Mint creator pitches spin-off for key character and addresses future

As new BBC drama Mint arrives on screens, the show’s creator Charlotte Regan has teased whether we could see more beyond its first eight-part season – and revealed the character she would most like to see a spin-off for. Speaking exclusively with Radio Times alongside star Benjamin Coyle-Larner, Regan was asked which moment, or moments, from the series she was most looking forward for viewers to see, and they centred primarily around one character – Lindsay Duncan’s Ollie. The matriarch of the show’s central crime family, mother to its head Dylan, and grandmother to the show’s lead character Emma, Ollie is a formidable force, and one Regan is excited for fans to meet. “I think I always look forward to people seeing Ollie’s moments, and seeing Lindsay as Ollie,” she said. “It feels different to other things I’ve seen her in. Even the first day I saw her on set, I was like, ‘Oh my God, that’s a proper transformation.’ So, I think I get excited for people to meet Ollie.” “I would love a …

Debbie was diagnosed in April 2025, and the storyline will ultimately lead to Devaney’s departure. In a new interview, the former Dinnerladies favourite opened up about leaving the show, vowing to “make the most” of the time she has left on the job. “I think when an actor gets to a certain age they think, ‘This is quite nice. I can go home every night, I can have my tea, I’m not living out of a suitcase.’ And it’s nice to have a regular wage, because as an actor you never know what’s next,” she told BANG Showbiz (via Female First).

Victoria Beckham with her eldest son Brooklyn Peltz Beckham Victoria Beckham has spoken out for the first time about her family’s estrangement from her eldest son Brooklyn Peltz Beckham.  Speaking to The Wall Street Journal in an interview published on Thursday, the former Spice Girls performer was asked about her family’s ongoing public rift with her eldest child.   Without saying Brooklyn’s name, the fashion designer replied: “We love our children so much.” She continued: “We’ve always tried to be the best parents that we can be. And you know, we’ve been in the public eye for more than 30 years right now, and all we’ve ever tried to do is protect our children and love our children. “And, you know, that’s all I really want to say about it.” Victoria and her husband Sir David Beckham share four children – 27-year-old Brooklyn, 23-year-old Romeo, 21-year-old Cruz and 14-year-old Harper.

Strictly’s Janette Manrara addresses future of hosting role amid new presenter rumours

Amid a flurry of exits from Strictly Come Dancing, a question mark had been placed over the futures of It Takes Two hosts Janette Manrara and Fleur East. It had been claimed that the hosts of the companion series had been axed, though the BBC said in a statement it was “factually incorrect to claim that either has been axed”.

Harry Potter legend addresses possible return in upcoming HBO reboot amid recast rumours

Harry Potter star Ralph Fiennes has addressed whether he would reprise the role of Voldemort in the upcoming streaming series, where the sinister villain is yet to be cast. Warner Bros-owned streaming platform HBO Max, which only recently launched in the UK, is behind a new adaptation of the Harry Potter saga, which hopes to be an even more thorough and faithful live-action version. Recently, a slew of images from the new series – including first looks at Paapa Essiedu (Babies, The Capture) as Professor Snape and Nick Frost (Transaction, How to Train Your Dragon) as Hagrid – attracted a huge amount of attention. But while several iconic roles have been recast, a huge question remains over the role of Harry Potter’s terrifying arch-nemesis, Lord Voldemort, who Fiennes portrayed in five of the eight original films. Appearing on The Claudia Winkleman Show last night, the Conclave star discussed whether he’d return to the role – and suggested that his position on the matter had changed. Want to see this content?

Ciara Miller Addresses Amanda, West Summer House Scandal: ‘Thriving’

Ciara Miller subtly addressed the Summer House scandal at Tuesday night’s Euphoria premiere, promising her supporters she’s thriving amid the controversy. The reality star attended the season three debut for the HBO series, where she very briefly spoke with Entertainment Tonight and also interviewed the star-studded cast for HBO Max. In a short and sweet interview with the former outlet, Miller was asked how she’s doing, to which she responded, “We’re thriving.” “We’re at Euphoria, how can we not?” she quickly quipped. Elsewhere, Miller interviewed the show’s stars, including Sydney Sweeney, Hunter Schafer and Maude Apatow, but her chat with the Christy star was certainly the buzziest of the three. A piece of Miller’s interview with Sweeney was shared on the HBO Max Instagram, where the two were seemingly discussing Sweeney’s character Cassie stealing Maddy’s (Alexa Demie), her best friend, boyfriend Nate (Jacob Elordi) in season two. “I mean, if you steal your friend’s ex-boyfriend…” Miller began in the clip, to which The Housemaid star rebutted, shaking her head and replying, “It’s not good.” “What …
