Published by Sam Flores

Clarkson’s Farm, the popular series following Jeremy Clarkson and his attempts to run his 1,000-acre Diddly Squat Farm, has gotten an exciting update from Prime Video regarding its upcoming sixth season. The fifth season premiered earlier this year, during which the presenter revealed that he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2025. He underwent treatment off-screen, and confirmed in June that he was in remission. With the series continuing to be popular with viewers, the show has received an update from Tara Erer, Head of UK & Northern Europe Originals at Amazon MGM Studios. Speaking to RadioTimes, they confirmed that filming was under way.

‘We’re disabled but our benefits were taken away when we became Nottinghamshire pensioners’

‘We’re disabled but our benefits were taken away when we became Nottinghamshire pensioners’

Published by Sam Flores

Des Conway’s disability bus pass was usually renewed every five years. But when he got his last one, he noticed that it would expire less than six months later. “I couldn’t understand why they’d only give it to me for less than a year,” he says. He soon realised that the expiry date listed on the card was his 66th birthday, April 6 – the exact date he’d officially become an old age pensioner – and began to put two and two together. His pass was going to be replaced by a pensioner’s one instead – meaning he’d no longer be eligible to travel for free before 9.30am in the morning on weekdays. “This is discriminatory,” Des wrote in a letter to Nottingham City Council, asking them to reinstate disability passes. But the council said it wasn’t “in the position to make a change” to the policy, which had been in place for 10 years. “This reflects the fact that one of the main objectives of providing the pre-9.30am Mobility Pass Concession is to help …

‘No chance’ Meghan’s possible return to acting was reason for Sussexes’ UK move, industry insiders say

‘No chance’ Meghan’s possible return to acting was reason for Sussexes’ UK move, industry insiders say

Published by Sam Flores

The Sussexes’ return to the UK has been linked to a possible resumption of Meghan’s acting career – but senior TV executives have told Sky News “there’s no chance” that is the reason. The executives, who asked not to be named, also noted that while casting the duchess might generate interest, it would also be “risky”. Harry and Meghan landed in the UK this week – just days after announcing they would relocate to the country with their children Archie and Lilibet. The couple stepped back from royal duties in 2020 and went to live in California. The surprise announcement sparked speculation – and the duchess was said to have had talks about a role in season three of Guy Ritchie’s Netflix hit, The Gentlemen. One producer who has worked with Netflix told us: “You don’t uproot your family for one role in a show.” They added: “There’s no chance the reason they’re coming back is TV roles like The Gentlemen.” As for whether Meghan could join the cast of the show, they added: “I …

Kylie Jenner wanted to ‘enjoy the last half of her 20s’

Kylie Jenner wanted to ‘enjoy the last half of her 20s’

Published by Sam Flores

Kylie Jenner has been determined to “enjoy the last half of [her] 20s” without having any more children. The 29-year-old reality star already has Stormi, eight, and Aire, four, with ex-partner Travis Scott, and she doesn’t intend to have any more kids for the time being. Kylie told Who What Wear: “I made a promise to myself at 25, that I was not going to have any more children — right now — and really just enjoy the last half of my 20s because the first half was like, ‘You’re pregnant,’ and then it’s the year of recovery and, you know, my mental state, my postpartum depression, and all those things. “It felt like I lost some of those young years of my life.” Kylie made her acting debut in The Moment, the mockumentary film directed by Aidan Zamiri, earlier this year, but she’s slightly hesitant about doing any more acting work in the short term. The brunette explained that she’s focused on her children and her business interests for the moment. Kylie – who …

iOS 27 Public Beta: It’s… Fine I Guess?

iOS 27 Public Beta: It’s… Fine I Guess?

Published by skeptic

René Ramos/CNET Apple released the public beta of iOS 27 on Monday, July 13, about a month after the company announced the upcoming iPhone software at its Worldwide Developers Conference in June. After living with the developer and public betas, I can confidently say the upcoming software is not astounding, but also not a huge disappointment. The iOS 27 betas have a few useful new features that I enjoyed, like the big widgets. But there were an equal number of gimmicky features, like the new Reframe and Extend tools for photos. Despite the focus on AI and a revamped Siri, the software hasn’t convinced me that I need, or want, those AI features. If, like me, you don’t use generative AI regularly, a lot of this update might not feel all that useful. From my time with the developer and public betas, it feels like Apple did more fine-tuning under your iPhone’s hood than anything. It’s important to remember the update is still in development, so if you want these features and can’t wait until …

Get the latest entertainment news, reviews and star-studded interviews with our Independent Culture email Get the latest entertainment news with our free Culture newsletter Get the latest entertainment news with our free Culture newsletter A show about Jamie and Rebekah Vardy’s move to northern Italy as the dust settles on the “Wagatha Christie” scandal should, in theory, be television gold. Among the present crop of low-key but essentially forgettable WAGs – can you name any of the latest England squad’s other halves? It’s a far cry from the glory days of Baden-Baden – Rebekah is an outspoken, love-her-or-loathe-her character. Her vaguely villainous reputation has only been compounded by the mad celebrity pageantry of the “Wagatha” high court libel case, which she launched against fellow WAG Coleen Rooney, who accused Rebekah in a notorious 2019 tweet of leaking stories about her to the media (Rebekah lost the case, and later agreed to pay 90 per cent of Coleen’s legal costs). All of this – her status as the Maleficent of the WAGs, her willingness to mouth …
