Ed Sheeran and Bridgerton’s Phoebe Dynevor got close in the new music video for his song Camera, which features on his latest album Play. The highly anticipated eighth album is released today (12 September).
The singer celebrated the release of his latest record by dropping the official music video for Camera. The video stars Bridgerton icon Phoebe Dynevor. Directed by Emil Nava, the same person who worked with Ed on the Lego House music video starring Rupert Grint, the Camera music video focuses on the early stages of a relationship.
It’s all shot on an iPhone and shows Ed and Phoebe’s characters first meeting at a restaurant, followed by moments from various dates, such as picnics, bar-hopping and even sharing the stage at one of Ed’s stadium tours.

When announcing the project, Ed revealed he had considered using real-life footage of him and his wife, Cherry. But, ultimately, he chose to keep those moments private and recreate them instead.
“My original Camera music video idea was using private home footage of mine and Cherry’s key moments of our relationship,” Ed said.
“But as you guys know, we are an intensely private couple, and some things we wanted to keep just for us. So, I recreated a few key moments of our relationship for the music video with the wonderful Phoebe Dynevor.”
Ed’s latest album has been described by the singer as “a direct response” to the “darkest period of my life”. He explained in a press release that he “wanted to create joy and technicolour, and explore cultures in countries I was touring.”
The singer is no stranger to travelling the world and has recently stated he has plans to move to the United States with his family. His reasoning was that he has a massive tour planned and doesn’t want to leave Cherry or his two daughters, Lyra and Jupiter, in Suffolk. And though he grew up in Suffolk, where the family currently lives, he also spent a lot of time in Ireland as a child, as his father hails from Belfast.
Due to his father’s heritage and how often he spent time in the country, Ed once referred to himself as “culturally” Irish, sparking backlash. On the Louis Theroux Podcast, he said: “I class my culture as Irish. I think that’s what I grew up with. My dad’s family is … he’s got seven brothers and sisters. We’d spend all of our holidays in Ireland.

“My first musical experiences were in Ireland, I grew up with trad music in the house. So I identify culturally as Irish, but I was obviously born and raised in Britain.”

He went on to say that he thought of Ireland as his “second home musically” and added that it is the place he is the most successful. The Galway Girl singer said he didn’t “overthink” it and was proud of his culture and identity.
“I don’t overthink it but I do feel like my culture is something that I’m really proud of.”
Award-winning TV star Jeremy Clarkson has shared his thoughts on celebrities that are choosing to buy properties in the Cotswolds and move to the picturesque region

The beautiful Cotswolds never ceases to wow visitors thanks to it’s picturesque, sweet chocolate-box villages with cosy countryside pubs and incredible gardens. Some have become so obsessed with the incredible region that they have decided to call it home – including a number of celebrities.
The Beckhams have set up home as has Kate Moss. Simon Cowell is also rumoured to have a home in the Cotswolds. Plus the King famously has a home in Tetbury. It seems US celebrities have also shown an interest as Ellen DeGeneres is rumoured to have bought a £15million Cotswolds farmhouse, while Taylor Swift rented a mansion in the Cotswolds during her Eras tour in 2024.
And recently, it’s been reported that Beyoncé and Jay-Z are in the final stages of purchasing land with the intent to build a “mega-estate” on the edge of Wigginton, an Oxfordshire village which currently boasts a population of under 200.
Mr and Mrs Carter, who are reportedly worth around $3.4billion (£2.5billion) – making them the richest celebrity couple in the world – are reportedly paying a £7.5million fee for property. The couple reportedly began searching for new places to live during the LA wildfires earlier this year.
It seems that the quiet nature of the area appeals to people, but could celebrities moving to the Cotswolds change it?

Speaking to The Times, an employee of The Falkland Arms in Great Tew, where the Beckhams live, said: “We love our local clientele and we don’t want the couple’s [Jay-Z and Beyonce’s] arrival to bring in a different sort.”
Recently former Top Gear star and Cotswolds farmer Jeremy Clarkson shared his take on the countryside spot becoming more popular with A-Listers. Clarkson moved to the Cotswolds in 2008 when he bought the 1,000-acre Diddly Squat Farm in Chipping Norton, West Oxfordshire. He and his partner Lisa Hogan live in a mansion on the estate.
While celebrating his Amazon Prime video show, Clarkson’s Farm, winning Best Factual Entertainment Programme at the National Television Awards recently, Jeremy was asked what he thought about Beyoncé and Jay-Z buying a home in the Costwolds.

In a clip shared on TikTok by Yahoo News, Jeremy said: “I have literally no clue who they are. I mean I’ve vaguely heard of Beyonce Jay-Zed but I honestly don’t know who they are.”
He added: “And everybody says the Cotswolds is being taken over by celebrities and… you just think, well I don’t see them. I look out of my window in a morning and I don’t see them.”

The British TV presenter took to Instagram this week to show off an outfit that had her feeling conflicted. Telling fans, “Red Denim was not a look I thought was for me,” Ranvir looked stunning in a vibrant denim midi that’s still available to shop from the high street.
The exact dress Ranvir donned was this Denim Short-Sleeve Shirt Dress in Red from Karen Millen. It is not only still stocked in all sizes but is currently boasting a nifty 30% discount while this end-of-season sale lasts.

Ranvir told her followers, “I’m not sure what colour choice in your clothing says about your state of mind, but I’ve chosen red twice this week! Any armchair fashion psychologists out there, feel free to share your thoughts. Red Denim was not a look I thought was for me, but here we are! Walking into the weekend like…”
The dress Ranvir styled creates a refined, casual look that can be dressed up or down with ease. Combining timeless utility styling with contemporary flair, this dress can be styled with a slim belt to define the waist for an effortlessly stylish daytime ensemble or worn without, as Ranvir opted for, to create a more relaxed and casual vibe.
Made from durable cotton, this dress promises to remain a wardrobe staple for seasons to come. Thanks to the midi length, Ranvir’s ensemble offers a sophisticated touch to this casual classic. It is perfect for the woman who values both style and practicality in her everyday wardrobe, and is set to seamlessly become a go-to for workwear or casual events wardrobes.

Normally retailing for £139, Ranvir’s dress is currently reduced to £97.30 thanks to Karen Millen’s current sale. That said, it’s clearly not just the TV presenter who adores this fit, as a few sizes are now sold out. This item is still up for grabs in sizes 4, 8, 10 and 12.
A royal insider has claimed that the Duke of Sussex’s recent trip to the UK is part of the rehabilitation of his image, while also taking steps to mend his family’s ongoing rift

Prince Harry ‘regrets’ some of his divisive actions since he left the royal family, and is now hoping to ‘reset’ both his relationship with the public and his estranged family, according to a royal insider.
The Duke of Sussex left the UK yesterday after a whirlwind four-day trip to his home country, in which he attended the WellChild Awards on Monday, before travelling to a series of other charity engagements.
In between two important events on Wednesday, Harry made time to visit his estranged father King Charles at Clarence House in London, with their private tea lasting 55 minutes.

With their meeting – the first in 19 months – believed to have been successful, a royal insider told the Daily Mail that Harry’s conversation with his father is his way of paving the road to reconciliation, and trying to apologise to the royal family for his actions over the last five years.
An insider told the publication: “It’s become clear that Harry now regrets some of his actions. He wants to reset his relationship with his family and with the people of the UK.”
The source added that by Harry building bridges with his father, it will give King Charles a chance to have more of a relationship with his grandchildren, Archie and Lilibet, who live in California.

They said: “It’s hard to see [Harry] ever coming back to live in Britain but this may be the start of something that at least allows them to be a functioning wider family again.”
Just hours after Prince Harry’s meeting with King Charles, a spokesperson for the Duke of Sussex shared a statement that Harry “loved” being back in the UK and suggested the visit had gone well, saying: “He’s obviously loved being back in the UK, catching up with old friends, colleagues and just generally being able to support the incredible work of the causes that mean so much to him.”
While the meeting between Harry and Charles was a positive step in the right direction, it is unlikely to mean that a wider royal reconciliation will happen overnight.

Prince Harry, who is currently on a visit to Ukraine, has long shared that he “would love a reconciliation” with the royal family, telling the BBC in May: “There’s no point continuing to fight any more, life is precious.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Harry acknowledged that some of his family members would find it difficult to forgive him, after levelling several accusations against the royal family, but insisted he would like to rebuild the relationship with his father, especially in light of the King’s cancer diagnosis.
Love Island favourite finalists could be in trouble as one of the most loved contestants was reportedly seen holing hands with a Traitors star at the National Television Awards

One of Love Island’s most popular couples could be on the rocks after reports of a fallout at the National Television Awards on Wednesday night.
Beloved Love Island trio Shakira Khan, Toni Laites, and Yasmin Petett all reunited at the 2025 National Television Awards with their partners Harry Cooksley, Cach Mercer, and Jamie Rhodes. However, while two of the couples were glued to one another all night, one couple were reportedly ‘distant’ from one another.
Yasmin, 24, and Jamie, 26, arrived to the awards at London’s O2 Arena separately with brunette bombshell walking the red carpet and posing for pictures before her other half had even arrived. An hour later, Jamie turned up on the red carpet with the rest of his Love Island gang as he posed for photos alone.

While Yasmin and Jamie were later pictured together, reports have now suggested that there may have been a fallout during the night as Love Island finalist Yasmin, who was recently signed to a top modelling agency, was reportedly seen ‘holding hands’ with a very popular Traitors star.
According to Mail Online, Yasmin ‘abandoned’ Jamie after the awards ceremony and he was reportedly seen searching for her at the star-studded afterparty. Yasmin, who was playfully given the nickname YasGBT thanks to her posture in the Love Island villa, is said to have been seen ‘holding hands’ with Traitors star Freddie Fraser, 25, during the afterparty.
A source told the publication that the brunette bombshell looked cosy with Freddie and is believed to have whispered in his ear: “We need to go somewhere private, no one can see.”

“Yasmin and Jamie weren’t together at the party a lot at all, compared to Harry and Shakira and Cach and Toni, who were glued to each other’s sides. Then I saw her holding hands with Freddie and pulling him away. She said, ‘We need to go somewhere private, no one can see.’ I was totally shocked because I loved them on the show and they seemed like the best connection,” the insider claimed.
At the end of the night, Jamie was one of the last celebrities to leave the afterparty as he searched for Yasmin and tried calling her but to little success.
It comes after Love Island fan-favourite Yasmin revealed last month that she and Jamie had not yet been intimate following their time in the Spanish villa. The ITV2 icon was heartbroken after leaving the show as her beloved cat Miaow Miaow passed away while she was filming.
After leaving the villa, she revealed: “As I’ve spoken about her on the show, I’m sure a lot of you will know I have a cat called miaow miaow who’s been by my side for 11 years now. When I was filming Love Island I had a bad gut feeling something was off and when my mum and sister came into the villa I asked them and still felt like something was off.”

Revealing that her family chose not to tell of her of the tragedy at the time and she was informed by her sister once filming had finished, she added: “Rightfully they didn’t tell me because I was still in the villa but after the final I called my sister and she told me that miaow miaow had cancer and died whilst I was away filming Love Island.
“I’m trying to be as active as I can on socials, but am taking time for myself to process this heartbreak., RIP to my beautiful baby girl, you were so loved and will always be in my soul.”
The star has been grieving the loss, and Jamie has been providing her with emotional support. In a recent interview, Yasmin revealed there has been ‘no rush’ in their romance.
“I’ve been going through grief and Jamie will just sit there when I cry on him,” Yas said to The Sun. “I’ve taken a lot of time to process my emotions, so Jamie and I haven’t been intimate yet. He’s so patient. He’s never rushed that, because he knows it will happen at the right time.”

The Mirror has approached Yasmin and Jamie’s representatives for comment on this story.
