When your parents are a pop star and a supermodel, money is no issue – even the Tooth Fairy is absolutely loaded. When Zayn Malik’s five-year-old daughter Khai lost her first gnasher, she found £500 lying under her pillow. Oh, to be a nepo baby. ‘I think I gave her a bit too much money from the tooth fairy,’ the ex-1D star admitted on the Call Her Daddy podcast. Khai’s mum Gigi Hadid – who split from Zayn in 2021 – wasn’t impressed with the three-figure sum, with Zayn adding, ‘She gave me shit’ for it.…

As the fallout around Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and his friendship with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein continues, the situation has left the royal family in crisis. King Charles, Prince William and Kate even went as far to make a rare public comment on the situation. ‘No one can blame them if they feel smug’ And, as the scandal reaches boiling point, we’re told Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are feeling a sense of relief that the spotlight is off them, as tensions with the Waleses return to the fore. ‘Meghan and Harry have long felt the royals have used them as scapegoats to distract people from much more damaging issues, such as Andrew and his ties to Epstein,’ an insider tells heat. ‘It was always hard for them to…

Kate Ferdinand has been open about her struggles since relocating to Dubai last year. She recently admitted that, while husband Rio loves their new life, she’s missing home a lot. Now, heat has learned that the influencer has issued an ultimatum. ‘Kate can’t see them being in Dubai forever. She’s told Rio she’ll give it until the end of this year. Then, if she’s still unhappy, they’ll have to consider leaving, even if that means splitting their time between there and the UK and spending more time apart,’ a source tells heat. ‘Kate has been very candid about her feelings and while she knows how lucky she is, she’s worried Dubai will never feel like home. She didn’t really want to move out there full-time – it was all Rio’s…

One of Britain’s most celebrated actors, Dame Judi Dench has spent nearly 70 years commanding stage and screen – portraying iconic roles from Shakespeare’s heroines to Queen Victoria and ‘M’ in the James Bond franchise. Speaking at Theatre Royal Bury St Edmunds, where she has been patron for 20 years, Judi, 91, reflects on her remarkable career, her love of live performance and the realities of ageing… Did you always want to be an actor? I wanted to be a designer! I went to York Art School, and my parents took me to see Michael Redgrave in King Lear at Stratford upon Avon and the set was simply sublime. But my brother was an actor, and I tried to follow him. My pa was a doctor and there was no television…

She burst onto our screens in Married At First Sight in 2023, but while Ella Morgan didn’t find long-lasting love on the E4 dating series, her career is flourishing. Having starred in Celebs Go Dating in 2024, Ella, 32, is also using her platform to advocate for trans rights. Having undergone her gender reassignment surgery in 2015, she was the first trans woman to star on MAFS and was matched with Nathaniel Valentino, but things didn’t work out and she was later paired with JJ Slater, who went on to date Katie Price. While their romance wasn’t to be, Ella found love again with Alex James Ali after meeting on Celebs Go Dating – but the pair separated in December that year, surrounding allegations that the hairdresser had been unfaithful. And…

It turned out to be one of the glittering jewels in Julia Roberts’ Queen of the Romcoms crown – but the actress very nearly turned down the role of Anna Scott in Notting Hill. Over 25 years on from the film, Julia, 58, revealed that she initially said ‘no’ to the Richard Curtis-written project, as she thought it was ‘the dumbest idea of any movie I could ever do… I’m going to play the world’s biggest movie star, and I do what? And then what happens? This sounds so f**king stupid,’ she’s said. Thankfully, Julia changed her mind and took up the role, alongside Hugh Grant – bagging herself a Golden Globe nomination in the process. But, there were some other stars who weren’t so smart… SILENTLY SCREAMING Michelle Pfeiffer…

ITV1, Sunday 22 & Monday 23 February, 9pm Left Bank Pictures are probably best known for making a little show called The Crown – all six glorious seasons of it. Now, they’re back in the royal drama game, albeit with this very different project, which is more of an intense true-crime four-parter, in which Sarah Ferguson, the former Duchess of York (played by Natalie Dormer, Game Of Thrones), is more of a supporting character. She enters the story when she employs a young working-class woman called Jane Andrews (Mia McKenna-Bruce from the recent Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials on Netflix) as her dresser. Andrews worked for Ferguson from 1988 to 1997. Four years later, she ended up in prison as a convicted murderer. TRUE STORY There’s a significant disclaimer, which says,…

SKY ONE, TUESDAY 24 FEBRUARY, 9PM BAFTA-winner and all-round ace human Danny Dyer can do pretty much anything, but can he run a caravan site on the Isle of Sheppey? That’s the premise of this funny, heartwarming series, in which Danny has invested in a site in Leysdown, ‘risking his money, reputation and sanity trying to bring back the great British holiday’. Luckily, he has daughter Dani to lean on, because in ep one, the caravan and chalet owners make their list of complaints and suggestions well known. Seeing the Dyers grapple with their duties, deal with the customers (a great mix of characters) and hang out with each other is enjoyable to watch. They bring the fun times (see page 30 for details), but it’s the bemused and patient…

DISNEY+, MONDAY 23 FEBRUARY Season one of Paradise had one of the greatest rug-pull twists ever at the end of its first episode. It started as a routine if compelling crime drama about who assassinated the President of the United States (played by James Marsden), whose dead body was discovered by his bodyguard Xavier (Sterling K Brown). Then everything got turned on its head in a way we won’t spoil here, in case you find the time to catch up with that first series in time for this second one to arrive. Suffice to say in season two, Xavier searches for his wife Teri (Enuka Okuma) who was presumed dead, while also trying to fathom how people survived the three years since the thing that happens at the end of…

CERT 15, 103 minutes, in cinemas 20 February STARRING: Charli XCX, Alexander Skarsgård, Jamie Demetriou, Rosanna A rquette DIRECTOR: A idan Zamiri THE PLOT: In a tongue-in-cheek mockumentary, Charli XCX prepares for her arena debut as her Brat album goes stratospheric. WHAT’S RIGHT WITH IT? In this hilarious send-up of modern fame, Charli acts an exasperated version of herself, surrounded by recognisable faces who all want to stay on the gravy train. An antidote to many picture-perfect pop documentaries, think The Office meets Spinal Tap, with a Kylie Jenner cameo. WHAT’S WRONG WITH IT? In-jokes about Charli may start to irritate – and if the lime-green Brat aesthetic turned you off in summer ’24, there’s a lot more here. VERDICT: Add film star to Charli’s CV– The Moment is a…

TV YOUR FRIENDS & NEIGHBOURS SEASON 2 Before this second series has arrived, Apple has commissioned a third season already. And no wonder when you’ve got Mad Men dude Jon Hamm in the lead role of suburban thief Andrew Cooper. In the new series, he doubles down on his criminal activity until the arrival of a new neighbour (James Marsden) threatens to expose his secrets. Apple TV, 3 April. TV RIVALS SEASON 2 It might seem a bit of a long way off, but Disney+ has confirmed the return date for hit Jilly Cooper adaptation Rivals, so we can mark it on our calendars. It will stream in two six-episode batches, with the second batch arriving later in the year. All the main characters will return, plus new guests including…

Another major blow has been dealt to Victoria and David Beckham amid their bitter family feud. According to reports, estranged son Brooklyn is planning to adopt a baby with wife Nicola Peltz, and sources tell heat that the Peltz-Beckhams are determined that Brooklyn’s parents will have nothing to do with their first grandchild, leaving them heartbroken. ‘Brooklyn and Nicola want to start their own family as quickly as possible and don’t see any reconciliation happening with his family in the near future, if ever,’ an insider tells heat. ‘The Beckhams haven’t been involved in this process in anyway, and as things stand, Brooklyn won’t be contacting them to let them know anything – they won’t even know when the baby arrives. Obviously, that’s heartbreaking for them, but as far Nicola…

After a turbulent period in their relationship, Kyle Walker and wife Annie Kilner appear to be back on track, with baby no5 on the way. And we’re told that Lauryn Goodman – who also shares son Kairo, five, and two-year-old daughter Kinara with the footballer – has been left blindsided by the news, and is out for revenge. ‘Lauryn thinks the situation is laughable. She knows things about Kyle that would shock Annie,’ an insider tells heat. ‘ Whether she’ll actually say anything is another question, but it makes her feel better about everything behind closed doors. She doesn’t think the relationship is solid, so the pregnancy news was a real shock. She found out about it at the exact same time as everyone else last week. It’s caused a…

It’s a grey, drizzly Friday and we’re sitting in the clubhouse of Priory Hill and Nutts Farm caravan site where you can get a cider/slush puppy on tap, two home-cooked meals for £20, and swap your prize tickets for a pirate rubber duck or a Styrofoam aeroplane. Just as we’re eyeing up the Biscoff sundae, Danny Dyer bounds over and greets us with a hug. ‘Alright, baby’, he exclaims, beaming behind his impressive ’tache. ‘Fred-Fred’s running a caravan site!’ The 48-year-old actor is, of course, referencing Freddie Jones, the beloved entrepreneur who captured our hearts in Disney’s adaptation of Jilly Cooper’s bonkbuster Rivals. But his latest TV show, The Dyers’ Caravan Park, is a far cry from the glitz and glamour of Cooper’s Rutshire. Over six episodes, he and eldest…

STYLE ICON Sodastream Art Mint We love this retro-style sparkling water maker, and it’s very easy to use, with a simple quick-connect CO2 canister system that clicks effortlessly into place. We especially like the side lever, which is quiet during fizzing and allows you to control exactly how fizzy you want your water. The bottles are sturdy and reusable, helping to cut down on plastic waste, and the canisters are a good size, making it a great option for families. There’s also a great range of flavours to choose from. Our only minor drawback is that, despite its sleek design, it does sit quite tall on the counter. PROS Easy to install the CO2 canister system. CONS Very tall, so takes up quite a bit of room. Sodastream.co.uk £139.99 OVERALL…

ITV1, SATURDAY 21 FEBRUARY, 7PM Believe it or not, this is the 19th series of Britain’s Got Talent as it returns to ITV1 on Saturday nights. Ant & Dec, fresh from their hit game show Limitless Win, are back as hosts, effortlessly handling the various eccentric figures who show up for the audition stages, and they’ll be joined by the judging panel of Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon, and, previously a guest judge representing the more youthful side of things, YouTube sensation KSI, now promoted to full-time judging duties instead of Bruno Tonioli. As ever, the winner gets £250,000 and a place on the Royal Variety Performance. See page 20 for more!…

BBC1, Saturday 21 February, 9.15pm Based on five of Marian Keyes’ bestselling books, and beautifully adapted by Stefanie Preissner (who also stars), this six-part series focuses on the trials and tribulations of Irish siblings the Walsh sisters, whose lives we have avidly followed for many years. HAPPY FAMILIES Preissner has a tough job on her hands, introducing all these beloved characters, their many issues and history in this first episode, but she deftly pulls it off. The majority of the compelling opener centres around the chaos wreaked by self-absorbed-yet-charming twenty-something Rachel (Caroline Menton), whose drug and alcohol addiction sabotages her relationship with her boyfriend Luke (Jay Duffy) and causes heartache for her loyal sister Anna (Louisa Harland) and fiancé Aidan (Samuel Anderson). Meanwhile, their other sisters are struggling, too. Scatty…

CHANNEL 4, MONDAY 23 FEBRUARY, 9PM From the makers of Partygate, this hard-hitting, morally outraging drama gives voice to the decades-long investigation into England’s water companies, detailing the real-life stories of the whistle blowers and victims affected by the polluted water. David Thewlis plays former Oxfordshire detective Ash, who notices the local river is becoming increasingly polluted and consults neighbour Peter (Jason Watkins), a biology professor. He recognises their local sewage works is dumping untreated sewage into the river – confirmed by a brave sewage plant worker (Asim Chaudhry).…

EASTENDERS MAYBE BABY The fabulous Penny Branning has been in need of a big story for months, and it looks as though actress Kitty Casteldine is about to get her chance to shine when Jack finds a pregnancy test. Over Sunday lunch, Penny eventually admits it’s hers, and it’s not long before Oscar clumsily lets slip to Vinny what’s going on. Will he stand by his girlfriend,? Elsewhere, Johnny finds himself on the receiving end of an indecent proposal – but will he sleep with slimy client Tim in order to save Callum’s career? CORRIE FATAL ATTRACTION They haven’t been married five minutes, but Bernie and Dev’s relationship might be in trouble if he ever finds out about her drug binge in Mal’s hotel room.

GOING FOR GOLD(ING) We can’t get over how brilliant the young actors are in Lord Of The Flies (BBC1/ iPlayer). And we’re not just talking about the leads David McKenna (Piggy), Winston Sawyers (Ralph), Lox Pratt (Jack) and Ike Talbut (Simon). Admittedly, while most of them are newbies, some do have acting in their blood. Did you know that twins Sam and Eric are played by Jason Flemyng’s sons Noah and Cassius? COOKING UP A STORM Matt Tebbutt is a welcome addition to the MasterChef: The Professionals’ (BBC1) judging panel. He has great chemistry with our faves Monica Galletti and Marcus Wareing, and he’s clearing relishing his new role. HIGH HEAVEN Speaking of things that we’ve learned this week, ever wondered what happened to Ace from Gladiators? His real name…

CERT 15, 113 minutes, in cinemas 20 February STARRING: Rose Byrne, A$AP Rocky, Danielle Macdonald DIRECTOR: Mary Bronstein THE PLOT: Linda (Byrne) has one hell of a juggle going on: a young daughter with a severe health condition; an absent husband; her own career as a psychotherapist; and a flooded apartment that requires her to move into a motel. No wonder she’s going off the rails… WHAT’S RIGHT WITH IT? While Linda may be less than a model parent, a brilliant (and Oscar-nominated) Rose Byrne makes the character totally watchable, as does the situation unfolded by writer-director Mary Bronstein. WHAT’S WRONG WITH IT? Hallucinatory flourishes were perhaps not needed in a film already plenty off-kilter. VERDICT: A fresh, original comedy-drama that rewards our attention.…

DONMAR WAREHOUSE, LONDON, FROM 20 JUNE Russell Tovey is on a roll. After his dazzling performance in the lead role in Russell T Davies’ Doctor Who spin-off The War Between The Land And The Sea in December, and his moving turn in the romantic thriller film Plainclothes, he’s now taking on the challenge of this new one-man play. Written by Chloë Moss, and based on the original films Den Skyldige and The Guilty (which starred Jake Gyllenhaal), the show depicts one night in the life of Joe, a police officer dealing with a 999 call from a woman named Emily. The story plays out in real time as Joe tries to save the woman’s life under intense circumstances. The production is directed by Felix Barrett, of Punchdrunk company fame, so…

It’s been almost a year since Holly Willoughby last presented a major TV show, but that could be about to change. Sources tell heat she’s now banking on a new Netflix documentary in a bid to save her career – but only if she can convince husband Dan Baldwin to let the cameras in. ‘Holly’s been offered a three-part, fly-on-the-wall Netflix docuseries, similar to Victoria Beckham’s. She sees it as her chance to reset and start rebuilding her fanbase by showing the side of her that no one really knows, in the most raw and real way,’ an insider tells heat. The source continues, ‘Holly is painfully aware that she needs to reinvent herself if she wants to stay relevant, which has prompted a huge shift in her thinking. She…

It’s been on our screens for almost 20 years, and now Britain’s Got Talent is back! The ITV talent show returns for its 19th series on 21 February, and it sounds like the judges had a whale of a time filming auditions in their ‘spiritual home’ of Blackpool – especially Simon Cowell. The music mogul, 66, reveals, ‘My hotel had a roller coaster – it was amazing. And they’ve got the best joke shop ever, so we bought stink bombs. It was brilliant.’ However, show bosses were unimpressed by the judges’ antics, as Amanda Holden laughs, ‘Word got around that the stink bombs had been bought and the producers gave us a big talking to.’ After starring as a guest judge on the last series, YouTuber KSI became a permanent…

She found fame on Geordie Shore back in 2011, and Charlotte Crosby has gone on to carve out a successful career away from her partying persona. Now a business owner and mum of two, nights on the Toon are a distant memory – and that’s not going to change. ‘I would never go back to Geordie Shore,’ she tells heat. ‘Never in a million years!’ Charlotte, 35, says she’s feeling a bit under the weather when we chat – not that you’d know. She’s as upbeat as ever as she discusses her home renovation, wedding plans with fiancé Jake Ankers, and expanding their family – the couple already share daughters Alba, three, and Pixi, one. Despite spinning many plates, she’s still got time for TV. From winning Celebrity Big Brother…

BBC1, Sunday 22 February, 7pm This year’s ceremony takes place at London’s Royal Festival Hall and is hosted by all-round legend Alan Cumming. And it should be a star-studded event, what with the likes of Jacob Elordi, Timothée Chalamet, Leo DiCaprio, Emma Stone and Paul Mescal all up for gongs. The most nominated film is One Battle After Another, followed by vampire horror Sinners and weepy Shakespeare drama Hamnet. Here’s our guide to the main categories.

DISNEY+, THURSDAY 26 FEBRUARY The hospital-set US sitcom Scrubs, created by Bill Lawrence (Ted Lasso, Shrinking), lasted nine seasons and 182 episodes, ending in 2010. Now, it’s getting a revival because, well, everything does these days. But we are genuinely excited to see how beloved characters JD (Zach Braff), Turk (Donald Faison) and Elliot (Sarah Chalke) are doing all these years later, especially bearing in mind that medicine has changed quite a lot over the last 16 years. Other returning guest stars include John C McGinley as the brilliantly grumpy Dr Perry Cox. Let’s hope it’s better than the disappointing Frasier reboot……

NETFLIX, THURSDAY 26 FEBRUARY We devoured part one of season four in one sitting, enjoying the upstairs-downstairs focus and the excitement and drama of Benedict (Luke Thompson) fancying maid Sophie (Yerin Ha) while also pining for the Lady in Silver (also, Sophie). What we did not love is the way Benedict belittled the smart, confident maid in episode four, suggesting she was only good enough to be his mistress. Mistress! Now, we finally see if Benedict can redeem himself – getting over himself and his social conditioning – or if Sophie will, understandably, tell him where to shove his paintbrush. As die-hard romantics, we hope it’s the former outcome.…

APPLE TV, FRIDAY 27 FEBRUARY The most intriguing thing about this fantasy adventure series featuring loads of CGI King Kong/Gozilla-adjacent monsters is that one of its main characters – Lee Shaw – is played as an old geezer by the great Kurt Russell, while the younger version is played by Kurt’s actual son Wyatt Russell. Stunt casting at its best. The young Lee founded Monarch, an organisation that tracks down such monsters, and in season two, buried secrets come to light that enable the Monarch heroes to gather on Kong’s Skull Island, where they find a new, mysterious village where a gigantic Titan creature rises from the sea. Nerdy, yes, but fun!…

CERT 15, 99 minutes, in cinemas 20 February STARRING: Georgina Campbell, Joe Keery, Liam Neeson DIRECTOR: Jonny Campbell THE PLOT: At a Kansas self-storage business, parolee Travis (Keery) and new employee Naomi (Campbell) work the graveyard shift. Little do they know the facility has been built on top of a sealed former military lab – one that contains a deadly fungus that arrived on Earth via a chunk of Skylab space station that fell out of orbit decades ago. Thanks to global warming, the fungus has seeped from its burial chamber, ready to infect any host in its path – with grisly consequences. WHAT’S RIGHT WITH IT? Scripted by David Koepp (Jurassic Park, Spider-Man), this enjoyably icky comedy horror sees a variety of ne’er-do-wells – including the storage facility’s crooked…
