Forget football – these days, nothing makes David Beckham happier than tending to his beloved vegetable patch at his £12million home in the Cotswolds. If he isn't showing off his latest homegrown produce, he's busy beekeeping and making honey. And last week, Victoria revealed her husband had added jam-making to his ever-growing list of hobbies. Now, heat can reveal the couple want to open their own farm shop – following in the footsteps of their neighbours Jeremy Clarkson and his partner Lisa Hogan, who sell their own produce both at their farm, Diddly Squat, and at a shop in the pub Jeremy bought last year. ‘David has been working really hard over the past few years on growing his own fruit and veg, as well as his honey, as it…

As childhood sweethearts, Wayne and Coleen Rooney have been together for all of life's big moments. And with the retired footballer turning 40 next month, heat has learned that his devoted wife is in the depths of party planning – and that she sees Wayne's milestone birthday bash as a golden opportunity to reunite the WAGs from the noughties. ‘Coleen wants to go all out with the party – she's not given herself any budget limitations,’ an insider tells heat. ‘The plan is to have lots of celebrations, but she wants the centre piece to be a huge bash at their home – they have more than enough space, and this is just the kind of event she envisioned having when they were building the place.’ The source continues, ‘All…

Steven Knight has been busy. Very busy. As the writer most famous for creating the phenomenon that is Peaky Blinders (with a spin-off film on the way soon), he's created and/or written myriad other TV projects in the last couple of years, from the ongoing period saga SAS Rogue Heroes and rock music drama This Town, to crazy US spy thriller The Veil (shown recently on Channel 4) and recently, punchy historical drama A Thousand Blows on Disney+, whose second series arrives next year. And he's writing the new James Bond film, no less. Somehow in the middle of all those projects, Knight has found time to pen this period epic telling the story of the succession drama within the Guinness family in the 19th Century. THE FAM As the…

This series focuses on utter doofus Roddy Ho (Christopher Chung), the tech nerd, who somehow has a glamorous new girlfriend. But a series of increasingly weird and dangerous events occur across London, it seems there might be…

NETFLIX, THURSDAY 25 SEPTEMBER Mae Martin created and starred in the brilliant Netflix/Channel 4 romantic comedy Feel Good which lasted for two glorious seasons back in 2020/21. Now, four years on, stand-up comedian Martin is back with this ambitious eight-part mystery thriller series which, despite wryly funny moments, isn't really a comedy at all. Mae plays Alex, a cop who arrives in the small town of Tall Pines, Virginia with his pregnant wife, Laura (Sarah Gadon, True Detective), only to get embroiled with troubled local teens who are being forced to join a creepy boarding school run by a mysterious figure called Evelyn Wade, played by the great Toni Collette (Hereditary).

From the team who brought us Mr Bates vs The Post Office comes this bold and fascinating drama about the phone hacking scandal. Written by the great Jack Thorne (Adolescence), it's a seven-part series set between 2002 and 2012, inter weaving two real life stories: first, how investigative journalist Nick Davies, played by David Tennant, uncovered evidence of phone hacking at the News Of The World; and second, the investigation into the unsolved murder of private investigator Daniel Morgan, led by Met detective Dave Cook, played by Robert Carlyle. But we only see how the two stories are connected as the series reaches its latter stages.

SKY MAX/NOW, THURSDAY 25 SEPTEMBER, 10PM It's time for the seventh and final season of Brassic and hopes that it'll go out with a bang are seemingly dampened by the fact that Vinnie is opting for a more wholesome lifestyle for the sake of his mental health, and the others want a quiet life, too.

FAMILY FUN We can't get over how similar Stacey Solomon and her sister Jemma look and sound on Stacey & Joe (BBC1 / iPlayer).

Molly-Mae Hague was every inch the proud girlfriend when she surprised Tommy Fury at the finish line of his 100km triathlon in the French Riviera. But the celebrations, which also involved their two-year-old daughter Bambi, quickly became overshadowed by shocking claims that the sportsman – a boxer by trade – had cheated. The gruelling challenge comprised a 2km swim, an 80km bike leg and an 18km run to the finish, but official race results appear to show that Tommy, 26, ‘DNF’ [did not finish], with his bike splits showcasing that he was not logged past the 48km mark. Tommy has not responded to the allegations, but his Instagram post gushing about his achievement – ‘100km triathlon on 10 days training… completed’ – was flooded with angry comments. One read, ‘Makes…

Heat was lucky enough to be right at the heart of the action as the NTAs unfolded at London's O2 arena last week – and we hobnobbed with stars from all corners of the celeb world. A year on from her prestigious win at the 2024 awards, Davina McCall got emotional as she recalled her roller-coaster 12 months. The TV presenter, 57, was honoured with the Special Recognition prize at last year's ceremony, but unbeknownst to the public, she had been diagnosed with a rare type of brain tumour. ‘Last year I knew I had a brain tumour, and I knew I was being operated on six weeks later. When I picked up the award,’ she tells us, her voice breaking. ‘It meant so much but no one else knew…

We're mid-rehearsals and we're doing a photo shoot so we're scantily clad. I'm standing dressed as a cowboy, it's ridiculous,’ says Brendan Cole.

While they may have left Strictly – Ian was the first to quit in 2009, although he continued hosting It Takes Two until 2020, with Pasha the most recent exit in 2019 – Brendan, 49, James, also 49, Ian, 54, Pasha, 45, and Vincent, 46, are still very much synonymous with their stints on the show.…

Did you meet Nick Davies who you play in the series? Before filming, I went down to his place in Sussex. Nick was exactly as I imagined. He fulfilled my expectations. He was open and articulate. An exciting person to meet. It was great to get to visit him in his den, as it were, and get a sense of what motivates him, who he is and the kind of person he is.
