘Camp Fright’ trial, only to discover their camp had been dramatically transformed

Ginge, Jack, Aitch and Eddie’s comfy beds had been removed and replaced with basic camp beds and hammocks. Two pristine thrones had been set up for the newly appointed Bush Explorers, while the Treehouse — now reserved for the newcomers – had been upgraded with plush beds, soft chairs and even a tannoy system for speaking to the camp below.

Vogue and Tom wasted no time settling into their luxurious new surroundings. Vogue teased Tom as they explored the space, telling him: “You’re posher than Spenny]Spencer Matthews], you’re the poshest person I’ve ever met”!

But their arrival didn’t go unnoticed by the rest of the camp. Ruby admitted in the Bush Telegraph that she could feel a shift, saying: “I think the dynamic is going to change now with the two chiefs here, I really do feel like it’s kind of Lord of the Flies, there’s two sides and we may annihilate each other, or we may fall in love”.

Sensing the shake-up, Jack confided his concerns to fellow campmates. He said: “I feel resistance to Vogue and Tom, I’m just kinda like, ‘ Hey you don’t get to walk in halfway through the movie and decide to turn it off or change it… ‘”

Once everyone gathered around the campfire, Vogue and Tom unveiled the new chore list – and it certainly raised eyebrows.

Kelly and Martin were assigned as the camp chefs, with Vogue and Tom explaining that Kelly looked a little bit like Nigella. Ruby and Lisa were put in charge of washing up, while Eddie and Ginge were given responsibility for the water supply. Alex and Aitch were tasked with collecting wood. That left Jack and Shona to take on the least glamorous job in camp: dunny duty.

Vogue Williams, 40, is a presenter, podcaster and former reality TV star. She also co-hosts the hit podcast My Therapist Ghosted Me and has hosted shows like The Big Deal. Vogue is married to Made in Chelsea alum Spencer Matthews. The couple shares three children together: son Theodore, a daughter named Gigi Margaux, and a younger son, Otto James.

On joining the show, she said: “I always thought I wouldn’t do it, because I’ve gotten too comfortable in my life. I like to have eight hours of sleep, I like to eat nice things, I like to just chill out and I never put myself out of my comfort zone.

“Then when I turned 40, I started to get scared of ridiculous things. I didn’t want to be this person. Doing this is such a massive life experience and it is not something you can pay to do. So now I am 40, I think it will be pretty cool to do I’m A Celebrity.”

Meanwhile, Tom Read Wilson is probably best known for appearing on Celebs Go Datingwas a contestant on the fifth series of The Voice UK. He said:” My first thought when they approached me about taking part was abject terror, “said the 39-year-old”. But I have got a very strict rule in life. If the only reason that you don’t want to do it is fear, you must do it, whatever it is.

“I’m fearful as a porcupine and I am very nervous that my grey cells]brains] won’t dance properly in camp, too. At home, I do a cryptic crossword every day, I always have a book on the go and I am a bit worried that my frontal lobes will drop off if I don’t have a lubricant for it”.

He continued: “I can be vague at times and I don’t want to scatter brain cells over the camp”.
