Coronation Street Fans Outraged As ITV Soap Pulled In Schedule Shake Up | TV & Radio | Showbiz & T...

Image Read more: Found here

Coronation Street fans have been left in a state of confusion after the beloved soap was once again removed from screens due to another scheduling shake-up. The long-standing ITV drama usually adheres to a regular weekly schedule, airing hour-long episodes on Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings.

However, this week saw a significant disruption as Coronation Street was moved from its usual Wednesday (27 August) slot. Instead of the normal schedule, the popular programme aired from 8pm to 9pm on Monday evening (25 August), Tuesday evening (26 August) and will also broadcast at the same time on Friday (29 August).

This change in schedule is due to ITV's live coverage of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday , featuring a match between Grimsby Town and Manchester United . Viewers were understandably puzzled on Wednesday when they couldn't find the episode usually available early on ITVX.

On a Corrie Facebook fan page, one viewer asked: "Why isn't Corrie on tonight?

Can't find tonight's episode on ITVX." Another added: "It's not on because of the football."

This week, intense drama has unfolded in Weatherfield for several residents, particularly trainee paramedic Asha Alahan (Tanisha Gorey).

The demanding shift took a tremendous toll on Asha, who began experiencing panic attacks and turned to alcohol for solace.

How US Shoppers Will Be Hit As The Tariff Exemption Ends

Image More details: Found here

The US has pulled the plug on a long-running global tariff exemption that has been widely used by buyers of low-cost goods.

From Friday, imports valued at $800 (£592) or less will no longer be duty-free and will face tighter customs checks, in a move set to affect millions of shipments a day.

Last year, almost 1.4 billion packages - worth a total of more than $64bn - entered America without being charged duties under a rule called the de minimis exemption, according to US Customs.

⁘I've reached the point of acceptance, but when I first heard the news about two and half, three weeks ago, I felt like it might be the end for my business,⁘ said Katherine Theobalds, founder and creative director of Buenos Aires-based shoe brand Zou Xou. ⁘It still might - that remains to be seen.⁘

De minimis is a Latin term that broadly translates to ⁘about the smallest things⁘, often used in legal contexts to describe matters too trivial to merit concern.

The de minimis exemption was introduced in 1938 to avoid the expense of collecting only small amounts of import duties in the US.

The rule's threshold rose over the years, allowing e-commerce firms and global retailers that ship small packages to the US to thrive.

The exemption was often associated with companies like Chinese e-commerce giants Shein and Temu, which delivered Americans cheap goods that could be quickly shipped from the manufacturing source - with no warehouse stock or associated overhead costs.

Comand AI Embed In The UK Defence Ahead Of DSEI 2025

Image Reference: Visit website

The pan-European start-up Comand AI is expanding its footprint in London after its flagship platform, Prevail, hit the ground running on the continent with the French Army, German Bundeswehr, and with another ongoing project in Ukraine.

It is a natural next step for an organisation bringing generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) to military planning – a priority enshrined in the UK's Strategic Defence Review, in which the trio of authors recommended that autonomy complement the 'heavy metal' of tanks and artillery.

Combine business intelligence and editorial excellence to reach engaged professionals across 36 leading media platforms.

Paul Billings, vice president of the emerging UK entity, delivered an exclusive demo of Prevail for Army Technology at its office in London ahead of the leading UK defence exhibition, DSEI , where the start-up will dwell within the French pavillion, having been founded in Paris by defence expert Loïc Mougeolle just two years ago.

Ultimately, Prevail is a GenAI platform composed of two integrated components: Plans and Lessons. Together, they speed up and inform tactical decisions, allowing command and control (C2) to act faster in the mission planning stage, creating a smoother tempo on the battlefield with more time to focus on other military actions.

Prevail processes the receipt of orders brief after which the GenAI tool helps personnel analyse missions, evaluate terrain, assess threats, and generate viable courses of action.

The tool utilises data from open street maps and low latency satellite pictures. This could extend to data gathered from disaggregated sensor nodes on the ground but this depends on user requirements.

In the end, the platform allows decision-makers to wargame options under different criteria, such as logistics, flexibility, or C2.

Don't let policy changes catch you off guard. Stay proactive with real-time data and expert analysis.

"This work would normally be done in 2025 with a sheet of plastic over a map [jotted by] humans with felt tip pens," Billings said as he parsed through an AI-generated timeline of overlapping tactical actions among different military units for a fictional scenario across the complex, forested terrain south of the city of Chornobyl.

Two More Brookside Stars Confirmed As Soap Makes Comeback For Hollyoaks' 30th Anniversary...

TWO more names have been confirmed for the highly anticipated crossover episode with Brookside and Hollyoaks - as fan excitement continues to build.

Earlier this month, it was revealed that the iconic soap, which saw some of it's stars reunite earlier this year , was being revived for a special episode to commemorate Hollyoaks' 30 th anniversary.

Now it's been announced that John McArdle and Paul Usher will be reprising their roles as Billy Corkhill and Barry Grant respectively.

Speaking of his return, John, who has also starred on Emmerdale , expressed: "It's going to be a nostalgic visit back to the famous close. Also I've got to try and find the character of Billy Corkhill again as I haven't played him for 35 years!⁘

Meanwhile, Paul, who has also starred on EastEnders, was part of the original cast from the very first episode in 1982, playing the character of Barry for 13 years.

He later returned for a brief stint in 1997 and again in 1998 before coming back for the show's final episode in 2003.

Paul admitted he was "looking forward to seeing all of the old faces," but it remains to be seen which other characters will be coming back for the one-off special.

This announcement comes after it was previously revealed that actress Sue Johnston would be reprising her role as matriarch Sheila Grant , the wife of John's character Billy.

Sue last played Shelia in 1990 – as the character left after marrying Billy and moving to Basingstoke with him.

Carli Norris, who once played Belinda Slater in the BBC hit, now runs an online boutique called Chocodolly.

The actress, 51, first appeared in  Walford  in 2016 as the sister of iconic characters Kat, Lynne and Little Mo.

During her short time on the show, Carli was involved in some big storylines as Belinda - including divorce and financial struggles.

She sells vintage fashion as well as homemade 'Pin Up Pixie' dolls and hosts a podcast called Meditating in High Heels.

She appears to be a woman of many talents, as she also runs a company with her partner Dom, that offers celebrants and event hosting.

Some Local Businesses Optimistic, Others Calling It Quits As Duty-free U.S. Shipping Ends

Image Read more: Found here

The de minimis exemption for cross-border shipments to the United States ended Friday, and London-area small businesses with American customers are concerned what it could mean for their sales.

Those shipments will now be subject to duties of up to $200 US, depending on the country of origin, and Canadian small businesses with American customers will be smacked with extra costs that eat into their profits.

For Daniel Phillips, owner of the London-based clothing shop Illbury and Goose, the ups and downs of US trade this year have been challenging to keep up with.

⁘With these things actually being in place now, it's kind of a learning curve every day,⁘ he said. ⁘We've got to think on our toes and be nimble and see what we can do.⁘ 

While U.S. customers are not their main base, some products sell pretty well there, like t-shirts and hoodies, and lately the store has been getting a lot of U.S. orders for their soap products, Phillips said.

⁘Hopefully there are customers who are loyal there and are going to still want the product or still be able to get it,⁘ he said. ⁘If they want to keep purchasing, it's just that extra little fee. It's kind of the way the world's going right now, right?⁘ 

Others businesses are not so optimistic. Pierre Oliver is the owner of Yarmouth Model Works, a model train manufacturer in St. Thomas, and 95 per cent of his roughly 5,000 customers are based in the U.S.

However, after five years, the star has revealed that he is looking to "spread his wings" and explore other characters.

"I joined during the Covid pandemic, which was a weird and surreal time to take on a new character. I've loved playing Aadi, I have made good friends on the set, and I am going to miss Corrie dearly.

"But I am going to be 25 in October, and I felt it was the right time to leave. It was my decision, and the producers were so understanding.

According to the star, bosses have told him that "the door will always be left open if I ever want to come back".

Image More details: Found here

A 20-year-old fishmonger is making waves at Brierley Hill Market where he's launched a new stall – bringing top-quality, dayboat-fresh British fish back to the market.

Matt Witts, from Gloucester, has launched the new MW Seafoods stall - having always dreamed of having one of his own.

Fishmongering runs deep in Matt's family, with more than 70 years in the business, and he learned the ropes working on his dad's stall.

He said: "Growing up, I always enjoyed working with my dad on his fish stall and always wanted a stall of my own to continue that passion.

"Brierley Hill Market is a great market with all the stalls for the weekly shop, so when we knew they were after a new fishmonger, it was as if it was meant to be."

The return of a fishmonger has brought a fresh wave of excitement to the market and has been warmly welcomed by the local community.

UK Bars Israeli Government From London Arms Fair Over Gaza War

Image Source: See here

In response, Israel's Defence Ministry said it won't have a national pavilion at the expo, but will permit private defence companies to attend

Israeli government representatives will not be invited to attend a London arms fair, a UK government spokesperson said on Friday, amid worsening diplomatic relations between Britain and Israel over Gaza.

Israeli defence companies will still be allowed to attend the biennial event.

But Israel slammed the move taken against officials as "discrimination".

Prime Minister Keir Starmer's government has in recent months suspended arms export licences to Israel for use in Gaza, suspended trade talks with Israel and sanctioned two far-right Israeli ministers in protest at the conduct of the war.

"There must be a diplomatic solution to end this war now, with an immediate ceasefire, the return of the hostages and a surge in humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza," it added.

Ray then manipulated Dylan, trying to make him believe that Paddy and Mandy won't care for ⁘someone like him⁘ forever. As Dylan said it was all getting a bit intense, he told Ray he needed a break and didn't want to do jobs for him.

Ray claimed this was fine and they were ⁘still mates⁘, but it was clear he wasn't happy about it and had a plan in mind. Dylan ended up helping Marlon Dingle at the pub, only to be spotted by youngster Kyle.

Kyle realised that Dylan was one of the intruders who scared him at the farm a few weeks back, with him stabbing Dylan in the leg with a pitchfork.

Kyle began to panic, as Dylan tried to calk him down to stop him from exposing what he did.

As Kyle headed home with stepmother Moira Dingle, it was clear he was hiding something leading to Moira encouraging him to open up. It's then that Kyle spilled all about Dylan, leaving a furious Moira wanting payback.

Spoilers have revealed she lures Dylan up to the farm in a revenge plot, but how far will she go? Amid all this, fans think a recent scene has given away a secret link between Dylan and another character.

Viewers noticed a recent scene at Paddy's home, that saw Dylan picking up and staring at a photo of Paddy's dad Bear. Bear has been offscreen for weeks, acting out of character before lying to Paddy and fleeing.

On Top Of UK's Longest Railway Bridge That's A 2-mile 'Architectural...

Image Source: Visit website

Stretching just over two miles between HS2's London and Chiltern tunnels, the impressive structure was constructed using a thousand concrete deck segments, each weighing a hefty 140 tonnes - more than the average weight of the world's largest animal, the blue whale.

Work on the bridge began in 2021, with construction teams and their machines tirelessly building over the Colne Valley Park near Denham. Once trains start running , passengers leaving London will be treated to their first views of the countryside from the bridge .

Trains will be able to travel at speeds of up to 200mph, crossing the entire viaduct in a mere 38 seconds.

The design of the bridge, one of the largest single civil engineering works of HS2 Phase One, was inspired by the image of a stone skipping across water, with a series of spans carrying the railway 10m above the lakes, river and canal.

Naz Huseinmiya, one of the construction managers, expressed her pride in working on the project to The Telegraph, saying: ⁘I worked on Crossrail a decade ago and now I use the Elizabeth Line myself.⁘ She added: ⁘I love seeing the infrastructure you've helped create used by millions of people.⁘

Fellow engineer Katy Hodgson echoed this sentiment, stating: ⁘I love it.

Every time I go by, I nod to it and say, 'I built that'⁘. The Colne Valley Viaduct, completed in August 2025 at a cost of £1.6 billion, has taken the title of the UK's longest railway bridge from Scotland's Tay Bridge. The viaduct, along with the nearly 10-mile Chiltern Tunnel, is part of the HS2 project, reports the Express .

Post-construction, the factory and surrounding buildings will be removed, transforming the entire area between the viaduct and the Chiltern Hills tunnel into chalk grassland and woodland.

This transformation is part of HS2's 'Green Corridor' initiative.

HS2's Phase One, which will link London and Birmingham, promises a travel time of just 49 minutes. It is expected to be operational between 2029 and 2033.

Danniella Westbrook Eyes Up BBC EastEnders Return But Has Strict Condition

Image Source: Found here

An EastEnders icon has shared the single condition that might lure her back to the BBC soap opera - and it's quite a demand. Danniella Westbrook , 49, who initially arrived on Albert Square in 1990 as Sam Mitchell, has confessed she would only consider returning to Walford if her legendary character was given control of the Queen Vic.

Speaking about a potential return, Danniella said: ⁘I'd only go back if they gave Sam Mitchell the Queen Vic. If they put Sam behind the bar and made her the next Peggy, I'd go back.

⁘But if they didn't, I'm not interested. The show needs some great matriarchs again, and they don't have loads now, do they? I know they've got Tish [Letitia Dean , who plays Sharon] and Denise. But yeah, I'd consider it if Sam Mitchell was back running The Queen Vic.⁘

The performer, who has portrayed Sam intermittently for over thirty years, reckons seizing control of the renowned boozer could restore some desperately needed edge to the BBC drama.

⁘If Sam were running the Vic, she'd be a lot like Peggy, I think,⁘ she explained to the Daily Star . ⁘But I think she'd have poker nights and all sorts going on.⁘

Danniella also suggested that, should she make a comeback, her interpretation of Sam would appear vastly different to the depiction audiences have witnessed recently from actress Kim Medcalf, who played the character between 2002 and 2005, before returning in 2022 and leaving in 2024. ⁘I think if she came back, she'd have to come back a bit differently, because the other girl who plays her does it so differently,⁘ Danniella said.

⁘The way I play Sam and the way she plays Sam, it's like two completely different characters. Even the writing changes. What they write for her and what they write for me are like two different personalities.⁘

Drawing comparisons between their interpretations, she continued: ⁘Kim plays her a lot posher, not as East End, not as flirty, she's more middle-class in her version.

Whereas my Sam is more brassy, more cheeky.⁘

Why Is London So Appealing To New Arrivals To The Premier League?

Image Reference: Found here

There is no doubting the sizeable and growing divide between London and much of the rest of England.

A recent report found London wages were 33 per cent higher than the national average and as high as 68 per cent more than in Burnley, a town in the north-west of the country.

But what about football? Do London clubs hold an advantage when it comes to signing prospective players?

Well, there has certainly been a geographical shift in where the Premier League's clubs are based.

Last season, there was a record-low number of northern clubs — just five — since the league's rebranding in 1992. Conversely, there were seven London clubs and a further three from the south (Southampton, Bournemouth, and Brighton), meaning half the division came from London or further south.

All 12 clubs from the first Football League in 1888 were exclusively from the Midlands and further north. West Bromwich Albion and Aston Villa were the two most southerly teams in a landscape that reflected where many of the country's industrial powerhouses still were.

That remained the case for the next 16 years until Woolwich Arsenal became the top flight's first London away day in 1904. The only other southerly club in the top two divisions (comprising 36 teams) at that time were Bristol City, in the Second Division, but Chelsea (1907) and Tottenham Hotspur (1909) soon followed Arsenal into the top flight.

Grace Black ( Tamara Wall ) broke down in tears in emotional scenes as she told sister Clare Devine ( Gemma Bissix ) that their father Fraser had raped her when she was a teenager.

Grace, however, overruled her sister, deciding to give their grandfather a chance to prove himself, offering him a place to stay when he's released properly.

With Tori set to perform a track at the Hollyoaks In Bloom event, Clare and Grace headed to the village with Froggy for the performance.

When Clare reached over to her sister to see if she was okay, Grace let out a scream and raced back to the flat, where she broke down in tears.

Grace spoke through tears as she recalled how Clare used to play that very melody when she was little – a melody which Fraser would call 'beautiful'.

"We underestimate older people. I did it when I was 25," Mirren says at the film's premiere in London on Aug 21.

"It's absolutely right that young people feel as if the world is theirs and nobody's ever done what they're doing before.

But the reality is, of course, every generation has done everything that they're doing."

Directed by American film-maker Chris Columbus, the crime comedy is based on English novelist Richard Osman's 2020 best-selling novel of the same name.

"I don't plot at all," Osman says of his writing process. "I have a rough idea of what might happen.

I have a little twist somewhere, but I write a chapter at a time and see what happens."

One of the screenplay writers, Katy Brand, says the movie mixes "serious, heartfelt warmth" and moments of silliness, humour and satire.

"This whole sort of genre that we have in this country of the sort of Sunday night crime drama... where amateur sleuthing goes on, but it's also got mischief to it."

As for the future, with three more novels in the series already out and a fifth instalment from Osman planned for autumn, he hopes there will be more films.

About one million people are expected to attend the extravaganza, and around 7,000 police officers will be on duty across the capital on Sunday and Monday.

The two-day Notting Hill Carnival is under way in west London as the streets are filled with colourful costumes, dancing and music.

Europe's biggest street party, which has been running for more than 50 years, is an annual event over the summer bank holiday weekend and helps celebrate Caribbean culture and history.

The festival began early with the J'ouvert celebration, where people covered each other in paint, coloured powder and chocolate.

Festival chairman Ian Comfort told the crowd he was pleased the carnival was happening after its future was in jeopardy because of funding challenges earlier this year.

The Mayor of Kensington and Chelsea, Tom Bennett, welcomed "friends" from across the Caribbean and said: "It's one of the greatest street parties in the world...celebrating today Caribbean culture - from dancing, music, costumes but also everything the Caribbean community has done in this borough and country."

Best Day Trip City Named For Those Wanting To 'Escape' London - Not Kent

Image More details: Found here

London is known for its fast-paced energy, high-rise buildings and large population. However, constantly being in the capital can be overwhelming and overbearing, especially in summer, leading Londoners to find a new destination to visit for a much-needed break away.

Locals tend to head further east to Kent due to its close proximity, beach and city views and affordable pricing. However, a new top day trip destination has been named for Londoners eager to escape the city's fast pace. Premium student accommodation, Chapter London , has revealed its top 10 list for the best day trip locations across the UK.

The ranking is based on the average return ticket cost, the price of a return ticket with a 16-25 or 26-30 railcard, the average travel time, the number of attractions, the number of places to eat, the number of Instagram hashtags for the location, and a total day trip score.

The location declared as the number one spot is the popular seaside destination of Brighton. The coastal city is just two hours and 15 minutes from London by train.

It earned a strong day trip score of 8.52, with average return fares at £26.49, or £17.54 with a 16–25 Railcard. Despite not ranking first place, Maidstone in Kent comes in a respectable second place.

The Kentish town has an average day trip score of 6.57.

Emmerdale's Lawrence Robb Reveals Key Filming Detail In Mackenzie's Flashforward...

Emmerdale's Lawrence Robb revealed a filming detail about Mackenzie Boyd's long-awaited flashforward scene.

The actor plays Mackenzie Boyd in the Yorkshire-based soap and made his debut back in 2020. Over the last five years, viewers watched as his relationship with Charity Dingle almost implodes after his infidelity.

Now as he reaches his five-year anniversary in the Dales, rumours started circling that he was set to leave Emmerdale at the hands of John Sugden.

While Emmerdale themselves have not confirmed the speculation, Lawrence shared: ⁘Rumours they shall remain⁘.

The actor then joked that Emmerdale is ⁘the most dangerous village in the country⁘ and when it comes to future storylines, he teased: ⁘There's a lot of stuff coming, I've really enjoyed filming it.⁘

Wednesday's episode ended with Mackenzie looking in one of John's scrapbooks and seeing a photograph.

As the penny started to drop for Mackenzie the episode ended on a cliffhanger.

He revealed: ⁘The flashback scene was filmed last October and at the time we didn't know when it was going to play out within 2025 - so just in case there could be a future issue with hair continuity - as potentially I could have grown a mullet by the end of the year - we decided to stick a beanie hat on Mack.

⁘But this choice didn't help with the heat as this time we were filming this episode in the height of summer.

And for all the filming I had to have this beanie on. So I was very, very warm.⁘

The British Are Coming! UK Ambassador Wants London To Host Super Bowl - Mlive.Com

Image Reference: Found here

It seems the United Kingdom has set its sights on the biggest sporting event in the United States.

During an appearance on C-SPAN is week , the United Kingdom's ambassador to the United States Peter Mandelson suggested that the biggest single day spectacle in sports should be held on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.

"I've made a big pitch for the first Super Bowl outside the U.S. to take place in Britain," Mandelson told the Chicago Council on Global Affairs on Thursday.

"I want that Super Bowl in Britain. I don't care when it takes place, but I want it announced during my time as ambassador.

We love it. We love it."

The audience mostly reacted with shock and laughs, but considering the NFL's increasingly aggressive push to expand football globally , it's not the craziest suggestion.

The NFL has been playing regular-season games in London since 2007, which was the first official game ever held outside North America.

In 2025, three games will take place in London: one at Wembley Stadium and two at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in October.

A total of seven games will be played internationally this season with Ireland, Germany, Spain and Brazil also hosting.

If a Super Bowl was to take place outside the U.S., which to date has never happened, London could be a potential host. But it won't happen soon.

Derry Girls actress Saoirse-Monica Jackson wed her longtime beau, DJ Denis Sulta, in a Celtic-inspired wedding in Ireland over the weekend

The Derry Girls actress, 31, married Scottish DJ Denis Sulta (real name Hector Barbour) in a three-day celebration in Ireland over the weekend.

The couple, who said their ⁘I dos⁘ in front of 160 guests at Dromquinna Manor in County Kerry, first met during the Covid-19 pandemic before Barbour popped the question during a beach getaway years later, according to British Vogue .

They paid homage to their Celtic background with Irish music and an Irish storyteller.

Their festivities were also sprinkled with kilts and Guinness beer.

⁘We wanted both of our cultures and our families and friends to be at the center of it," Jackson told the outlet.

Their mission was accomplished thanks to Jackson's modern wedding ensemble: an Annie Ibiza-designed mini skirt featuring lace trim and a stunning train.

Her corset-esque top included embellished puffy short sleeves and was completed with a Celtic brooch, a subtle tribute to her mother. Her top, a reversible piece with tartan on the inside, also saluted her new mother-in-law's gown.

Jackson's look was inspired by a Dior design she previously spotted on the runway, and a look from Ibiza that Zendaya once wore.

The actress completed her bridal look, which she described as ⁘Celtic warrior princess,⁘ with Eily O'Connell bespoke emerald jewelry that matched her bridesmaids' green Rat ⁘ Boa dresses and pointed-toe platform ankle-strap heels.

Her hairstylist, Tim Havern, curled her custom blonde extensions and styled them in a soft half-ponytail with side bangs.

Makeup artist Robyn Wheeler gave Jackson the perfect minimal face she was going for.

Did You Spot This Dark EastEnders Detail In Okie And Harry Story?

Image Reference: See here

The plot involving Tobias 'Okie' Okyere and Harry Mitchell may have intensified on EastEnders , but did you spot the well-hidden detail in tonight's episode?

During the episode, Ravi was spooked when Okie revealed that their base for operations had been raided by the police, with the dealer promptly suggesting that they move the supply to Kojo Asare's flat .

Harry wasn't best pleased with the suggestion and took umbrage at the fact that the unwitting Kojo was being involved in the gang's criminal dealings.

Ravi, however, used brute force to remind Harry of his place in the chain of command.

As Okie later moved the operations to Kojo's, Harry attempted to assuage his friend's fears. But he was unnerved as he noticed that Okie was carrying a firearm - could this play a role in the storyline in the near future?

⁘I don't care how much you have to push the dealers - you shift as much gear as you can,⁘ Ravi said ominously. Will Priya discover his latest act of deceit and end their relationship for good?

EastEnders airs on Mondays-Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One. The show also streams on BBC iPlayer, where most episodes drop early at 6am ahead of their TV broadcast.

S Adam Barlow Distracts Fans With ⁘New Look⁘ | TV & Radio...

The character (Sam Robertson) has been a fixture on the soap since 2004. Throughout the years, he's been involved in numerous major storylines.

From his countless romantic entanglements on the cobbles to battling mental health issues, Adam's stint in Weatherfield has been packed with drama.

Moreover, in June, it was revealed that actor Sam had penned a fresh contract that will secure his place on the Cobbles until November 2026, reports the Daily Star.

Nevertheless, it's safe to say Adam has been creating quite a buzz lately due to his constantly evolving hairstyle . Recently, viewers were left thoroughly distracted after Adam unveiled his latest look on the programme.

During Friday's instalment (August 15) Adam was spotted having a conversation with colleague Dee-Dee Bailey (Channique Sterling-Brown) - who has just welcomed a baby and is eager to reduce her workload.

Yet, it was Adam's updated hairstyle that sparked considerable discussion - with the barrister sporting a significantly curlier appearance.

On X, one viewer proclaimed: "Ohhhh Adam's hair is growing again - he looks like a young Tom Jones.." Another person commented: "What is going on with Adam's hair? ! He has a new (bad) hairstyle every time he's on screen." Meanwhile, on a Reddit discussion, one individual remarked: "Omg the hair."

Another penned: "His hair is a character on its own!" Meanwhile, last year, ex- Corrie writer Daran Little revealed some interesting facts about Adam's hairstyles.

Posting on X, Daran shared a photo of himself and Sam, stating: "All the talk about Adam Barlow's hair... Adam was the first character I created on Coronation Street . I named him Adam because 'Ken wouldn't know him from Adam'."

Herefordshire Farmer Sees Broccoli Harvest Hit By Heatwave And Lack Of Water

Image Reference: Visit website

Farmers in the driest parts of the UK are facing some of their worst ever harvests as the heatwave continues to hit crop and vegetable yields.

Broccoli growers are particularly struggling with a lack of water and bone-dry soils, with yields cut by more than 50%, quality affected and shoppers warned to expect smaller vegetables on the shelves.

One Herefordshire grower told the BBC there could be supply shortages if sustained rainfall does not come soon.

The British Growers Association said supplies of brassicas – including broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage - were ⁘tight⁘ but better harvests in wetter parts of the UK should ensure vegetables still make it to the supermarkets.

The Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit (ECIU), an independent think tank, is now warning that the UK is on course to see its sixth or seventh worst harvest since records began 40 years ago.

Although the overall harvest picture is mixed across the UK, farmers in parts of the country that have seen little rain and have low river levels - and who are growing produce in lighter, drier soil that does not hold moisture well - are seeing substantial shortfalls.

Ben Andrews, who has a mixed organic farm growing broccoli near Leominster, Herefordshire, told the BBC that shoppers will have to ⁘shift their expectations⁘ about the size and shape of the vegetables in supermarkets.

He added, as it was also too hot for brassicas to be grown abroad and imported to the UK, there could also be issues with shortages.

⁘You'll be looking at maybe not quite as much availability and maybe needing to accept smaller heads of broccoli or lettuce or cabbage.

A STATE school in one of London's poorest boroughs has outperformed Eton with 250 straight As on A level results day.

Dozens of pupils at the East Ham school defied the odds to gain places at universities such as Oxford , Cambridge , Imperial and UCL.

The remarkable achievement eclipsed some of the richest schools in the country such as Eton College despite significantly less resources.

Over 250 students at a London academy have achieved straight A grades as the successful school celebrated its best-ever results.

The school in Newham, one of London's poorest boroughs, became famous for sending more students to Oxbridge than Eton.

More than 400 have earned places at the esteemed establishments in the 12 years since it opened its sixth form in 2012.

At Brampton Manor Academy last year 150 students achieved straight A* grades, while 349 pupils received either an A* or A in all their subjects.

Many of the high achievers at the school are from ethnic minority backgrounds, in receipt of free school meals or will be their family's first to attend university.

One student at Brampton Manor, Mate-Stefan Berghes, achieved four straight A*s and will study Engineering Science at the   University of Oxford.

But The Cost Was Ridiculous | UK | News...

Image More details: See here

Cornwall, with its golden beaches, extensive coastline, ample surfing opportunities, and dramatic cliffs — draws millions of visitors annually. UK travel and food content creator George Kimm recently detailed his trip to the picturesque county — causing quite a stir in the process.

He embarked on an overnight sleeper train journey from London to Cornwall, documenting his adventure on Instagram . George took the Great Western Railway (GWR) Night Riviera service, which departs from London Paddington and arrives in Penzance by morning, with the entire trip lasting just over eight hours.

The travel aficionado gave an honest review of his journey. However, one key detail left his Instagram followers stunned – the cost.

George booked a "very cozy" private cabin on the service, equipped with a single bed, a table that also served as a washbasin, a wardrobe, and under-bed storage, which he found "very useful". GWR also provided several amenities, including soap, according to CornwallLive, reported Bristol Live .

George noted that the restrooms are located outside the cabins.

But apart from that, he felt the rail operator "really had thought of everything else".

The London-based content creator commented: "Before we left London Paddington I had a look in the onboard bar where you can sit down, relax. They also provide free tea and coffee with biscuits and when it comes to going to sleep, I actually had a really good experience."

After settling in and doing a bit of exploration, George watched the train pull out of the station before turning in for the night.

He shared that he enjoyed the sounds and movement of the train, which helped lull him to sleep.

Upon waking up the next morning, George had breakfast, which was included with his cabin. He opted for a cup of tea and a sausage bap, describing it as "very delicious".

The travel aficionado added: "And it was so lovely to have my breakfast whilst watching the countryside whizz by."

We got a touch of new Florence + The Machine last year, when the group was featured on ⁘Florida!!!⁘ from Taylor Swift's album The Tortured Poets Department . The band's latest proper album, though, is 2022's Dance Fever . Now it looks like that might be changing soon, as a teaser video shared this morning (August 11) may indicate.

The clip shows Florence Welch on her hands and knees in an overgrown field, wearing a red dress and digging away at a spot in the ground. The video then cuts to a hole-POV shot of Welch looking into it before she repeatedly and intensely screams.

In a more recent British Vogue chat , she said of her Swift collab, ⁘I almost didn't think of the scale of it.

There's the sort of bigness of [Taylor Swift the phenomenon], and then there's the Taylor I spend time with in the studio, who is just the sweetest and most down to earth. [⁘] We had such a fun time. And then when it came out I was like, ⁘Oh, sh*t!'⁘

A beloved character on EastEnders has handed in her notice and has already secured fresh employment.

Honey Mitchell (Emma Barton) has remained a cornerstone of the BBC soap since making her first appearance in 2005. As Billy's (Perry Fenwick) other half, she's been central to numerous major plot lines.

From her romance with Billy through to her eating disorder storyline, Honey's journey in Albert Square has been packed with compelling drama.

This is particularly true at present, with the programme recently revealing a significant development for the character.

Viewers will remember that several years ago, Honey departed her role at the Minute Mart to become Walford's market inspector, ensuring all the local stallholders stayed in line.

More recently, she had her sights set on securing Mr Lister's senior market inspector position, following his announcement that he planned to step down in the coming months after years of supervising the traders, reports Plymouth Live .

Mr Lister had previously suggested that Honey might take over from him, and during Thursday's instalment (August 14) Honey decided to go for it and arranged to meet with Mr Lister at the café.

However, matters took an unexpected turn when he disclosed that he wasn't actually in a position to step down.

Incensed, Honey subsequently expressed her frustration to Billy, insisting she'd been overlooked for the promotion due to her gender.
