KING Charles is filming a documentary for Netflix – three years after Harry and Meghan released their six-part tell-all with the streaming giant.

Charles will be joined by actor Idris Elba to showcase the success over the past 50 years of The King’s Trust.

The documentary begins filming next month and is set to hit screens next autumn.

It comes after wayward son Prince Harry and Meghan Markle signed a 100-million deal with the streaming giants and slammed the royals in their six-part documentary.

While Netflix has also now come in as a partner with Meghan’s As Ever food brand.

And it also came under fire for bending the truth with controversial storylines on The Crown.

Luther star Idris, 52, was the beneficiary of a grant from the Trust when he was a struggling actor.

The series will celebrate 50 years of the Trust and tell the story of some of the one young people the charity has helped around the world.

One of Charles’s former most senior aides, Eva Omaghomi, is credited as an executive producer.

At its heart, this is a documentary about the power of believing in young people

Jonathan Townsend, UK Chief Executive of The King’s Trust

Idris Elba, Actor and Founder of the Elba Hope Foundation, said: “The King’s Trust gave me an opportunity that changed my life. At a time when I didn’t have the resources to pursue my ambitions, they offered real, practical support – including financial help — that helped me take those first steps to advance my career.

“Today, through the Elba Hope Foundation, I’m focused on creating those same opportunities for young people who are full of potential but lacking access. Around the world, millions are still waiting for that one door to open. This documentary is about shining a light on what’s possible when it does — and why the work of The King’s Trust remains so important.”

Jonathan Townsend, UK Chief Executive of The King’s Trust: “At its heart, this is a documentary about the power of believing in young people.

“It’s about an idea, driven by a young Prince who was determined to make a positive difference, that when young people are supported to succeed, we all succeed.

“Almost 50 years on, the momentum behind this idea has seen more than 1.3 million young people supported in over 20 countries around the world, including more than a million in the UK alone, through the work of The King’s Trust.

He added: “Nobody understands the impact of this work better than those who have experienced the support we offer first hand.

The King is pleased for The Trust to have this wonderful opportunity to showcase their work to a global audience

Palace aide

“As a long-term supporter and former beneficiary of The Trust himself, Idris will undoubtedly bring a unique perspective to this groundbreaking documentary as he peels back the layers of our story and shows how our life-changing work is as relevant today as it has ever been.”

Idris and the King previously appeared together in a documentary on knife crime.

The King will not interviewed in the Netflix show but filmed in conversation, it is understood.

A palace aide said: “The King is pleased for The Trust to have this wonderful opportunity to showcase their work to a global audience, sharing the compelling stories of some of the more than 1million young people it has helped in Britain and internationally over the past 50 years”.

LIONESS goalie Khiara Keating will face no further action after she was hauled to court accused of a drugs offence.

The Manchester City star, 20, was charged with possession of nitrous oxide canisters.

She and her mum appeared at Manchester magistrates court last summer when they pleaded not guilty.

They were facing a trial in November and were due at a hearing last week.

But the case has been dropped owing to insufficient evidence.

At an earlier hearing, Isaac Mirza, defending, said Keating was involved in a car crash in June last year.

Two police officers found nitrous oxide in her vehicle but Keating and her mum denied that it belonged to them.

Nitrous oxide was categorised as a Class C drug in 2023.

Possession, where a person intends to inhale it for a psychoactive effect, is an offence.

But the gas can be used for legitimate reasons such as pain relief in labour.

Keating, from Manchester, became the youngest player to win the Women’s Super League Golden Glove in 2023/24, and will feature in    next month’s Euros.

McGregor packed on the PDA with Devlin on a private yacht in the Spanish party capital.

The pair were spotted dancing the afternoon away and sharing a smooch in the marina.

But an apparent red mark could be seen on McGregor’s face, who had not been seen following his midweek fracas.

Footage obtained by The Sun showed the ex-UFC fighter, 36, striking a man in the infamous Pacha nightclub on Tuesday morning.

The Notorious appeared to connect with two punches in the shocking incident.

An eyewitness told The Sun the reveller was removed from the club while McGregor partied on.

One said: “Clearly something’s been said to annoy him and he’s reacted very badly.

“The guy seemed to fall to the floor, and his mates came to pick him up and get him away.

“There [didn’t appear to be any] consequences for Conor, but the guy he punched was taken away and I didn’t see him again.”

Another club-goer said: “He had his arm around someone who looked like his mate.

“Someone came up to them and when Conor hit him, about five people fell to the floor as the guy stumbled back.

“It was a bit like bowling pins, but the guy was really shaken by the hits.

“About a minute later, the bouncers came and got him on the back and took him out of the club, because he had annoyed Conor.

“It was right before close anyway. There was no messing around, they just removed him.

“Conor left through the garden a bit later, he didn’t look very happy that they got into a fight.”

The reveller’s identity was revealed in a now-deleted Instagram post by club mogul Wayne Lineker – brother of England legend Gary.

He took two punches from Conor McGregor in Pacha for absolutely no reason.

McGregor had been snapped earlier in the evening at Lineker’s O Beach club alongside glamour model Katie Price.

He was also joined at the event by Tottenham centre-back Kevin Danso.

Wayne later said he was “disappointed” with McGregor for attacking his employee and friend Joe Gomez.

The 63-year-old wrote: “This is my very close friend who has worked at Ocean for eight years, he has the most special heart and in all of the years that I’ve known him he has never raised his voice once.

“He took two punches from Conor McGregor in Pacha for absolutely no reason.

“Let me introduce you to Joe Gooomez (sic). He took the punches like a champion.”

Lineker also deleted a snap of him partying with the MMA legend, who rocked a white hat and cigar for the occasion.

He continued: “I’ve since deleted my post of Conor at Ocean on Sunday. To say I’m disappointed is an understatement.

“We at Ocean Beach Ibiza will always put our family first #wearefamily.”

McGregor made his UFC debut in April 2013.

He quickly won over fight fans with his mix of fast hands and aggressive grappling.

The Notorious has tasted victory in 22 of his 28 pro fights, but hasn’t entered the octagon since a rematch loss to Dustin Poirier in July 2021.

Watch moment lag gets STUCK upside down in jail wall after bungling desperate escape from prison

THIS is the bizarre moment an inmate found himself waist-deep – after a bungled escape attempt.

Alan Leandro da Silva, 32, is seen awkwardly wedged in the wall as a firefighter drills through the concrete around his torso.

Bizarre footage shows Alan resting his upper body on a blue chair while fire officers try to free him from the cell wall at the prison in Rio Branco.

His shirtless back, marked by a large demon tattoo, was strained from hanging down over the floor.

It also appears to be injured, with visible grazes and bloody wounds shown in the video.

Officers said they had to be extra careful not to injure his upper body during the drilling process.

Alan attempted to make his escape through the rugged hole while the guards were distracted.

But he appears to have underestimated the size of his escape hole – or his body – soon finding himself stuck waist-deep inside the wall.

After wardens noticed “strange movement” in the cell on Monday, they called firefighters for help.

Officers carefully extracted the inmate, who was freed unharmed.

A fire department spokesperson said: “According to the inmate’s own account, the hole was dug for two days using a nail and a broomstick.

“However, during the escape attempt, he was trapped inside the opening.

“In view of the situation, Criminal Police called the Fire Department to carry out the rescue.

“After thorough work, the rescue team was able to successfully release the victim, who was safely handed over to the Criminal Police team that was already on standby at the scene.”

The man was given first aid before being sent back to his cell.

Jail officials have yet to explain how the man obtained the tools or how the large hole in the wall went unnoticed.

It comes as a trio of would-be arsonists accidentally torched their own getaway car.

Security footage from southern Australia shows a clumsy man dousing the front of a house with a liquid – before his escape plan goes up in flames.

Meanwhile, a bungling crew member activated a jet’s emergency slide by mistake – putting it out of service and delaying hundreds of passengers.

The gaffe, which took place on a BA flight in January, cost the airline £100,000.

Miss Universe finalist shares pics of horror injuries as ex who called her ‘stupid c***’ in text is cleared of assault

A MISS Universe finalist has shared pics of her horror injuries after her ex was cleared of assault.

Chloe Othen, 34, had been invited over to Ricky Lawrence’s home in Knightsbridge, London, when “all hell broke loose”, a court heard.

The Miss Universe finalist claimed she was pinned down by Lawrence and accused him of punching and biting her on her legs, arm and shoulder, jurors heard.

Chloe, an Instagram influencer with 284,000 followers, said she “feared she would die” at the 33-year-old’s £1.5million apartment.

But Lawrence, who runs Lawrence & Winslade bespoke tailors in Knightsbridge, denied the charges and was cleared of assault causing actual bodily harm after an eight-day retrial.

Whisky merchant Lawrence was accused of punching Chloe multiple times but was found not guilty having insisted a love rival beat her up.

He claimed Hatton Garden jeweller Bora Guccuk, 41, was responsible for Chloe’s injuries.

Now, Chloe has taken to Instagram with her latest post referencing the ordeal.

Horrifying pictures of her injuries were uploaded by the influencer along with a statement.

Chloe said: “I trusted the justice system. It failed me.

“All it takes is an implication of doubt to devalue the overall truth…it felt like I was on trial.

“This is happening far too often — not just to me, but to survivors everywhere. The courts are being used to retraumatise victims, not protect them.

“I spoke my truth. I fought for justice. And I was let down.

“We need change – because justice shouldn’t be this easy to escape.”

The court was told the pair had been in a relationship for around six months between December 2021 and May 2022 but remained “on and off” after it ended.

Giving evidence, Chloe described their relationship as “narcissistic” adding: “You are addicted to the highs and lows. It is euphoric.”

During her evidence, the influencer said: “I genuinely thought I’m going to die.”

She told the court she was left with six bite marks and as a result she needed a tetanus shot and antibiotics.

Chloe later went to hospital where it was found one of the bite marks on her neck had “turned septic”, it was said.

Jurors previously heard a slew of messages were recovered from Lawrence’s phone that were sent just before the accusations of assault.

He told her: ‘I’ll do everything in my power to f**k you up.

“You’re a lying little w****, you said you were coming to me an hour-and-a-half ago.”

Chloe also described Lawrence as “crazy” and claimed he pursued her while she was at the Cannes film festival and in Mykonos with friends.

CHARGES CLEARED

Smartly dressed in a grey suit, bearded Lawrence appeared emotional as the unanimous verdict was announced as he looked over to supporters at the back of the courtroom.

Giving evidence in court, Lawrence claimed Chloe had confided in him that Guccuk was violent towards her – and that at one point he had seen her with a red mark on her face.

Lawrence claimed: “She had a mark on the side of her face. It looked like a footprint. It was a round mark. It was a red round mark.

“She always described the relationship as violent. She said he used to beat her up, things of that nature.”

Asked by Tom Wyatt, defending, whether he had ever bitten anyone, Lawrence replied: “Absolutely not. I’d never even had a fight”.

The defence lawyer said no one was suggesting Chloe was not assaulted but claimed Mr Guccuk was responsible for her injuries.

Mr Wyatt added: “She couldn’t risk losing the man who paid for her lifestyle.”

Francesca Allen, 28, who appeared on series five of Love Island, dated Lawrence in 2018 and wrote a character statement as part of Lawrence’s defence.

Following his initial arrest, Lawrence had wept and said: “This is ridiculous. She’s ruining my life. I asked her to leave.”

Lawrence later gave police a prepared statement in which he confirmed his relationship with Ms Othen began in January 2022 and ended four months later “because she aborted my child”.

I tried world’s thinnest vacuum at Dyson’s labs – skinny ‘PencilVac’ is the SAS of cleaning gear with three killer perks

AM I really looking forward to cleaning?

Dyson has achieved two impossible feats: making me thrilled about the idea of tidying the floor, and inventing the world’s slimmest vacuum. I’m not sure which is more impressive.

It’s called the PencilVac, and I’ve had a go with it behind closed doors at Dyson’s Oxfordshire labs.

Before I even grabbed the thing, I was blown away. Surely this is just a broom in disguise? Is Sir James Dyson having me on?

It measures a frankly ludicrous 38mm across. That’s about three Dairy Milk bars stacked on top of each other.

BIN-CREDIBLE!

All of the usual Dyson tech – the batteries, bin, and motor – has been crammed into the handle.

So you’ve got battery cells at the top, followed by the computer system, then a shrunken motor that’s Dyson’s fastest yet.

Next comes the bin, which uses a new compression system to fit five times more dust than its apparent 0.08-litre capacity.

After all, Dyson tells me that most of a “full” bin is usually air – so there’s plenty of room for squashing.

Then there’s a dust separation mechanism, brush bars, and a Fluffycones cleaner head with a cone design that shifts long hair off to the side – so it can be sucked back up instead of requiring you to cut it out with scissors.

You don’t see most of this, of course. PencilVac just looks like a Dyson that’s been hitting the treadmill.

I’LL BE…VAC

Naturally it all sounds like a vacuum cleaning dream, so I grab the handle and away I go.

It’s feathery light and easy to manoeuvre.

Dyson has built a kind of vacuum cleaning assault course for me that I whizz along effortlessly. I suspect my success is down to the gadget’s hi-tech design and not my own cleaning skill – but they don’t crush my dreams.

This course has straights and hairpin bends – the Nürburgring of vacuuming.

And at the end is a low shelf that I drop straight under. This thing lays almost flat – which is no surprise, given that is pretty much is flat.

DYSON PENCILVAC – THE TECH SPECS

Here's what you need to know...

Size: 38mm x 226mm x 1,160mm (W x L x H)

Weight: 1.8 kilos

Motor: Dyson Hyperdymium 140k motor

Motor RPM: 140,000

Filtration: Up to 99.99% (dow to 0.3 microns)

Runtime: Up to 30 minutes

Charge time: Four hours

Cleaner Head: Fluffycones cleaner head (for detangling long hair and to-edge cleaning)

Accessories: Rotating combi-crevice tool / conical hair screw for mattresses and stairs / magnetic floor-charging dock

It feels like a tactical weapon: the sort of thing that SAS squaddies would use if dust mites were the baddies.

Helping this image is a built-in laser that exposes dirt and debris. It’s the vacuuming equivalent of night vision goggles and a red-dot sight.

I dart between objects with stunning agility. I was born to do this.

The room fades away. I daydream about running off with it, and living out my days as a kind of vacuuming sensei, cleaning the most complicated floor-spaces I can find.

But I can’t become Dyson’s Mr Miyagi just yet, because the PencilVac isn’t out until 2026, and still doesn’t have a UK price.

SIR JAMES DYSON SPEAKS TO THE SUN

Here’s what famed British inventor Sir James Dyson told The Sun’s Sean Keach

Does PencilVac mark the beginning of a whole new era for vacuum cleaner design?

Yes, it’s a reinvention of the format of the vacuum cleaner – our third reinvention in fact! 

We started off by removing the bag to ensure vacuums didn’t lose suction. 

Then we pioneered the simplicity and ease of cleaning with really powerful battery-powered cordless vacuums, which were lighter and much easier to use.

Now, with the Dyson PencilVac, we’re taking it a stage further, pioneering a new way to clean. 

All the technology is contained in a very slim handle that is just 38mm in diameter. The new Fluffycones cleaner head floats across floors making it very manoeuvrable as you clean; all while it detangles long hair, so you don’t have to worry about that. 

A vacuum cleaner this thin must have seemed impossible for years – when did you first realise it was possible to actually manufacture a working device like this?

When something seems impossible, it makes us as engineers want to solve it all the more! Especially if people say, ‘It can’t be done.’ 

I’ve wanted to make a vacuum like the Dyson PencilVac for many years. But it required us to miniaturise everything about the product – which is a huge task. 

The diameter of our hair tools was the inspiration. Through lots of research, we realised that 38mm is the optimal size for most people to hold, and so this was the diameter chosen for our hair tools like the Supersonic hair dryer and Airwrap multi-styler and dryer. 

In order to fit it in the handle of the machine, we had to reengineer every component of the motor – down to the micron – while increasing its speed to 140,000RPM and maximising its power density for high-performance. 

It was clear that we couldn’t use cyclones for the dust separation, because they were too big for the 38mm diameter, so we had to develop something entirely new. The new slim, in-line format meant we could use dust compression technology in a small diameter, but over a long area to maximise the bin capacity, all while ensuring effective filtration performance and no loss of suction. 

What was the biggest challenge to overcome in building the PencilVac?

Developing the new Fluffycones cleaner head was perhaps the greatest challenge we faced – but also the most rewarding!  We wanted to develop a cleaner head that would detangle hair, clean right up to skirting boards, and pick up dust and debris in all directions – a cleaner head that would solve many frustrations with existing cleaner heads.

The new Fluffycones cleaner head features four conical brush bars. The challenge was engineering the drive system to ensure that all four cones, which are powered by two motors and four epicyclic gear boxes, spin at the same, consistent speed while maintaining its 7.5-degree angle for optimal pick-up performance. I’m delighted not only that we managed this, but in doing so made a vacuum cleaner which is a joy to use.

Who do you see PencilVac being the perfect vacuum cleaner for?

Once you’ve used it, and felt it float effortlessly across the floor, you’ll realise it’s unlike anything that has come before. It may be the only vacuum cleaner you need!

Picture Credit: Dyson

The new Fluffycones head has a conical shape that pushes long hairs off to the side so they can be sucked back up immediately – so you don’t have to cut them out manually with scissors

CLEAN-UP TIME

It’s a thrilling bit of kit, which might be the first time that’s ever been said about a vacuum cleaner.

This thing is easy to use, takes up very little space, and gets into difficult nooks and crannies. It feels purpose-built for British homes.

It’ll make cleaning under and around the dining table an absolute breeze. A treat, even.

It really is the SAS of cleaning gear: it’s light and agile for tactical cleaning operations, it dispatches long hairs with ruthless efficiency, and it has whole-house endurance with a 30-minute runtime.

I can already see myself arguing with my wife over who gets to use the PencilVac – but no matter who does, everyone’s a winner. Maybe that’s the real Dyson magic.

Roger Moore’s favourite James Bond car hits auction… but the motor used in an iconic chase scene is not an Aston Martin

BOND star Roger Moore’s favourite James Bond car, seen in iconic chase seen, is due to be auctioned.

It’s not a vintage Aston Martin due to sell but a small French hatchback used in the iconic For Your Eyes Only chase scene.

The tiny Citroen 2CV is currently available for purchase after it was rescued from a French scrapyard.

Six of the little motors were destroyed during the filming of the chase scene.

This is the only one of the six to ever be offered up for sale at auction.

A month long online bidding war has been started for the little car with bids already reaching $120,000 or £89,000.

It’s hoped that the motor will fetch a price of about $500,000 or £370,000 by the time bidding closes on July 17.

The iconic chase scene featuring the little 2CV sees Moore jump into the passenger seat of Melina Havelock’s (Carole Bouquet) Citroen to escape the gun fire of villain Hector Gonzalez’s goons.

In the ensuing chaos of the chase the 2CV ends up flipping onto its roof to avoid a bus.

It’s then flipped back onto four wheels by Bond and some helpful locals before fleeing once again.

The small 2CV is eventually rolled down a hill by one of the pursuing Peugeot’s, ending up partially crushed before being reversed off towards a sharp turn by 007.

In the iconic chase scene Bond takes the tiny Citroen off-road through olive groves and says the famous line: “I love a drive in the country, don’t you?”

Six bright yellow 2CV’s were left damaged in the filming process of the chase scene which sees Bond jump one over the last pursuing Peugeot.

The 2CV up for auction is one of only three to avoid complete destruction.

All three surviving 2CVs received a few dents and scrapes with the model up for auction boasting a missing headlight and a fair few scratches in the paintwork.

The models used for filming were fitted with more powerful engines not available in standard 2CVs.

Standard 2CVs were powered by a 602cc flat-twin engine mustering around 33bhp.

The six Bond vehicles used in filming featured a larger 1.1-litre engine that was lifted from the Citroën GS.

No roll cage was fitted to the one up for auction as it was used specifically for driving shots with Moore and Bouquet.

Moore gave a Top Gear interview stating the little French hatchback was his favourite Bond car writing later in his memoir about the fun he had driving the small motor.

The three surviving motors were split up after filming with one sold off to a UK collector.

One was taken by Citroen for the firm’s private collection and the third, which is now up for auction, was sent to a recycling facility in Paris.

The famous little car was rescued from the scrapyard and sold to its current owner in 2004.

It has been fitted with replacement yellow doors and boot lid, yellow roof, and seats. 

The car is being sold for display purposes only and is not considered to be roadworthy.

A certificate of authenticity will be provided to the winning bidder.

Car Auctions: How To Nab A Bargain

Car auctions are a way to sell vehicles based on a bidding system with the highest offer securing the deal.

Auctions aren’t restricted to the rich and famous as thousands of cars are sold at motor auctions in the UK each week.

Here’s what you need to know before attending an auction:

  1. Be prepared: Do your research on the car you would like to purchase beforehand.
  2. Check the car: Cars will usually be lined up before the start, so make sure to arrive early to inspect the desired car thoroughly.
  3. Have a back-up: Be ready for disappointment as your desired motor may be sold to someone else and select a few back-ups.
  4. Be realistic: Realise that there won’t be a “perfect” car at an auction and adjust expectations accordingly.
  5. Set a budget: It is easy to overspend in the heat of the moment during bidding. Ensure you have set a budget and do not go over it.

Key phrases to look out for:

  • ‘No major mechanical faults’ – suggests that there shouldn’t be any issues with the car’s drivetrain, gearbox, suspension, or engine. 
  • ‘Specified faults’ – the auctioneer will read out specific faults.
  • ‘Sold as seen’ – the vehicle is sold with any problems it may have. The auction company will rarely entertain complaints regarding the mechanical or cosmetic condition of these vehicles after sale.
  • ‘Sold with a warranted mileage’ – The car is being offered based on the report, which confirms the mileage through an independent check.

Dua Lipa shocks fans by bringing 90s singer on stage as she stuns in diamonte bodysuit in front of star-studded crowd

DUA Lipa gave her fans a surprise by bringing a 90s band on stage in front of a star-studded crowd.

The singer, 29, stunned in a diamonte bodysuit as she performed at Wembley Stadium.

However, Dua’s fans were in for a total shock when she brought out legendary 90s band Jamiroquai.

Formed in 1992, vocalist Jay Kay, 55, fronts the acid jazz and funk band.

Jay arrived wearing a black hat with purple trim, purple trousers and white fringe jacket.

One fan wrote online: “She brought out Jamiroquai! She did that for me.”

Another shared: “Just saw Dua Lipa bring Jamiroquai out at Wembley. Some month and I haven’t even got to glasto yet.”

It comes as Dua has emulated her idol Madonna by playing the iconic venue aged just 29.

Dua‘s first UK gig was at a 375-people capacity venue in Hackney nine years ago.

She is the same age as Madonna was when she headlined Wembley in 1987 as part of her Who’s That Girl Tour.

Just five other women ­— Beyonce, Rihanna, Taylor Swift, Adele and Pink — have headlined the venue.

Only Swift and Rihanna were younger than Dua, both performing there aged 28.

An insider told The Sun: “Playing Wembley is a dream come true for Dua and to sell out both nights feels incredible. She’s not even at the peak yet and has so much more she wants to achieve.

“To be headlining stadiums with just three albums under her belt proves how influential her music has been. Her world tour has been a huge success. She’s on cloud nine.”

Elsewhere, Lidl has recreated Dua Lipa’s viral pickle and jalapeño juice Cola drink.

The superstar previously divided fans after sharing her unusual recipe on TikTok.

At the time, celebrities like Gordon Ramsay and Prue Leith even tried the concoction for themselves.

In a post that received over 11.5K views Gordon mixed Dua Lipa‘s recommended spicy ingredients in with his Diet Coke, and took a large sip – only to end up spitting it out in disgust.

Dua Lipa, for God’s sake, girl!” he shouted while coughing.

Dua Lipa's love life: A history

Who has Dua Lipa dated in the past?

Isaac Carew

Dua dated the British model and chef twice. The started dating in 2015 before splitting up two years later due to scheduling issues. They rekindled their romance in 2018 before splitting for good a year later.

Paul Klein

After she broke up from Isaac in 2017, she embarked on a new relationship that same year with the musician. They broke up after just five months of dating in 2018.

Anwar Hadid

One of her most high-profile relationships was with Anwar Hadid, brother of supermodels Gigi and Bella Hadid. Although they quarantined together during the COVID-19 Pandemic they called it quits in 2021 as Dua wanted to focus on being single

Jack Harlow

In December 2022, it was claimed that both of the music pairing were ‘hanging out’ together. Although after a few months it seemed that the relationship fizzled out.

Romain Gavras

The French director was first linked to Dua back in 2023 when they were seen in London leaving the BAFTA Awards afterparty together in February. They later walked the red carpet together at the Cannes Film Festival in May. They were later pictured together over the summer that year in July and August as they celebrated his birthday. She has since deleted mentions of him off of her Instagram.

Callum Turner

In January 2024, Callum celebrated the release of his Apple TV+ series, Masters of Air. The pair were spotted together at the afterparty of the premiere in Los Angeles. They were then spotted getting close on a number of dates. Insiders since revealed that the duo have travelled together and have met each other’s families. The pair then became more public with their relationship before rumours circulated of an engagement over the festive period. The singer appeared to confirm the news on social media, posting a photo with her huge ring in plain sight.

“You’ll ruin your vocal cords, s***,” the restaurateur warned to the singer before ending the video.

Speaking to Lorraine Kelly on ITV, Prue’s verdict was: “The drink was ‘far too sweet'”.

Continuing, the Bake Off judge added she “liked the jalapenos”, but thought it could be improved with “a little bit of vinegar” to balance flavourss.

Royal Ascot tips: ‘He’ll power home like the class act he is’ – Templegate’s bullish 3-1 NAP on day five

SERAPH GABRIEL (5.35 Royal Ascot, nap)

He got off the mark at Lingfield on his second run before finishing his juvenile campaign with a short-head second in good company at Redcar. Trainer Ralph Beckett brought him back for his handicap debut in the competitive Esher Cup at Sandown in late April. He looked well and travelled sweetly before just being edged out in the closing stages. That was over a mile and he gives the strong impression that this longer trip will be ideal.

ARAMRAM (5.00 Royal Ascot, nb)

He has looked better than ever this season and followed to fine Newmarket seconds with a cosy win at Newbury last time. The official margin was a length but he was coasting in the closing stages and could have made it a lot more. The handicapper has been more than fair with a 4lb rise in the weights and the booking of Moore for Richard Hannon’s flyer is the cherry on top.

MOMENTS OF JOY (2.30 Royal Ascot, treble)

‘The Lads’ of Ballydoyle have been hoovering up the juvenile races all week and can add the Chesham to their tally. This Justify colt took the Leopardstown maiden as last year’s winner Bedtime Story last time.
