The Killers frontman Brandon Flowers has revealed that the band will be releasing new music; however, fans will have to wait another year for their ‘best’ record

Brandon Flowers has shared that new music from The Killers is in the works. However, fans will have to wait even longer than they had expected for the new record.

The Las Vegas-based rock band last released a record in 2021, with their seventh album, Pressure Measure, which charted at Number One in the UK. But with their last UK performances taking place in August and September 2023, the group have worked out when they will next release any material together.

And frontman Brandon has said that it will be their “best” album to date. However, there will be a wait as he plans to focus on his two upcoming solo LPs before he and Dave Keuning, Ronnie Vannucci Jr and Mark Stoermer get back to releasing music.

“My best guess is that in 2027 you will get the best Killers record,” Flowers said. He went on to tell The Sun: “I have two records complete. One is almost mixed. The other will follow shortly. I’m trying to decide how this is going to work logistically.”

He explained that he had worked on his solo LPs in Nashville and explained it was a “departure” in order to keep fans on their toes. Reflecting on the delay between music from The Killers, Brandon explained: “In 2022, we finally took Imploding The Mirage on the road. It was immense and we did 90-plus gigs, in 2023 we did 65 more gigs.”

He added that in 2024, the group celebrated the 20th anniversary of their debut album, Hot Fuss, with a residency at Caesar’s Palace, as well their greatest hits album, Rebel Diamonds. But the group have been writing “here and there”.

Speaking previously, Brandon explained that the legendary rock group had decided to steer away from a synth-pop record and was back to creating rock ‘n’ roll. He said: “I did not want to commit to a whole synth-pop record, it is complex. There is a place in our hearts for this music but we are getting older.

“We thought you could make an album faster on the road, as you are working more with computers, but we did not get the gratification from it, we are now making a rock ‘n’ roll album.

“We have only been around 20 years and from when we started, rock radio is a different animal as there were fewer and fewer stations.”

Earlier this month, Brandon joined Dawes on stage to perform The Killers’ anthem, When You Were Young, and The Promised Land by Bruce Springsteen at A Concert for Altadena, organised by Dawes to raise money for victims of last year’s Eaton Fire.

The concert took place on the anniversary of the incident in order to support “long-term housing recovery and relief for families, small businesses and first responders,” who had been affected by the fire.

Brandon appeared on stage towards the end of the event to perform When You Were Young, before the entire line-up joined forces for The Promised Land.

The brunette, who will star in Love Island: All Stars next week, admitted that they’ve tried to keep their relationship platonic – but can’t help but flirt every now and again

Belle Hassan has confessed to exchanging flirty late-night texts with fellow islander Joe Garratt, just days before entering the Love Island: All Stars villa. Belle said she’d love to see Joe, who appeared on her series back in 2019, because he’s her “safety blanket”. The brunette also admitted that they’ve tried to keep their relationship platonic – but can’t help but flirt every now and again.

She told The Mirror: “I’d love to see Joe Garratt in there. He’s my best friend. Everyone keeps questioning if anything has happened, I’m like no. But I’d love to see him because he is my safety blanket and I love him so much.”

Belle continued: “Everyone always asks if we’ve ever explored it, but the thing is, he has always been in a relationship when I’m single, and when he’s single, I’ve been in a relationship, so we’ve never been single at the same time.

“This is the only time we’ve been single at the same time. I’m like, ‘Stay away from me! I don’t want to ruin this’. I can’t help but flirt, and neither can he. We flirt after 10pm on the phone. We have a rule – no flirting before 10!”

Earlier this week, Belle’s famous dad, Tamer Hassan, commented on how “proud” he was of his daughter, joking that he’d be “watching” at all times.

Belle admitted boys can be intimidated by the Football Factory star, but they’ve got nothing to worry about. She laughed: “When I’m single, dad is like ‘For god’s sake’. He hates it. He rings me asking where I am, asking what’s going on. He wants me married off! Boys do get a bit intimated but he’s a big loving bear. He’s hard on the outside, soft on the inside.”

Back in 2019, Joe found love with his now-ex Lucie Donlan on the show, whilst Belle was coupled up with Anton Danyluk. Joe returned to the villa for the All Stars Series in 2024, but the hunk was dumped from the villa in a brutal twist.

Speaking in an interview after his exit, Joe spoke about being dumped and his decision behind picking Arabella at the latest recoupling when viewers had expected him to pick Molly Smith. Joe joined as a bombshell and it wasn’t long until his history with Molly was revealed, where he even picked her for a kiss during a racy game of dares.

When it came to the recoupling, viewers had expected Joe to pick Molly but instead he picked Arabella, who had expressed her interest earlier in the episode. Talking about his decision and his favourite show memory, Joe said: “The recoupling when I chose Arabella because all day I alluded that I might choose elsewhere and ruffle some feathers but I’ll never spoil love.

“I’d rather watch love blossom than steal it, but it was fun to see the boys sweat a little over my decision.” Elsewhere, talking about his exit, he added: “I was there for a short period of time but I guess it just just happened to be my time.”

Love Island: All Stars begins on Monday at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.

More than a year after her break-up, Shirley Ballas said she is open to love, but there are some important things she looks for in a man – and she won’t compromise on them

Strictly Come Dancing judge Shirley Ballas has revealed she is ready to date again – but said she is now “very careful” when it comes to relationships, and there are some important requirements she is looking for in a man.

The 65-year-old dancer, who has focused on looking after her 88-year-old mother, Audrey, since splitting up from her partner, Danny Taylor, 52, just over a year ago, said she is open to love. However, she wants to ensure that a potential new partner possesses characteristics such as humour, intellect, and generosity.

Shirley admitted: “I may have had a date or two. I know my truth. I know my authentic self, and if I want to go out on a date, I will go. Nothing serious. No labels, no tags.”

Talking to the Daily Mail, the Strictly judge continued: “I’ve met several nice people over the years. If somebody asks me out and I like them, I go. If I don’t, I don’t bother. I am very careful, though, when I do go out with someone. I will have known them for a while.”

Revealing what she is looking for in a man, Shirley said: “Humour. I like somebody with some intellect. Generosity, too. I’ve always been that person that pays for everybody, so it’s actually quite nice when they say, ‘No, I’ve got this.’ I think, ‘Oh, this is nice.’ Somebody who’s smart, well-kept, takes care of themselves. I like that kind of guy.”

Shirley and Danny called time on their relationship in November 2024, three years after announcing their engagement. The former couple first met in 2018 when they were starring in pantomime in Jack and the Beanstalk. Their love developed as Danny was also a trained ballroom dancer but also tried his hand at acting, starring in soaps including Brookside and The Bill.

Speaking about their romance, Shirley, who replaced the late Len Goodman on the BBC dance show, previously said: “We met on panto as friends. It didn’t really take off until March… for him. I fell in love way before… I think for me it was [at] first sight. He was going through a difficult time in his relationship. We did become friends and then probably in about February I said, ‘I love you Danny’ and he said, ‘I know’. It took a while.”

In an exclusive interview with The Mirror in August 2025, Shirley opened up on her relationship and said they weren’t growing together anymore” and said she showered him with gifts “thinking that’s how I should show him I loved him.” She told us: “We weren’t growing together anymore, and I was getting more and more worried about things that were going on in his life, and I already have a lot of things to worry about. I just needed some peace.”

Before her relationship with Danny, Shirley was married twice. She tied the knot with her dance partner Sammy Stopford in 1980 but divorced after four years. Then there was a fiery marriage to another dancer Corky Ballas with whom she has a son, Mark.

It ended in 2007 amid allegations of infidelity. At 16, she was also briefly engaged to her first dance partner, Nigel Tiffany, who she remains friends with to this day.

Love Island star Indiyah Polack has been accused of cheating on her now ex-boyfriend, Dami Hope, after she was allegedly caught kissing a social media star at a swanky restaurant

A Love Island legend has been accused of cheating on their now ex-boyfriend. Indiyah Polack is facing claims that she was seen kissing a Twitch streamer who boasts 4.1 million followers.

The allegations come days after Indiyah and her now ex-boyfriend Dami Hope confirmed that they had called time on their relationship after four years. The pair met on the ITV dating show in 2022 and went on to finish in third place, but later became one of the most solid couples to emerge from the programme.

But earlier this month, it emerged that the couple had parted ways. Dami recently released a statement, claiming there had been a breach of trust in their relationship.

Now, a YouTube star known by the name Bouncer has shared a video with his 108,000 subscribers, claiming Indiyah cheated on Dami. In the video, which has been viewed over 42,000 times, Bouncer alleges that Indiyah was seen “openly kissing, touching and giggling,” with Marlon, a Swedish streamer at Duck and Waffle.

In the video, the content creator said: “She’s at the table with [Marlon] and they’re getting close, giggling, you get me? Touching, kissing, in a public case, you get me?” He went on to claim that the information had been shared with him by a third party.

Bouncer continued: “Allegedly, Marlon has gone to the toilet, and Indiyah has followed. Around 4am in the morning, they’ve left together.”

While Indiyah is yet to speak out about her split from Dami, a representative for her ex-boyfriend said: “The relationship ended due to a breach of trust and they are no longer together.”

Meanwhile, a source told the Daily Mail: “Indiyah and Dami have sadly decided to part ways after three years together. It’s been a difficult time for them both, they built their lives together, and no one expected their relationship to end so suddenly.

“They have no plans to enter the Love Island: All Stars villa. Indiyah is focused on co-hosting the podcast, while Dami isn’t interested, knowing it would be an unforgivable level of disrespect.”

Last month, Dami shared a cryptic tweet on his social media, reading: “Resentment is weird because yes I want to forgive you wholeheartedly but my mind is struggling to comprehend why you did that to me.”

And as 2025 drew to a close, Dami shared a string of images on his social media page as he reflected on the year – but didn’t include Indiyah. Captioning his upload, he said: “Applauding out 2025. A year full of memories, milestones, losses, and growth you can’t always explain out loud.

“I’ve hit goals I once only dreamed about, yet I still catch myself asking, ‘Why don’t I feel content?’ Maybe it’s because every goal I reach becomes the starting point for something bigger. Not everything ends clean, but it ends clear. 2026 is about peace, progress, motion, and exercising my free will daily.”

Despite having a successful relationship outside of the villa, Indiyah and Dami had a rocky start after both of their heads were turned on multiple occasions. He went as far as to brand them both “heartbreakers.”

In response, Indiyah said: “May the best heartbreaker win.” Currently, Indiyah still follows Dami on Instagram and hasn’t archived or deleted her posts, which include him.

Dami is also still following Indiyah, with his posts containing his ex-girlfriend still visible on his page.

The Mirror has approached representatives for Indiyah and Marlon for comment.

The OC actress Mischa Barton has praised Noel Gallagher as ‘the best’ in a BBC Radio 2 interview with Rylan Clark, discussing her experience working on his 2011 music video

Mischa Barton has revealed “the best” A-list star she’s worked with. The 39-year-old actress, who rose to fame portraying Marissa Cooper in the popular American teen drama, The OC, featured in several music videos during the 2000s. This includes her appearance in Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds’ 2011 track Everybody’s On The Run.

Despite their professional connection, she confessed that she missed Oasis during their reunion tour, branding herself a “bad superfan”. Discussing her experience working with Gallagher, she told Rylan Clark on BBC Radio 2: “He’s the best. He really, really, is the best.

“I’ve seen them before, but that’s no excuse. I’m a bad superfan.” Barton also starred in Enrique Iglesias’s music video for his song Addicted and James Blunt’s Goodbye My Lover. She reminisced: “That was the era of really big music videos. It was a big deal. They were fun to do.

“James Blunt one was fun. I didn’t actually act opposite him in it. It was a whole storyline but it was fun, shot in the Hollywood Hills. And the Enrique one was really fun too. It was actually directed by Peter Berg, so it was a really cool, really interesting shoot. And Enrique was lovely and, I mean, isn’t he just the coolest?”.

The OC aired from 2003 until 2007, with Barton’s character meeting a tragic end in a shocking twist at the conclusion of the third series, which she described as “a big moment” for viewers.

She added: “A whole different generation is watching it now too and they’re surprised. People would come up to me in the airport, crying, very emotionally moved by the fact.”

The remarks come as Barton prepares for her UK stage debut in Double Indemnity. Her previous credits include the 1999 romantic comedy Notting Hill, psychological thriller The Sixth Sense, and, most recently, the mystery Murder at the Embassy.

In 2023, Mischa planned a move to London and had her heart set on a part in the West End as she prepared to capitalise on her triumphant return to acting following her new role in iconic Aussie soap, Neighbours.

The Hollywood star was born on British shores and considered making London her permanent home, according to showbiz pals. Mischa, who shot to fame playing Marissa Cooper in the hit US teen drama The OC in 2003, starred in the revived Australian soap Neighbours.

The iconic show aired what was thought to be its last ever episode in July 2022 – bringing the show to an end after 37 years, as the soap lost its financial backing. However, Amazon came to the rescue to give Neighbours a new lease of life – and brand new episodes went live on Amazon every Monday.

At the time, opening up about joining the long-running soap, the Hollywood star explained: “I’m excited to be part of this iconic show’s next chapter, and I am really looking forward to being back in Australia, a place I know and love!

“I think the character of Reece is going to be a great role for me to explore and play with.” Neighbours’ executive producer Jason Herbison said: “With Neighbours launching on Amazon Freevee in North America, we are beyond excited to have an actor of Mischa’s calibre join us for the beginning of this exciting new chapter.

“Mischa’s character is dynamic and unpredictable and will have an instant presence on Ramsay Street. Our loyal viewers are going to love her, locally and abroad.”

The soap, which first aired in 1985, is returning with a new series in August.

Davina McCall has been open about her recovery following breast cancer treatment, which came around a year after she underwent surgery to remove a benign brain tumour

Davina McCall, who will be back on the panel for tonight’s episode of The Masked Singer, has received dietary advice from celebrated food writer and entrepreneur Ella Woodward.

The 58-year-old presenter sat down with Ella, also known as Deliciously Ella, on her Begin Again podcast, where she revealed how her cancer diagnosis prompted her to reconsider her eating habits.

Davina, the former Big Brother presenter, had surgery for breast cancer last October, roughly a year after having a benign brain tumour removed.

Since her diagnosis and subsequent treatment, Davina has been forthcoming about her recovery journey and the ways in which cancer has influenced her outlook on life.

During their conversation about organic produce, Davina explained that following her cancer diagnosis, she considered switching to “go organic everything”.

This discussion arose after Ella mentioned she would “renege on” advising people to “eat organic when possible”. Davina then questioned whether her commitment to organic food was “silly”.

Ella responded: “It’s not silly. It’s just there’s not huge evidence. I think there’s, if you can and it’s available, like, great, but it’s not a prerequisite. It’s a lot more expensive…I would scrap it.

“Because I think that if you feel you’ve got to do all of that, that comes back to making it just be like, it’s not going to happen.”

Ella isn’t alone in questioning the benefits of organic produce. The NHS Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust has previously addressed common misconceptions surrounding cancer and nutrition, specifically dismissing claims that cancer patients must exclusively consume organic food.

According to the Trust: “Organic foods are grown or processed without pesticides or herbicides. Some studies have found higher levels of some nutrients in organic food but results are not consistent.

“It is more important to include a variety of plant foods in your diet. There is no current evidence to suggest that organic produce can help reduce the risk of cancer more than non-organic.”

Separately, Davina has revealed how her diagnosis prompted significant lifestyle changes, including a reduction in her working schedule.

During an appearance on the Miss Me? podcast, Davina disclosed she had cut her working week down to four days, explaining how her health scare led her to reassess her priorities.

She reflected: “Change was something that really frightened me. I always loved the status quo, knowing what I was doing and feeling safe in that. What has happened, actually, is that I have realised that all my really big growth has come from change, and often quite painful change.
