Emily Atack has confirmed she will marry her fiancé Alistair Garner in September, revealing she has thoroughly enjoyed the planning process as the couple prepare to tie the knot. The actress, 36, who got engaged to the scientist in July 2025 following the birth of their son Barney, now two, opened up about the upcoming wedding in an interview with Luxury London Magazine. “I think I’ve nailed it.

Tom Hardy has been dropped from the Paramount+ crime drama MobLand ahead of its third series, following a string of reported clashes with producers and growing tension with co-star Dame Helen Mirren, who sources say became increasingly frustrated with his on-set behaviour. The actor’s departure was first reported by The Puck newsletter, written by former Hollywood Reporter editorial director Matthew Belloni, which stated that Paramount had opted not to pick up Hardy for season three. The newsletter attributed the decision to “clashes with producers Jez Butterworth and David Glasser, among others, during the recent production of season two.” Prior to…

A new sub-strain of Ebola that scientists believe jumped from fruit bats to humans has killed more than 200 people in the Democratic Republic of Congo, with the World Health Organisation escalating its threat assessment to “very high” as experts warn the outbreak may have been spreading undetected for months before it was identified. The crisis has grown with alarming speed. Since the WHO declared a public health emergency last Sunday, suspected cases surged from 246 to around 750 while the death toll climbed from 65 to 177 in a matter of days. Total infections are now estimated at around…

A mother of two has swapped her life on land for permanent residence on a cruise ship, raising her young children at sea for six months at a time — and says her son and daughter have absolutely no idea their upbringing is anything out of the ordinary. Jessie Trondeau, 40, left her home in Pennsylvania to live aboard a cruise ship with her six-year-old son and four-year-old daughter, documenting the family’s life at sea for her social media following. She told People magazine that the arrangement came about so the children could spend time with their father, Krasimir, who…

More than four in five dogs show signs of fear or anxiety in everyday situations, according to the largest study of its kind — raising significant concerns about the mental wellbeing of millions of family pets and prompting experts to urge owners to seek veterinary help before mild anxiety escalates into aggression. Researchers from Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences analysed behavioural data from 43,517 dogs enrolled by their owners in the Dog Aging Project, asking owners nine questions designed to assess the levels of anxiety and fearfulness in their pets. The results, published in the journal…

Some of the passengers and crew who were quarantined at a Merseyside hospital following a hantavirus outbreak on a cruise ship are set to be discharged on Wednesday, after completing 72 hours of isolation — though they will be required to remain at home for a further 42 days. Those held at Arrowe Park Hospital in Wirral include 20 British nationals, a German national resident in the UK, and a Japanese passenger, all of whom were aboard the Dutch expedition vessel MV Hondius when the outbreak was confirmed. Not everyone eligible to leave will do so, however. It is understood…

Katie Price’s husband Lee Andrews has been caught out in a fresh embarrassment after video footage posted to his own Instagram account revealed he was filming from Dubai airport — not Muscat in Oman, as he had told his wife and the Good Morning Britain hosts when explaining why he had missed their first joint television interview. Andrews, 43, was due to join Price, 47, on the ITV daytime programme on Tuesday for what was billed as their first TV appearance together since the couple married in January. Instead, Price appeared alone, telling hosts Susanna Reid and Ed Balls that…

Hannah Waddingham has revealed she is in her first relationship in eight years, telling Women’s Health UK that her new man is “very good looking” and “really lovely” — ending a period in which the Ted Lasso actress dedicated herself entirely to life as a single mother. The 51-year-old, who plays Rebecca in the award-winning Apple TV+ series, became a single mother after her decade-long relationship with Gianluca Cugnetto broke down when their daughter Kitty was two years old. Since then she has raised Kitty, now 11, alone — and has spoken candidly about the demands of being a sole…

Danny Dyer’s youngest daughter Sunnie has gone public with her new boyfriend, sharing a loved-up photograph on Instagram with record label founder Will Wood. The 19-year-old, who is the lesser-known sibling of Love Island star Dani Dyer, posted a sweet snap on Monday showing her cradling her boyfriend’s face while pulling a pout, accompanied simply by a heart emoji. Will, who is the founder of STRINGZ and Journey records, replied with “love ya” beneath the post. While Will appears to have struck up a following relationship with Dani on Instagram, their father Danny neither follows nor is followed by the…

Scientists in China have created a new type of plastic embedded with dormant bacteria that can be triggered to completely destroy itself in less than a week, leaving no trace of microplastics — a development that researchers believe could fundamentally change how the world manages plastic waste. The breakthrough, published in the journal ACS Applied Polymer Materials, was carried out by researchers at the Shenzhen Institute of Synthetic Biology and represents a significant advance on previous attempts to engineer biodegradable plastics. Rather than relying on a single enzyme — the approach taken in most earlier work — the team embedded…
