Pop star Harry Styles is drawing inspiration from one of the UK’s most iconic musicians as he works on his fourth studio album – with Berlin becoming his creative base

Harry Styles seems to be channeling the spirit of David Bowie as he works on his highly anticipated fourth album – and he’s found creative energy in the streets of Berlin. The former One Direction star, 31, has been seen in the German capital alongside British producer Kid Harpoon, the hitmaker behind Harry’s chart-topping Harry’s House.

Sony Music’s newly opened European headquarters are based there too, which adds even more fuel to the fire that Harry is working on his next album after first shooting to fame on the X Factor back in 2010.

Opening up about Harry’s new album and his inspiration behind the latest record, a source said: “Harry wanted a break after the madness of Harry’s House and the huge world tour. Now he’s diving into the final stages of his next album, and Berlin – much like it was for Bowie – has become his muse.”

“Harry thrives on keeping a little mystery around his work. It’s exactly what Bowie did, and he’s one of the greatest artists we’ve ever seen. There’s so much excitement about what Harry is planning next – his team can’t wait to share it with everyone,” the insider told The Sun.

Recently, eagle-eyed fans caught a glimpse of the star blending into the crowd, casually strolling through Berlin’s streets and happily chatting with those who recognised him. Harry has been seen scooting around the city on an e-bike and has even helped some fans to pay for their taxi after they were a couple of Euro short.

It comes as Harry has officially been given the go-ahead to build a new £30million mansion in Hampstead, North London. However, despite getting the go-ahead from Barnet council, permission does come with a very specific condition – the singer must make a number of environmental enhancements to cater for great tits, hedgehogs and bats.

The former One Direction singer was told he must meet a number of specifically environmental requirements in order to build his dream home which includes the installation of facilities for protected bats and other wildlife, such as bat boxes, insect hotels, hedgehog gateways and log piles.

Crucially the musical sensation, who has also turned his hand to acting in recent years, doesn’t have long to install the new facilities either, as if he misses the May start deadline, the council will require him to undertake several costly surveys all over again, reports The Sun.

As part of Harry’s plans, he intends to knock through two listed buildings to form one mega-mansion – and in doing so return them to their original design, having been previously separated. In addition, Styles intends to demolish the mid-to-late 20th century extensions and partitions as well as reinstating a top floor that had been removed in the 1950s.

A proposal for the project last year read: “The proposed return of the building to one single dwelling reinstates the circumstance which existed for over two hundred years and which represents the historical development and design intentions of the original house and its various phases of extension – to provide a country house for families of a high social status and wealth on the edge of Hampstead Heath. ”

A former The Only Way Is Essex star who also auditioned for The X Factor is reportedly dating a world famous sports star as she was spotted boarding his team’s bus this weekend

A formerTOWIE star who also appeared on The X Factor is reportedly dating a world-famous sports star after she was seen cheering him on in the crowd and boarding the star’s team bus.

Jasmin Walia, 29, joined the cast of The Only Way is Essex in 2010, quitting the programme to focus on music in 2015. In 2014, she auditioned for the X-Factor, but was left in tears after being rejected by all four judges.

Now, it’s been reported she’s dating world famous Indian cricketer, Hardik Pandya. Jasmin was seen cheering him on in the crowd as she watched his team, Mumbai Indians, play against Chennai Super Kings. After the match, she was spotted boarding the team bus, as a source revealed the two have been “spending a lot of time together”.

“Jasmin has been spending a lot of time with Hardik recently,” a source told The Sun. “She has been supporting Mumbai Indians as much as she can. She was there on Sunday to watch him play against the Chennai Super Kings and she has been seen boarding the team bus a number of times.”

The Mirror has contacted Jasmin’s representatives for comment.

Hardik, 31, captains the Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League and occasionally plays for Baroda. He’s considered one of the best all-rounders in the world and led his team to victory once again as Jasmin witnessed his team celebrate a nine-wicket victory this weekend.

The sports legend was previously married to Serbian model and actress Natasa Stankovic, however the pair, who share a son together, called it quits after four years of marriage in July last year.

Sharing a statement at the time, Hardik wrote: “After 4 years of being together, Natasha and I have decided to mutually part ways. We tried our best together and gave it our all, and we believe this is in the best interest of both of us. This was a tough decision for us to make, given the joy, mutual respect, and companionship we enjoyed together and as we grew as a family. ”

“We are blessed with Agastya, who will continue to be at the centre of both our lives and we will co-parent to ensure that we give him everything that we can for his happiness. “

Jasmin has also previously had a high profile relationship, as she dated Ex on the Beach star Ross Worswick. However, the pair called it quits in 2016 after two years together. Speaking on their breakup to OK! Jasmin said: “I don’t even know the real reason myself, it was just one of them where it just came to an end. We just both wanted different things and went our separate ways.

“I think I got so involved in working on my music that I didn’t have as much as time I would like to in a relationship. It’s a bit selfish but I’ve kind of always wanted my career first. “

Nicola, 30, also shared model-like snaps on her page, all taken in a garage. Only one picture showed them riding around the neighbourhood as Nicola showed off Brooklyn’s neck tattoo – which is of her eyes.

“I love you baby @brooklynpeltzbeckham,” Nicola captioned her photos. The duo’s snaps were similar to the ones taken by Brooklyn’s parents Victoria and David when they were on a US road trip in 2022.

At the time, Victoria shared a clip of their ride as she added Kenny Loggins’ hit song, Danger Zone, in the background.

Victoria wrote in the caption: “Our Maverick Moment! ! @davidbeckham has been trying to get me on the back of his bike for years and finally I did it! It was so much fun! ! “

David also shared a video on his page and said: “My happy place! ” Brooklyn and Nicola’s new snaps come amid a rumoured feud within the family.

Earlier this month, Brooklyn and Nicola failed to publicly mark Victoria Beckham’s birthday on social media. Brooklyn and his wife Nicola reportedly didn’t publicly celebrate his mother’s birthday and were absent from an early party for David’s 50th birthday a few weeks ago.

While Victoria was celebrating her 51st, Brooklyn and his wife were at Coachella with their friends.

Victoria revealed that she was joined by David and their other kids Romeo Beckham, 22, and Harper Beckham, 13. A post on Instagram included photos of them onboard a yacht and from a “beautiful dinner” they had with pals.

In the caption of her recent post, Victoria said: “Thank you for making my birthday so special. My family and my friends, I love you all so much xxxxx. ” She tagged her husband David at the end of the caption.

David had paid tribute to her earlier, like his youngest sons Romeo and Cruz. Cruz’s partner Jackie Apostel also shared a sweet message to Victoria.

Made In Chelsea star Sam Thompson is moving on after his breakup with Zara McDermott and has found a new connection with another Love Island star

Sam Thompson appears to be moving forward after his split from Zara McDermott – and he’s found a new spark with another reality TV star – none other than Love Island’s Samie Elishi. The Made In Chelsea favourite, 32, who was crowned King of the I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! jungle last year, has been exchanging flirty messages with the brunette beauty after they recently connected on Instagram.

Sam, 32, and Zara, 28, ended their five-year relationship back in December and insiders say Samie, 25, is now helping to lift Sam’s spirits. Samie first appeared on Love Island in 2023 and she also made an epic comeback to the All Stars series earlier this year.

A source revealed: “Sam found the split and its public fall-out very hard but Samie has put a smile back on his face. She is a stunning girl and he’s told a few pals about her. He seems excited. Obviously it’s early days, but clearly he has a thing for Love Islanders. “

While Samie has previously dated fellow Love Islander Tom Clare, Zara has moved on from Sam with One Direction star Louis Tomlinson, 33. The unlikely pair have been dating for several weeks now with friends and family reportedly saying they can see the relationship going the whole way. Zara has reportedly already met Louis’ family and has been helping him grieve the death of his best friend Liam Payne since they have been together.

And even Sam’s friends are on board with Zara’s new relationship. His best friend, Pete Wicks, said he is “happy” for Sam’s ex and singer Louis’ after they were spotted holding hands and kissing during a trip to LA earlier this month. Speaking on KISS Breakfast, where he and Olivia Attwood took over from Perri Kiely and Jordan Banjo for the week, Pete said: “I know them, I have a sight connection there and you know, I’m happy, I’m happy for them.”

“That’s amazing, I’ve seen the pictures they’re walking through a car park, really romantic… I’m really struggling not to say anything but it is good gossip. I might tell you some more off air.” Pete’s comments come after Zara and 1D singer Louis were spotted enjoying a sunny romantic trip to Los Angeles, with them sharing snaps on their social media from the same locations.

The pair spent a night together at a gig as they watched Stereophonics in a packed crowd – while skilfully keeping each other off their photos. Later in the week, Zara finally confirmed her relationship with Louis as she shared a snap of them enjoying breakfast together in Malibu as Louis’ arm featured in a snap in a move that has been branded a ‘soft launch’ of their romance.

The romance was fully sealed when Zara and Louis were pictured on another lunch date at Soho Beach House in Malibu. They walked hand in hand as they were full smiles while chatting away to each other – although a body language expert has claimed one might be more into the romance than the other.

Their romantic public display of affection comes just one month after they were seen on a cosy date for the first time at a hotel restaurant in Suffolk. Zara was previously in a relationship with Made In Chelsea star Sam – with who she split from in December. The couple were together for five years and Pete was jokingly considered their “third wheel”.

The TOWIE star featured on many of their TikTok skits and even joined them on may outings, date nights and more.

Sam has yet to comment on Zara and Louis’ new romance but previously shared a cryptic comment, saying: “People look for validation in others to fill that hole”, which is something he says he ‘can’t do’.
