SAVVY SAVERS Toni Laites and Cach Mercer are our Love Island 2025 winners – but don’t expect shopping sprees with their £50,000 winnings. Toni revealed she’ll ‘pay off student loans and invest’, while Cach added, ‘Cost of living crisis, I’ll save it.’ BODY SWAPPING Khloé Kardashian and Kris Jenner have got involved in some Freakier Friday fun by swapping bodies. ‘I’m inside you,’ shouted Kris, dressed as Khloé, while Khloé as Kris jokingly replied, ‘Just like 41 years ago!’ RECOUPLING Fairy tales do come true!

Tommy Fury is opening up on life, love and fighting in a new BBC documentary this month. Here, he tells heat all about letting the cameras in… This docu is access-all-areas, but is there anything you didn’t want to be featured on camera? Bambi only appears on the show in little snippets because I don’t believe in shoving a camera in a child’s face. Whatever I’m doing with Bambi in the docu, like getting her ready for nursery or going to soft play, is already a part of her routine. She may have a mother and father in the limelight and there’s a lot going on, but she’s a baby and she didn’t choose that life. What about your relationship with Molly-Mae – did you set any boundaries there? Definitely.…

Justin Timberlake sparked a thousand memes when he told police last year that his arrest was ‘going to ruin the tour’, but still, the singer powered on. However, after criticism that he’s been acting strangely during his Forget Tomorrow world tour and amid rumours that his marriage is on the rocks, Justin has now revealed that he’s been struggling behind the scenes. In an Instagram statement, Justin, 44, shared last week, ‘I’ve been battling some health issues, and was diagnosed with Lyme disease, which I don’t say so you feel bad for me, but to shed some light on what I’ve been up against… If you’ve experienced this disease or know someone who has, then you’re aware living with this can be relentlessly debilitating, both mentally and physically.’ heat’s insider…

Four years after it started, the final episode of And Just Like That is airing this week. And while viewers are gutted that the Sex And The City world is coming to an end, no one is more upset than actress Sarah Jessica Parker, who has been playing Carrie Bradshaw since 1998. The news came as a shock to fans two weeks ago, when writer, director and show runner Michael Patrick King released a statement saying, ‘While I was writing the last episode of season three, it became clear to me that this might be a wonderful place to stop.’ He and franchise star SJP ‘held off announcing the news’ until there were only three episodes left, as they ‘didn’t want the word “final” to overshadow the fun of watching the…

OLIVIA ATTWOOD Olivia was one of the first stars in the UK to embrace the craze – and she seems to have a doll in every colour. Proving her obsession, the former Love Island star even hosted a Labubu-themed party for her 34th birthday back in May. LISA Blackpink’s Lisa has been open about her love of the toys. The 28-year-old singer – who is often credited by fans for making them popular – previously said, ‘Labubu is my baby.’ MICHELLE YEOH Oscar-winning actress Michelle, 62, took to Instagram to show off two of her furry collectables. Tagging Pop Mart – the Chinese retailer that sells the dolls – she wrote alongside, ‘Great surprise after a long day.’ STORMI WEBSTER Kylie Jenner’s seven-year-old daughter has a vast Labubu collection –…

DADDY DAYCARE Hitting back at ‘deadbeat dad’ allegations, Mo Gilligan has seemingly confirmed that he has a secret son. Mo, 37 – whose current girlfriend Taia Tulher, 28, is heavily pregnant – posted a video of him spending time with one-year-old Rudi. It comes after model Selina Christoforou, 35, alleged she could ‘count on her fingers and toes’ how many times the comedian had seen their son. CHILDHOOD MEMORIES Princess Andre has opened up about growing up in the spotlight, admitting she wishes she’d had a ‘happier childhood’. Princess, 18, revealed, ‘I had so many things on my plate at a young age. I wish sometimes that I could have not had things in the back of my mind so young.’ HARD LAUNCHES It’s PDA central for Zara McDermott, who…

DISNEY+, WEDNESDAY AUGUST 20 There have been previous films and documentaries about this story, but this eight-part drama series looks like the most comprehensive attempt yet to explore the events surrounding one of the most controversial and renowned murder cases in recent history. It all started in 2007, when US college student Amanda Knox, then 20, arrived in Perugia, Italy, to study abroad only to be wrongfully imprisoned for the murder of Meredith Kercher a few weeks later. Grace Van Patten (Tell Me Lies) takes on the role of Knox, the woman who became the focus of massive media scrutiny, and the series is exec produced by Knox herself, along with Monica Lewinsky, who knows a thing or two about media scrutiny. Written by This Is Us writerproducer KJ Steinberg,…

BBC3, TUESDAY 19 AUGUST, 9PM We’ve already had the series At Home With The Furys, which followed boxer Tyson Fury and his family, including, of course, his brother, Love Islander Tommy and his partner Molly-Mae. Now, from the same production company, we get this new fly-on-the-wall series focusing on Tommy and his recent ups and downs, as he attempts to get his life back on track after he damaged his hand in his last fight and spent a year outside the ring. With unprecedented access to Tommy and his inner circle, the series covers the build-up to his comeback fight and his daily family life. Big up, Bambi…

ITV1, Sundays, 8pm The two popular crime drama series that actor Adrian Dunbar is involved in could not be more different. Well, they could if there were no crimes in one of them, but you know what I mean. There’s Line Of Duty, in which he plays the already legendary Superintendent Ted Hastings, who is famously interested in one thing and one thing only, and that’s bent coppers, which of course means he heads up the police anticorruption unit. It’s an insanely fast-moving, hectic whirlwind of a show and one of the greatest examples of the police drama genre in TV history. And the good news is that Dunbar recently revealed on the Pilot TV Podcast that he and the rest of the cast are just waiting for creator Jed…

(Orion, £18.99) heat BOOK OF THE WEEK Journalist, author and podcaster Anna is also known as Mother Pukka on Instagram, so couldn’t be better placed to write a novel about the dark side of influencing. And prepare yourself as this one gets very dark indeed in its brutal, unflinching depiction of a woman unravelling. Our heroine (though you might not like her very much at times) is 49-year-old Alexandra, who’s just been fired from her job at a law firm, is married to a man who ignores her and mum to a very angry teenage daughter. The only place she doesn’t feel alone is online – and by hitting out at those who have the ‘perfect’ life. Raw, honest and (thankfully) funny at times, this is one woman’s journey to…

HOLLY SMALE (CENTURY, £16.99) Meteorologist Margot is not exactly living her best life. After her decade-long relationship ends, she initiates self-destruct mode and begins trashing her career and taking down the men she has been meeting on dating apps. But that all changes when she has a vision of a man she has never seen before – who then walks into her life in the shape of single dad Henry. After that, her future begins to unfold one glimpse at a time, and Margot soon realises there’s nothing she can do to change fate. So, can she learn to embrace it and work out how to live for the moment? This bold premise deals with themes of heartbreak and loss with heart and humour.…

With the top vacancy at US Vogue still open after Anna Wintour stepped down as Editor-in-Chief in June, rumours abound that Victoria Beck ham could be up for taking over the throne. Speculation was sparked after fashion commentator Osama Chabbi recently posted on X, ‘Victoria Beck ham could actually be the perfect fit to lead Vogue. She’s simultaneously popular and unattainable, and she’s also seen as an undebatable arbiter of taste. She’s a Tom Ford in her own way. Call me crazy, but I can sense it.’ While she resigned from being Vogue’s Editor-in-Chief after 37 years at the helm, Anna, 75, will remain the title’s Global Editorial Director. And we’re told that Victoria, 51, would ‘absolutely love’ to take the coveted position at the American edition of the fashion…

After spending decades afraid to embrace her sexuality, Dame Kelly Holmes is now engaged to her girlfriend of four years, Louise Cullen. A source revealed, ‘It’s a lovely happy ending after she spent years thinking she was going to be arrested for having gay relationships while she was in the army. It was at a time when homosexuality was still illegal for serving troops.’ Kelly – who joined the army aged 17, before becoming a professional middle-distance runner and winning two Olympic golds – and massage therapist Louise originally met in 2021 through an online fitness community launched during the pandemic. And although the pair are usually tight-lipped about their romance, in January 2024, Kelly, 55, shared, ‘I don’t want to go all soft and, as you know, it takes…

SHAKIRA Plugging her new haircare line, the pop queen proved her hips still don’t lie in a blush lace corset and ivory trousers – we love the tulle trailing down one leg.

After being on and off with girlfriend Harriett Blackmore since leaving Love Island: All Stars at the start of the year, Ronnie Vint has admitted things have been difficult between them. Speaking to Olivia Attwood on Surf’s Come Clean In 15, Ronnie, 28, said, ‘We just haven’t seen each other. We’re not spending much time together and it’s caused a few problems. That’s where we’re at currently – just trying to work through it.’ But Ronnie might want to adjust his ‘working through it’ skills after revealing to Olivia – who is married to his BFF, Bradley Dack - that he would be up for appearing on Love Island again. Yes, he’s on for yet another stint in the villa. When asked if he would ‘do a Casey’ – referring to…

Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson’s unconventional relationship has long fascinated royal fans. Despite divorcing almost 30 years ago, the pair have remained close friends and still live together at Royal Lodge in Windsor. Now, shock claims have emerged about their marriage in a new bombshell book. The biography, Entitled: The Rise And Fall Of The House Of York, claims that Andrew was branded a ‘serial sex addict’ by Jeffrey Epstein – with the late convicted sex offender reportedly claiming the disgraced prince was ‘even kinkier’ than him. It’s also alleged that the couple – who are parents to Princess Beatrice, 37, and Princess Eugenie, 35 – had an ‘open marriage’. According to royal author Andrew Low nie, Andrew, 65, slept with more than 12 women before their first anniversary, while…

One Direction heartthrob Harry Styles is loving life this summer, if recent sightings of him living la dolce vita in Italy with a new female companion are any thing to go by. Harry, 31, made headlines after he was seen sightseeing in Rome with Belgian-Congolese designer Kim Mupangilai. The singer was seen wandering around St Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City, and roaming the backstreets of the Italian capital with Kim while clutching a bottle of wine. A source says, ‘Harry loves nothing more than showing people his favourite spots in Italy. He also loves art, and Kim has been a great source of inspiration.’ It seems Kim isn’t the only object of his desires. Harry’s reportedly fallen in love with the small Italian village of Civita di Bagnoregio after spending…

Engaged? Florence Pugh & Finn Cole Despite neither Florence, 29, nor Finn, 29, publicly confirming their romance – which has been rumoured since September 2024 – it’s now been suggested that the acting duo have secretly taken things to the next level. Engaged!

TATE McRAE If there’s one pop star who keeps us coming back for more, it has got to be Tate. Taking inspiration from the OG queen of pop (that’s Britney – duh), we’re talking hipster jeans, micro-shorts, ultra-cropped tees and super-high heels that are made for dancing – or jumping in a sports car! SABRINA CARPENTER We’re going to keep this short and sweet, as Sabrina has been a very busy woman recently. Fancy giving your wardrobe a taste of her style? Opt for pastel-toned pieces adorned with cheeky details such as lace and ruffles. Oh, and obviously platform heels are a must – she’s only 5ft tall, after all. DOECHII The self-proclaimed ‘swamp princess’ likes to channel plenty of main character energy in runway-worthy outfits, but our faves tend…

Fromher'redflag list' -which included men with hatchbacks and non-coffee drinkers -to her squeals of enthusiasm over neck tattoos, Jamie Marinos provided some of MAFS Australia's most iconic moments. But while her sense of humour provided much-needed light relief during the series, she didn't have an easy ride with husband Dave Hand. The couple, having started strong, imploded after Jamie told him she loved him, prompting Dave to take a step back. They patched things up in time for final vows, but split before the reunion episode. Now happily single - and causing the rumour mill to work overtime around her friendship with fellow alum Eliot Donovan - the 29 year old is visiting the UK to share what she's learnt about perfect dates, supporting friends, and how you know when…

Tell us a bit about series two of 007: Road To A Million. What can viewers expect? It’s a different series from the first one. There’s more interaction between me and the contestants, which is a great improvement. It’s also more Bond-related. You meet the contestants briefly at the beginning of this series. What was that like – was there a palpable air of nervousness? Yes, I think they were nervous. It was a hard job for them. It’s far more dramatic than it was the last time. Can you tell us more about your role as The Controller? I now have an assistant in the Control Room, which feels very Bond. She gives me information about the contestants as I watch them on monitors – and she did a…

SKY MAX/NOW, FRIDAY 22 AUGUST We’ve had to wait three years for this second season of the super-fun action fantasy comedy series following the adventures of Chris Smith, aka Peacemaker (John Cena), the outrageous vigilante superhero who is searching for peace at any cost, and by any means necessary. The delay is understandable because the show happens to be created by James Gunn, who’s been ma king the new Superman film, and in fact this series follows on from the events in that hit movie. New cast members include Frank Grillo, David Denman, Sol Rodriguez and Tim Meadows.…

It also turns one of mythology’s most famous women into a modern and relatable feminist icon.…
