It was Stephen Graham to the rescue after Owen Cooper almost spilled too much on what’s next for him – nearly revealing all before the big news has been officially confirmed

Protective Stephen Graham had to pull his on-screen son into line after Owen Cooper nearly let slip some secrets.
The teenager won the award for his lead role in drama series Adolescence, which impressed on Netflix earlier this year. After collecting the award at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles, the young star spoke about stepping out of his comfort zone and of course praised his co-stars after becoming the youngest ever male winner of an acting Emmy.
He had Stephen for thank again during an interview at a BAFTA tea party in Los Angeles at The Maybourne Beverly Hills Hotel. The 15-year-old was asked by a reporter about what’s next – and if he had any upcoming roles in the pipeline following the series’ incredible success.

“Well, yeah, Wuthering Heights is coming out,” Owen said, discussing his in Emerald Fennell’s adaptation of the iconic novel, before going on to let the cat out of bag, saying: “I’ve got a comedy series coming out and…” But before he could spill any further details, Stephen – cutting in – decided to cut him off.
He interjected: “You can’t speak about some of the stuff!” Owen, fearing he had just landed himself in it, backtracked. “You can’t speak about some stuff,” the young actor said, trying to rescue the situation. “Just wait and see.” The pair smiled after Stephen saved the young star some trouble from his agent!
After his Emmy win, Owen encouraged people to “step out of your comfort zone a little” as he gave his acceptance speech upon collecting his award. The lad, from Warrington, Cheshire, said: “I was nothing about three years ago, I’m here now. Step out of your comfort zone a little, who cares if you get embarrassed.”
Addressing the crowd at the theatre in America, Owen continued: “I was nothing about three years ago, and now here I am.” Speaking to reporters moments after his win, he added: “It means some much to me. It means so much to me, my family, people back home. So, you know, it’s just, yeah, it just means a lot to me.”
A journalist asks him how his friends would react to his win. Cooper said they might not be awake yet “because it’s four in the morning at home”, before adding: “They’ll be all over the moon, yes.”
In the gripping Netflix series, Cooper delivers a compelling performance as Jamie, a 13 year old boy detained under suspicion of murdering a female classmate. Stephen Graham, Cooper’s co-star, hailed him as a “rare talent” on The One Show, comparing the prodigious actor to the legendary Robert De Niro.
During filming, Owen disclosed that Adolescence was gaining such traction on Netflix that his fellow actors couldn’t ignore it. “They were all saying how big the show’s gone,” he shared with a grin.
“And they were sick of seeing me on TV and stuff. That’s what Jacob said. Margot said that she was dying to watch it.” Both audiences and critics have unanimously hailed Adolescence as a “masterpiece” making it an essential addition to your watchlist if you’ve yet to discover this gem.
Countryfile presenter Julia Bradbury, 55, stripped completely naked to celebrate her new book, Hack Yourself Healthy, becoming a No.1 bestseller in the Sunday Times
Julia Bradbury is celebrating her new book’s success in a unique way – by posing completely nude in her latest social media post.
The 55-year-old Countryfile presenter, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in September 2021, covered her modesty with her hands while being filmed in the shower by one of her children upon hearing the news.
She was overjoyed to announce to her Instagram followers that her book, Hack Yourself Healthy, has become a No. 1 Sunday Times Best Seller.
In her caption, she wrote: ‘This is what a mini life changing moment looks like. OMG No.1 !!!! I can’t believe, in it’s week of release Hack Yourself Healthy has made it to Number One in the Sunday Times Best Seller’s list. This is a big deal for me and my family and I’m so so grateful.

The TV presenter is celebrating the success of her latest book(Image: Instagram/ @juliabradbury)
“There are so many people to thank, from my amazing publishers @piatkus_living & the entire team, my co-writer @missysoliver who is so good at all the stuff I’m not, and my family and friends for putting up with me for two years and my excellent contributors and experts.”
She concluded with: “And a HUGE thank you to YOU, the readers. It’s just brilliant that a book about health has reached so many of you, and I know from all of your messages that you’re making changes and getting an incy bit of inspiration. Let’s keep Hacking Ourselves Healthy. Julia x.”
Julia then added in the comment section: “When a moment in the shower changes everything. well, just for this week anyway. Thank you! Thank you! You’ve made Hack Yourself Healthy a Number One best seller.”
This Morning host Ben Shephard was one of the first the comment on Julia’s post, telling the TV presenter: “Love it Bradders [fire emojis] congrats thoroughly deserved.”
“Well done indeed Julia. blinkin eck I thought I’d found your OF page then,” one fan joked underneath Julia’s update from the shower, as another quipped: “Seeing Julia Bradbury in the shower today wasn’t on my bingo card.”
Julia, who presented Countryfile and a number of other TV documentaries, opened up about life since being diagnosed with breast cancer four years ago during a candid chat with Lisa Salmon earlier this year.
The TV star’s stress hormones used to be so high that a doctor told her it was like she was being chased by a tiger all day. And then she got cancer.
Now, four years since she found a lump in her breast and had a mastectomy, Julia has turned her life around and has finally got the balance right.
“I didn’t have a very balanced life before cancer,” she admitted when speaking in June . “Now, I really do feel grateful for every day – balance is very, very important. I’ve had my cortisol [stress hormone] measured, and historically it’s been through the roof. As one doctor described it, I appeared to be being chased by a tiger all day.
“It’s something for everybody to be mindful of – we are human beings, not human doings. Even lions and tigers don’t hunt all day, they rest a lot, and that’s a good metaphor for us – you can’t be in hunting mode or being chased all the time.
“You have to find some time to rest and be calm, and find a little bit of security and peace somewhere where you’re not being chased.”
Julia now does breath work and meditation every morning at first light, meditates at night, and exercises regularly. She also journals and, perhaps most importantly, spends as much quality time as possible with her three children – Zephyr, 13, and her twin daughters Xanthe and Zena, 10.

“I really revel in being present with them and doing things with them that are nourishing and enriching – not big things, just being with them and spending time together is really, really important.”

H&M’s new autumn collection has landed(Image: H&M)
H&M has just dropped its new autumn collection, and it’s already becoming a hit with shoppers for being one of the most luxe-looking collections on the high street with affordable prices. The range taps into some of the season’s biggest trends, with preppy argyle knits, sharp tailoring, and rich chocolate brown staples that look far more expensive than their purse-friendly price tags.
Faux fur is also a prominent fabric seen in the collection, appearing on cosy outerwear and accessories that play into the popular ‘Mob wife’ trend from a few seasons ago.
While the majority of the collection has received praise for its chic, designer-looking vibe, there’s one item in particular that has divided opinion online: a pair of faux fur heels. The Court Shoes, priced at £37.99 have caused quite a stir, leading to shoppers sharing their reactions on social media, with some jokingly comparing the statement shoes to “hobbit feet”.

The Penguin star Colin Farrell has spoken about his family over the years, including his two sons, Henry Farrell and James Farrell, whom he has described as the ‘loves of his life’

Nominee Colin Farrell was joined by one of his children at the Emmy Awards last night. The Penguin star and his youngest son posed on the red carpet together ahead of this year’s winners being announced in the ceremony.
Colin, 49, was among those nominated in the Lead Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series category at the annual event in the US for his role in the HBO show. The accolade was instead given to fellow nominee Stephen Graham, who won the award for his performance in Netflix’s Adolescence.
At the ceremony in Los Angeles, Colin was joined by his son Henry Farrell, 15, with them having posed for photos in their black suits whilst on the red carpet together. He was previously accompanied by Henry to the Oscars in 2023.

Henry, whose mother is actor Alicja Bachleda-Curuś, 42, is the youngest of Colin’s two children. Colin and Alicja, who were co-stars on the film Ondine (2009), were said to have separated a year after their son was born in 2009.
Whilst at the Oscars two years ago, Henry was asked by Extra if Colin is a “disciplinarian” as a parent. After being warned to “be careful” by his father, who also teased that $20 could be his, Henry said: “No, he’s definitely nice!”
It’s also been teased that Henry is a critic of Colin’s work. Asked if his children are honest with him, Colin told Extra last year that they would be while providing feedback, but added that they would also be “sensitive” to his feelings.
Colin is also a parent to eldest son James Farrell, 22, whose mother is model Kim Bordenave, 53. Colin has previously shared that James, whose parents split in 2003, was diagnosed with Angelman syndrome when he was a child.
According to the NHS, Angelman syndrome is “a rare genetic condition that affects the nervous system and causes severe physical and learning disabilities”. It adds that people with the condition will need support throughout their life.

Colin, who has said that James was initially misdiagnosed with cerebral palsy, has spoken about his eldest son on occasions over the years. He once told People that James, who is said to be non-verbal, taking his first steps shortly before his fourth birthday had been “profound” and “magic”. He added: “I’ll never forget just the face of determination on him as he walked toward me. He took like six steps, and I burst into tears.”
As previously reported, more recently, Colin told Candis Magazine that he had made the decision for James to live in a long-term care facility. Colin said that he “respects” parents who want to look after their children themselves before adding: “But my horror would be… What if I have a heart attack tomorrow, and, God forbid, James’ mother, Kim, has a car crash and she’s taken too – and then James is on his own?”
Colin said: “Then he’s a ward of the state and he goes where?” He added that James’ parents would have “no say in it” and they were said to be looking for somewhere for him now so they can visit him and take him out. Colin said: “We want him to find somewhere where he can have a full and happy life, where he feels connected.”
Last year, the Colin Farrell Foundation, which is “committed to transforming the lives of individuals and families living with intellectual disability,” launched. Speaking to People amid the launch, he said that once someone turns 21 they are “kind of on their own,” adding: “All the safeguards that are put in place, special ed classes, that all goes away, so you’re left with a young adult who should be an integrated part of our modern society and more often than not is left behind.”

Colin described his children as the “loves of his life” during his acceptance speech at the Golden Globes in 2023. He won Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy Motion Picture for his role in the film the Banshees of Inisherin (2022). The actor said in his speech: “My kids at home who are watching this, James and Henry, the loves of my life, I love you so much.”
He has also mentioned other relatives in the past. Colin paid tribute to his family at the Screen Actors Guild Awards in February. It came after he won Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Television Movie or Limited Series for his role as Oswald Cobb, also known as the Penguin, in the Penguin.
Colin mentioned his siblings Eamon Farrell, Catherine Farrell and Claudine Farrell in the speech. It included thanking Claudine, whom he said has worked with him for more 20 years. He went on to say that Catherine had been the first actor in the family, adding whilst on stage: “[She] showed me that that was a possibility that you could pursue that passion.”
He then paid tribute to his parents, Rita Farrell and the late Eamon Farrell, and his children. Colin said in his speech: “My mum, Rita, my dad, Eamon, and the two people in my life who have made my life so much more special and so much more meaningful and so much more joyful than I ever truly thought possible – my son James and my son Henry.
Two months later, it was announced in April that Colin’s father Eamonn had died, aged 83, “after a long illness”. As previously reported, he later paid tribute in a eulogy to the former Shamrock Rovers F.C. player at his funeral.
Colin said: “It seems impossible to try and encapsulate all that you meant to me in 48 years of being father and son. I suppose I should start with a simple truth. I’m so glad you were my dad. We had our share of tricky enough times along the path, but what fathers and sons don’t. But as I grew into manhood, and particularly as I too became a dad, all I could and can remember are the good times. More importantly, all I can feel are the good times we shared.”

Busted star James Bourne has announced he has quit the band’s joint tour with McFly just hours before it kicks off. He is due on stage with the two bands tomorrow night, but released a bombshell statement confirming he won’t be there.
In a post, James explained: “The VS tour kicks off tomorrow night in Birmingham and as excited as l’ve been all year for this tour to begin, I’m really sorry to say that over the last 8 days it has become clear that I am not in good enough health to play these shows 🙁
“There’s a lot of information I still don’t have about my condition but my bandmates, management and I are unanimous in deciding that I should focus on the medical stuff for now.

He issued a statement to his followers just a day before the tour
“I really hope I can be in a position to come back further down the line. It’s still going to. be an amazing show and I will miss being there! See you all as soon as possible.”
After years of battling the charts, Busted and McFly decided to come together for a UK tour, performing their greatest hits back to back across one massive night of entertainment.
McFly’s Harry Judd shared his disappointment at James not being able to tour with them as he said: “Won’t be the same without you dude. Hope you’re back on Tour asap.”
Danny Jones shared James’ statement to his fans and added: “Get well soon mate.” Busted bandmate Matt Willis commented: “Love you brother…”
The bands are due to kick off the show in Birmingham tomorrow night, before heading to London’s O2 Arena. McFly and Busted are set to head to Cardiff, Sheffield, Leeds, Aberdeen, Glasgow, Liverpool, Newcastle, Nottingham, Manchester, Dublin and Belfast before bringing the tour to a close at London’s O2 Arena on November 1.
Following James’ bombshell news, fans have rushed to share their support as they urged him to “Get well soon.” Another added: “Get well soon brother.”
Someone else commented: “Aww, wishing you a speedy recovery James.” A fourth wrote: “Oh nooooo JB!!!!!!!!!!! WE WILL MISSS YOUUUUU!!!! Hope you’re okay.”

The two bands, who previously played as McBusted, said they wanted to come together for the tour to go head-to-head in a bid to steal each other’s fans. Busted – which includes James, Matt Willis and Charlie Simpson – will tour with McFly’s Harry Judd, Dougie Poynter, Tom Fletcher and Danny Jones.
It’s not the first time the bands have been on tour together – uniting in 2014 for the McBusted tour. The idea was sparked after Busted’s Matt and James joined their McFly pals as special guests as they performed a number of gigs at the Royal Albert Hall.
The pair were on hiatus after Charlie Simpson quit Busted in 2005 to focus on his post-hardcore band Fightstar. Charlie then went back to Busted for a reunion tour and new music in 2015.
Last year, Harry told us: “We’ve been talking about this for years, it’s only now it’s the right time so it’s come together. The idea is that each band will perform, then we’ll come together to battle it out.
“There’ll be laser beams shooting out of guitars, and at the end some kind of winner.” James added: “I love the idea of it being a McFly show, and then they sing Bubble Wrap – and the first you see of Busted is Charlie coming down from the ceiling like an angel, singing the chorus.
“I’ve got a hundred of those ideas. I wanted to have the intro like in ET, with seven of us flying in on BMX bikes in the sky. That would be epic.”

With it suddenly feeling like autumn is well and truly here, this new beauty box is the perfect way to adapt your routine to the cooler weather – and for an incredible price

How to get £95 worth of beauty for under £9(Image: Laura Mulley)
As soon as September arrives and the temperature starts to drop, I switch straight into autumn mode – lighting pumpkin-scented candles, digging out my knitwear and reaching for more nourishing beauty products to combat the effects of the cold. And for the latter, I’ve found a real bargain.
One of the UK’s best value beauty subscription services, OK! Beauty Box, has just dropped its latest edit, and it’s absolutely perfect for this time of year. Called the Fall Into Beauty Edit, the box contains five seasonal skin, hair and body treats worth over £95 in total, but if you’re a new subscriber you can get it for just £8.99 when you sign up – that’s a huge £86 saving.

I’ve already got my hands on this month’s box, and it’s exactly what my beauty routine needs at this time of year. I love a face mist for adding extra hydration to my skin without any heaviness, the priming moisturiser (worth an impressive £45 on its own) feels really smoothing on the skin and, as I’ve just switched up my hair colour for autumn, the shampoo and conditioner help to keep my bleached strands feeling healthy.
My favourite product inside, however, is the Nail Kind nail polish. Although not the most expensive, I wear a deep red like this one almost exclusively throughout autumn and winter, so I’m thrilled to see this in the box.
Some highlights from the box(Image: Laura Mulley)
Signing up to OK! Beauty Box’s monthly subscription service gets you a box of beauty products delivered every month for £15 after your first £8.99 box, and they’re always worth at least £80 in total, so it’s a great way to give yourself a little treat each month.
Another great thing about OK! Beauty Box is that it’s super flexible, allowing you to skip, pause or cancel your boxes easily anytime.
Lookfantastic also does its own monthly subscription service for £15 a month, or £13 a month if you sign up to 12 months of deliveries. This month’s contains brands such as Elemis, Pixi and Rituals.

Meanwhile this time of year means that beauty advent calendars have started dropping. Boots sells a number of different ones but we’re particularly taken by the 24 Days Of Skincare Advent Calendar, which costs £70 but is worth £289.
