Ted Lasso icons Jason Sudeikis and Hannah Waddingham were spotted back in Richmond as they filmed the new series of the iconic Apple TV+ programme. The scenes in England comes several weeks after the cast and crew kicked off filming for the fan-favourite series in the USA.

Brendan Hunt and Brett Goldstein were seen spotting Jason, who plays loveable Ted, and Hannah, who plays Rebecca Welton, in Scott’s, a hotspot in south-west London. In the restaurant where she was filming, Hannah looked sensational in a form-fitting blue dress.

She had a massive dry robe hidden between her robes in online photos. While Jason, a co-star, was filming in Kingston while sporting the legendary Ted Lasso moustache.

Ted will lead a second division women’s team in the fourth season of the series, which will debut in the summer of next year. Faye Marsay from Adolescence and Tanya Reynolds from Sex Education make up the new cast. The series also includes Aisling Sharkey, Grant Feely, Rex Hayes, Jude Mack, and Abbie Hern.

The last series aired in 2023, but rumours of the streaming success returning for series four hit the headlines last year – with Deadline reporting that Warner Bros Television had picked up options on cast members Hannah Waddingham, Brett Goldstein, and Jeremy Swift.

The series didn’t pick up Phil Dunster, who plays Jamie Tartt, according to the publication.

Meanwhile, Keeley Hazell recently claimed she almost starred as Keeley Jones before the role went to Juno Temple. In her new memoir, Everyone’s Seen My Tits: Stories and Reflections From an Unlikely Feminist, she discussed meeting up with Jason to “discuss the part he had written for me”.

He informed me of the TV show. A football match took place in England. She wrote, “It would shoot in London.” Ted, an upbeat and optimistic American football coach who had come to coach a British football (soccer) team, was the person who would take the lead, as J has already discovered, a completely different sport.

More details about the role of Keeley were reportedly provided to her by Jason. She continued, “The idea of me serving as the lead in a TV show was enough to make me wet my pants in excitement, even though the show hadn’t been picked up at this point, meaning, it was just a script waiting to be sold.”

I took an audition. I once more auditioned. J said I was at the top of the list, but casting requested a different scene. J and I read together in the third and final round.

The former model claimed that Jason had allegedly punched Keeley feelig in the chest in a text message that she was receiving “a further part” of the show.

She accepted that her acting was “just awful” even though she played the part of Bex in the show. I sabotaged myself on-screen by disengaged, “she said, rather than using this as an opportunity to show how good I was.”

Putin says Trump admin ‘listening’ to Russia’s stance on Ukraine war

Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia, claimed that Moscow and Washington had come to terms with the three-and-a-half-year conflict and that the United States was listening to its arguments for the invasion of Ukraine.

After speaking with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing on Tuesday, Putin said, “Now we see this mutual understanding, it’s noticeable.”

We’re delighted to hear this, and we’re optimistic that the constructive dialogue will continue, Putin continued.

The only European leader scheduled to attend China’s Victory Day parade on Wednesday is the Slovak prime minister, who has opposed Western sanctions against Russia and has spoken out against Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Putin’s remarks come as Moscow is still being pressured by US President Donald Trump’s administration to end Ukraine’s war. In an effort to put pressure on the Kremlin, Washington has increased tariffs on India for purchases of Russian oil.

No agreement has been reached to bring an end to Europe’s most bloody war since World War II, despite Trump’s claim that he had made “great progress” after meeting Putin last month in Alaska.

A membership in the European Union

Russia’s leaders in Ukraine and the rest of Europe have argued that the country isn’t serious about ending the conflict, and they claim that Putin could take further action against Russia if it wins.

Putin, however, refuted these claims, calling them “horror stories” and “hysteria” propagated by “incompetent people” who wanted to portray Russia as an enemy.

During the discussions in Beijing, Putin told Fico, “We have never objected to this.”

This is another issue for NATO, he said, adding that “we consider this unacceptable for ourselves.”

The Russian leader added that there were “options” for what he had said to Trump during the Alaska summit regarding the security of Ukraine.

He said, “It seems to me that this is a chance to reach consensus.”

According to Al Jazeera’s Dorsa Jabbari, who is based in Moscow, Putin reiterated that Russia should “look out for its own security” during discussions with Fico.

She pointed out that Russia must be involved in discussions regarding any kind of security guarantees for Ukraine, as Putin stated.

talks on a ceasefire

Other Western European leaders have remained in favor of Ukraine despite Fico telling Putin that Slovakia was “extremely interested” in standardizing relations with Russia.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz stated on Tuesday that he would recommend Geneva as a potential location for Thursday ceasefire talks. In an effort to put an end to the war, Trump had suggested Zelenskyy and Putin meet.

Difficulty of European countries will also come out for a meeting of the “coalition of the willing” to discuss the post-war security situation in Ukraine on Tuesday.

Horner complainant back working in F1

The woman who allegedly harassed Christian Horner, the former Red Bull team’s principal, is now employed again.

Since being fired by Red Bull in March 2024, the woman has not worked and the BBC has not contacted her.

The woman’s employer declined to comment.

In July of this year, Red Bull fired Horner as the team’s principal.

The company did not give an explanation for his removal, but it did so in response to Red Bull’s ongoing on-track struggles, uncertainty regarding Max Verstappen’s future, and management tension.

Red Bull and Horner are currently negotiating a termination agreement.

In a letter to Red Bull in December of this year, the complainant made claims that Horner had been subjected to sexual harassment and coercive, controlling behavior. In February 2024, the allegations were made public.

On the eve of the 2024 F1 season, Horner has always refuted the allegations, and an internal Red Bull investigation has refuted them.

A group of senior F1 employees and the media were exposed a portion of a group of WhatsApp messages purporting to be related to Horner a day later.

The messages, described as “anonymous, speculative messages from an unknown source,” were not verified by Horner.

Following the complainant’s appeal, Red Bull conducted a second investigation, which came to the same conclusion.

Coronation Street’s Maureen Lipman getting married this weekend after proposing on train

In less than a few days, Maureen Lipman will propose to her fiance last year. Last September, the 79-year-old Coronation Street actress asked her business consultant boyfriend, also 79, to marry her.

Her close friend and Gogglebox co-star Gyles Brandreth has revealed that her wedding is scheduled for this weekend a year later. “I’m going to Dame Maureen Lipman’s wedding on Sunday.” He revealed that “she is getting married.”

She is getting married early! Actually, it’s the afternoon, in my opinion. I’ll be there, too. It’s fantastic, isn’t it? He remarked on his Rosebud podcast that “to marry in your 80th year is fantastic.”

The Evelyn Plummer actress revealed her unconventional proposal last year when she publicly disclosed her engagement. She stated in the Spectator’s article, “My partner and I decided later that night that we would get married, with a combined age of 156.

Although I had been a little against the “M,” he mentioned on a train ride back from Edinburgh that Tu B’Av, a Jewish woman’s day of marriage, was celebrated.

I kneeld under the table that separated us and asked him for his hand because I couldn’t stop the gag. He gave it, to my surprise and my initial shock.

Prior to his passing in 2004, Maureen was married to TV scribe Jack Rosenthal, who he had worked with for 30 years. They welcomed son Adam and daughter Amy, both 50, at the time.

Her future husband, David, also has three children from a previous union. The actress revealed that their children had accepted the surprise news.

All responses were warm and individual, she said at the time. One child claimed that he needed some “time” to process it. As one man slid his old dining table into a new dining table, breaking the news to another, creating a Jack Rosenthal play with, I believe, a happy ending, we changed the scene.

In 2023, Maureen first revealed her romantic relationship with David when she announced she would be hosting a “gentleman friend” at the National Television Awards that year.

She stated to the Sunday Express, “I’m going with my gentleman friend David.” At the age of 77, Maureen has gushed about finding love once more.

The TV host said, “It’s a gift for everyone involved.” He has been very kind, and it is a gift. We will see how it goes because I’ve met some nice men in my life and some really interesting men.

When Maureen and David confirmed their relationship status at the 2023 Oldie of the Year Awards, they stepped out together. She proclaimed, “That’s my significant other.”

Before he passed away in 2021, the actress had a 13-year relationship with Italian businessman Guido Castro. She regrettably observed that “He got Covid” because it didn’t Covid kill him but rather it weakened him severely.

We are unsure of his origin, when he received the vaccine, or whether he had it. Guido responded, “It’s time to leave.” You must let go, he says. And I believe that he once again followed my advice.

Bake Off 2025 contestant Iain Ross is already famous for this peculiar hobby

Due to this unusual hobby, which may soon appear in the hit TV show, the Bake Off contestant has over 400k TikTok followers.

The Great British Bake Off returns to screens tonight, with a new batch of 12 contestants all ready to be introduced in the first episode. While this will be the first step into the spotlight for most of the bakers, one is already famous thanks to his peculiar hobby.

Iain Ross, 29, a Belfast baker, only started baking in his early 20s, but has already amassed over 400k TikTok followers. Iain uses edible foot coloring to paint musicians’ faces and album covers onto his baked goods in his videos, which have received millions of likes.

Taylor Swift, Queen, Oasis and more have all been painted on to a variety of baked goods, but most commonly bread. “It’s a really fun hobby to have a clash of worlds,” Iain told BBC Radio Ulster. “I have my baking and my love of music so I try to marry the two together the best I can.”

After he posted the news that he was joining the next series of Bake Off to his Instagram and TikTok, Iain’s fans flocked to the comments to share their excitement. One wrote: “This is so epic, I’ve been following you for so long, congrats!”

Another person praised Bake Off’s “best music taste ever, and you’re amazing at baking.” Iain was also requested to provide his distinctive artistic decoration for the performance.

Iain will probably make it to Bread Week, but the teaser for the first episode reveals a struggle for the Irish baker. Iain is attempting to repair his tent’s broken cake in the “first look.”

He is reportedly heard saying, “Oh God! ! ! ” while eating his chocolate cake. Oh no ! It has simply disintegrated. In an effort to put the cake back together, he is shown how to scrape bits from the tray.

The presenter made fun of the footage when it first appeared on Lorraine Kelly’s talk show and that it hasn’t been a good year for the baker.

Iain himself has described his time on the show as “chaotic”, telling the BBC that he thinks it will make good TV.

He said, “The word that comes to mind is chaotic.” “I have a lot of plates spinning at a lot of times, and I think it’ll make for good viewing, but I’m not very good with multiple plates spinning,” he said.

Iain and his fans may have had a hard time figuring out how to do it in tonight’s episode. Paul Hollywood quotes cake that “looks like it fell out of a tree,” and wonky cakes, over-baking, and other things in the Cake Week teaser.

Before the show began, Bake Off host Alison Hammond asked viewers to be supportive of the bakers, as it can be difficult when bakes go wrong. In a video message, she told fans: “It’s a magical experience they’ll never forget. What you don’t see at home are all the hours of hard work they put in behind-the-scenes.”

“So, it can really hit hard when something goes wrong in the tent.” They are all genuine people who love baking and make an effort to please everyone. So, please keep in mind that while sleeping on a couch at home, it may seem simple.

Tonight at 8 p.m. on Channel 4 will be The Great British Bake Off.
