David Walliams is said to be eyeing up a huge move to Netflix. The Little Britain star, 54, is reportedly keen to take his comedy show created with Matt Lucas, which was a huge hit on the BBC 20 years ago, to the streaming platform because on “Netflix you can’t get cancelled”.

The actor and author made the comments after being dropped by his publisher, Harper Collins, last month, following allegations he had harassed junior female members of staff, which he denied.

The publishing company paused any new books from the actor, and book store Waterstones removed David from its Children’s Book Festival line-up.

Meanwhile, charity organisation The Children’s Trust dropped the dad-of-one as an ambassador, and the BBC confirmed it had no future work for David, despite still airing a Christmas episode of Would I Lie To You? he was part of.

After the BBC removed the drama for homophobic, transphobic, and racist scenes, David says he still wants to watch it until an edited version can be uploaded.

He claimed in a Q&amp, A that he believed the sketch show had a future and that it had a large following in 2003 to 2006.

When asked if there was a chance it could make a comeback, David said, according to The Sun: “Yes, I think so – I mean, it’s a different world now, isn’t it?”

Citing the likes of comedians Chris Rock and Ricky Gervais on the streaming platform – with The Office icon, Ricky, 64, releasing a new special, Mortality, on Netflix in December, David continued: “Ricky I saw live recently, and I was shocked – not in a bad way, but even I was going, ‘Oh my goodness’ – and they’re all on Netflix.

You kind of can’t get cancelled there, he said. Netflix won’t lose any viewers. I believe it’s entirely different from what might have happened previously.

David, who was sacked from Britain’s Got Talent for making crude remarks about contestants, was once the king of comedy, but last year, in his biggest fall from grace so far, the comedian was let go by his publisher Harper Collins after many lucrative years.

The publisher announced that they had cut ties with David following allegations of inappropriate behavior toward young women, which he denies, despite the fact that his career may have seemed pretty bulletproof with a number of initiatives under his belt that have helped him build his incredible fortune of approximately £17 million.

A spokesperson said in a statement on his behalf that “David has never been informed of any allegations made against him by HarperCollins.”

He was not the subject of any inquiries or given a chance to respond. David takes legal advice and vehemently denies that he has behaved inappropriately.

Emma Stone, an Oscar-winning actor, has recently flaunted her red carpet appearances, sparkling questions as to whether or not she has undergone surgery or just has a bit of make-up.

Emma Stone’s striking new look has received a lot of attention on social media recently. The La La Land actress chopped her auburn hair into a pixie cut earlier this year, which is now turning into a super-cool chin-length bob. But it’s not just this that is getting people talking.

Some people speculated that the 37-year-old’s face also looks different, with her eye area slightly raised, her eyes slightly raised, and she may have had cosmetic or surgical procedures like an eyelid surgery or brow lift.

I’ve tried one of her make-up techniques on my own hooded eyes, so maybe she had it, or maybe it’s just a few clever make-up tricks…

According to my analysis of some recent red carpet photos of Emma’s make-up, the main change has been with her eyeliner application technique (or rather, her make-up artist’s). She used to wear a very thick line of eyeliner that would typically extend from the very center of her eyes outwards, but now she appears to prefer a very thin line of liquid eyeliner that doesn’t extend far enough and ends in a subtle flick.

Nina Park, Emma’s makeup artist, has used this technique on Sadie Sink recently too, extending the entire eye without taking up too much space for the lid.

For its super-smooth nib and blacker-than-black pigment, Dior Diorshow Liquid Liner, £35, is a good high-street alternative. To replicate this appearance, you need a very fluid, very smooth black liquid felt tip-style liner that won’t drag or skip on the lid.

Then draw the thinnest line you can, as close to the lashes as you can, drawing the thinnest line possible starting at the innermost corner, ending with a tiny lift at the outermost corner. Press the liner directly into the hairs to make it appear like it’s part of the eyelashes. You can also do dots between or underneath the lash line with your pen.

My eyes looked drastically changed as a result, in my opinion. Although I typically only use liquid eyeliners, I would typically keep any liner to the outer half, but this method really made my eyes look longer and lifted. Add to this a brow that has been brushed more straight than arched, and voila! I have a new favorite make-up method for me.

I also used Morphe Solo Artist Priming Cream Eyeshadow in the shade Chorus, £19.99, REFY Brow Sculpt, £18, and my new go-to one-and-done eyeshadow, Glow For It Lash Focus Mascara, £19.99.

As Spencer Matthews’ and the family’s three children prepare to move to their “forever home,” Vogue Williams has released an “emotional” video.

Vogue Williams, a TV personality, acknowledged that she was feeling “emotional” as she revealed a “significant shift in her family’s life.”

As they prepare to move into their “dream” forever home, the mother of three and her husband, Spencer Matthews, are bid farewell to their £42.5 million apartment.

Vogue, 40, made a video available on YouTube that showed their now-empty apartment as they prepared to leave.

She admitted to speaking to her viewers, “I mean, I didn’t feel emotional today, but I do.” Because we’ve obviously lived here for so long, it’s kind of enthralling to watch it this way.

“I haven’t really thought about it because it’s been so full on with the move that I haven’t thought about how I feel about moving. And although I feel sad, I know we’re getting our real forever home now in London,” reports the Irish Mirror.

Vogue, a reality TV personality, and Spencer-Theodore, a model, have three kids with Gigi, a five-year-old, and Otto, a three-year-old.

Two years ago, the opulent couple’s chic Battersea apartment was first listed for sale. After that, they finally reached a deal, lowering the asking price by a sizable £1 million.

The family is renting a home while they work on renovations for 18 months.

I’m A Celebrity contestant Vogue guided fans through the empty apartment, stating: “We sold our apartment. It’s gone. End of an era. The apartment is gone.

Because we purchased our ideal home, we have a rental nearby so that the kids can attend school.

Vogue lamented in her dressing room, “Wow, how I already miss you,” as well as the bedroom, which had been transformed into a home gym.

That’s strange to see it this way, she continued. The new owners have arrived with everything ready. We’ve just completely cleaned them.

It’s nice to see it, the new owners will have access to beautiful memories here, too.

Vogue and Spencer first crossed paths when they were both contestants on Channel 4 reality TV show The Jump in 2017.

After only six months of dating, they actually tied the knot the following year.

Vogue stated last year that “our apartment in London is fantastic” when discussing the reasons for relocating. The children cannot go downstairs on their own because there are two floors.

Vogue explained last year that “it just doesn’t work for our family at that age.”

It’s too small, they say. So we’re just trying to find a little more room, right?”

A stirring drama based on the misadventures of two young football fans, which first appeared in a small youth club before moving to the West End, stars Corrie and Emmerdale are treading the boards.

Gerry & Sewell, a tragicomedy about two hard-up, reprobate football fans in Gateshead hoping to score season tickets for their favourite team, Newcastle United, sees two veritable soap legends join forces on the London stage.

Katherine Dow Blyton, famed for playing vicar Harriet Fincher in the Dales until 2022, plays Gerry’s long-suffering mum, Mrs McCarten, while Bill Fellows, known for his recent three-year stint as Stu Carpenter in Corrie, as well as Ted Lasso, takes on the role of his troubled and abusive father.

The play, which has a limited run until this Sunday in London before heading to Newcastle in June, is no walk in the park. Yet as one of its stars, North Shields-born Blyton – currently appearing in Sheffield-based boxing biopic Giant with Bond star Piers Brosnan, tells the Mirror, it’s one that will no doubt stay with audiences longer after they’ve left the theatre.

At the end of the day, she says, “It’s not really a story about the footie, is it?” When all hope seems lost, it’s about holding onto it and the bonds of family, struggle, shame, love.

The play simply has “so much heart,” I love it. And of course, as a person from the north east myself, I can attest how much of the characters’ spirit, how they speak, and how they handle the challenges that life throws their way, can be attributed to.

The stage production, which is based on the movie Purely Belter, fuses comedy, song, dance, and family drama.

Arousing football chant that the audience joined in with last Thursday night’s gala performance was the opening act, which was carried out in their seats, with black and white flags flying in their faces. It’s a high-energy start to a journey that “won’t let the audience down,” according to Blyton.

And there were Geordie accents everywhere, including proud Vera star Brenda Blethyn who also attended to watch the show’s London debut.

This play has its own incredible rags-to-riches story just like its two lead characters, who are brilliantly played by Dean Logan (Gerry) and Jack Robertson (Sewell) dredge the Tyne, meet some vibrant local characters and happily beg, steal, and borrow in their quest for those crucial season tickets to see the “Black and White Army.”

Its subtle yet powerful criticism of the politics and social austerity of the region that so many suffer from has now taken a run in the bright lights of the West End, where it first appeared in a modest 60-seat social club in north Tyneside in 2022.

The humour, the music, and the heart, which are a guiding thread throughout this stirring production, make the themes manageable even when they can be difficult to swallow.

It is quite wonderful to see such a proudly regional story told in the heart of London’s West End. May it be the first of many more…

After a terrifying road collision this January, Lily Allen appears to have been shaken up, and her Porsche has also suffered damage.

Lily Allen thanked her lucky stars for keeping her Porsche in good health by posting a photo of it online.

The 40-year-old singer and podcaster took to Instagram to share details of being “ran off the road” this January. She said: “Could have done without an HGV running me off the road but other than that a relatively good start to 2026.” Lily also attached a picture of her luxury motor, which shows the paintwork has been scratched off the sides and around the wheel. It is likely to have occurred when the collision happened.

In response to the ordeal, she said, “happy to be alive,” and she responded with four words. She also made fun of how other celebrities had a great year.

As part of a viral trend, many people have been posting images from a decade ago to their social media pages, which Lily doesn’t seem to have found to be particularly impressive. She made a joke about not posting any photos taken in 2016 while still alive.

In just a few minutes, more than 11, 000 people viewed the Instagram post, and they left support messages in the comments section.

One person wrote, “Happy you’re alright! That’s terrifying. Another person remarked, “Omg the new Porche.” “Happy you’re safe, Lily,” wrote a third person. Another person responded, “Thank God you’re all okay.”

Despite the road collision, Lily appears to have had some positive memories this January.

She shared a photo of herself wearing a baseball cap and bikini while relaxing in the sun. She also shared photos of the items she and other people have ate this month. Additionally, she appears to have taken some flights and taken some lovely sunsets.

Following the release of her critically acclaimed fifth studio album, West End Girl, the actress has a string of successful appearances.

After a seven-year hiatus for the singer, BMG released this record on October 24, 2025. It’s a deeply personal collection of songs that combines fictionalized elements with her signature soft, sweet, and calming vocals to give the songs devastating insight into her marriage to Stranger Things alum David Harbour.

Lily has confirmed that she will be putting together a West End Girl concert tour in March 2026, having announced it on October 30, 2025. The tour will take place at various prestigious venues, including the London Palladium, across the UK.

Due to high demand, she will be performing the songs chronologically in November 2025, adding a second leg to her tour for June 2026, which will be performed at arena venues, including The O2.

Meanwhile, Lily first shot to fame after posting songs to MySpace in 2005 which subsequently led to some of her tracks being played on BBC Radio 1 and a record deal.

Her debut album Alright, Still confirmed her status as a reckoned-out popstar force while her debut single Smile, which was released in July 2006, propelled her to stardom.

She was nominated for thecoveted Laurence Olivier Award after making her West End stage debut in the horror-comedy 2: 22 A Ghost Story. She has since won a BRIT and a Grammy nomination.
