Royal watchers were on the edge of their seats earlier this month, after Prince Harry made the first tentative steps in reconciling with his father. For the first time in 19 months, the Duke of Sussex met with King Charles, 76, during a visit to London, with the pair sitting down for a 55-minute private tea at Clarence House on 10 September. But while many were delighted by Harry's attempt to build bridges with his family, we're told his wife Meghan Markle has her concerns – fearing his return to the royal fold could be part of an attempt to split them up. ‘Harry's still buzzing off the back of his meeting with his father and Meghan is pleased for him – to an extent,’ an insider tells heat. ‘But,…

Victoria Beckham is preparing for the release of her brand-new Netflix docuseries next month. But as the launch date draws closer, what should be an exciting time for the designer has been tainted by the ongoing bitter family feud with son Brooklyn, with insiders telling heat VB fears it could ‘overshadow’ the launch. ‘Vic's been having sleepless nights. What started out as an exciting prospect has been tarnished by the Brooklyn situation,’ says a source. ‘Vic's loved making the series and is so proud of the end result, but she can't help feeling sad, because Brooklyn can't share in any of it.’ The trailer for the three-part series – which streams from 9 October – dropped last week, with no sign of Brooklyn in any of the footage. VB's three…

They've had their fair share of weddings (and divorces). But now the Kardashian family are preparing for their biggest celebration yet, as a source tells heat matriarch Kris Jenner is planning to tie the knot with her partner of 11 years, Corey Gamble, in November. Unsurprisingly, we're told the momager will be going ‘all-out’ for her big day, with no expense spared. ‘Kris has said this is going to be the wedding to end all weddings – and she's got Mindy Weiss, her long-time friend and Holly wood's go-to event planner, overseeing every detail,’ says an insider. ‘Kris wants something intimate, with around 40 close friends and family, but at the same time, she's not holding back. The budget's currently at seven figures, and it's continuing to rise.’ The source…

THE COOPERS’ SPOOKY STAYCAYS Things are about to get scary – and probably pretty hilarious – as the sibling comedy duo Daisy May and Charlie Cooper are diving into the supernatural with a brand-new paranormal TV show. The brains and faces behind the much-loved series This Country are set to front NightWatch, where the pair will sleep over in some of the spookiest homes in the country. OWEN MAKES HISTORY Adolescence star Owen Cooper was left stunned when he met his acting hero Jake Gyllenhaal. Jake, 44, hung out with Owen, 15, ahead of the Emmys, before the teen picked up the Outstanding Supporting Actor award, making him the youngest male winner ever. FINDING PEACE In the wake of Ozzy Osbourne's death, daughter Kelly took to Instagram to share that…

This BBC acquisition of Anthony Horowitz's six-part plane crash mystery thriller is a cross between A BC's hit show Lost and Agatha Christie's whodunnit And Then There Were None. Only, unlike the latter, one person appears to have survived. MAYDAY! MAYDAY! The action begins in a remote part of Mexico where officials have transported nine bodies from a plane crash to store in a morgue (hence the title) – but the retrieval of 10 passports makes them realise one survivor remains at large. A vivid flashback depicts Flight GBZ 517 losing GPS and fuel, before crash landing in a dense forest with the terrified passengers scrambling to escape the wreckage. As the severity of the situation dawns on them (they have no idea if anyone is coming to save them),…

BBC2, SUNDAY 28 SEPTEMBER, 8.20PM After Searching For Mexico in 2023, Eva Longoria's doing another food-travel series, this time in Spain. Across eight episodes, the actress explores the rich tapestry of culture and cuisine in the 17 regions of Spain, while learning more about the homeland of her ancestors. Ep one focuses on Barcelona and the Catalonia region, where she learns about the Catalan style of ‘seny’ (common sense) and ‘rauxa’ (impulsivity, creativity). She samples Catalan favourite vermouth, visits the capital of Cava (her preferred bubbly), and relishes the chance to meet legendary Ferran Adira, one of the most influential chefs in the world.…

Why make more Partridge? I like doing it – that's the simple answer. As long as we [Coogan and his writers Neil and Rob Gibbons] keep the standard. We are competing with ourselves, how we can do this differently. Also, now he has been invented, we might as well run with it from time-to-time. Alan's quite a good conduit to talk about popular culture and things that are difficult, or taboo, or would be difficult to talk about as me. Alan's in a new relationship this series. Can you explain your thinking behind that? Alan is very manipulative and bullies his assistant Lynn, although Lynn does actually get the best of Alan sometimes. We wanted Alan on the back foot in a way he has not been with Lynn –…

U&DAVE, MONDAY 29 SEPTEMBER, 10PM The deeply likeable duo of real-life friends Will Mellor and Ralf Little return for a new, second series of their travelogue/challenge show. They start in Northamptonshire, where they meet Nick, the owner of more than 300 army tanks. So, of course, the lads face the task of driving a tank blindfolded, with only each other's instructions to rely on, and which, furthermore, have to be delivered entirely in animal noises. Then, in Exeter, they meet award-winning coach Jack Davey for a training session with wheelchair basketball team The Exeter Otters.…

SLOW HORSES (Apple TV+, Wednesday) The new fifth series of the genius espionage comedy-drama focuses on the hilarious character of tech dweeb Roddy (Christopher Chung), who's got a suspicious new GF. THE GRAHAM NORTON SHOW (BBC1, Friday, 10.40pm) Graham's guest list is even starrier than usual this series with actual Taylor Swift joining him next Friday 3 October. Put it in your diary! HOUSE OF GUINNESS (Netflix, Thursday) This epic historical drama from Steven Knight (Peaky Blinders) portrays the makers of Guinness in the 19th Century as a maverick bunch.…

CERT 15, 162 minutes, in cinemas 26 September STARRING: Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, Teyana Taylor, Chase Infiniti DIRECTOR: Paul Thomas Anderson THE PLOT: Bob Ferguson (DiCaprio) and Perfidia Beverly Hills (Taylor) are a couple of radical American activist lovers whose lives change forever when Perfidia encounters bonkers Colonel Lockjaw (Penn), who becomes obsessed with her. Perfidia gives birth to a baby daughter called Willa, but abandons the kid and Bob to continue being a violent revolutionary. Sixteen years later, Perfidia has disappeared and Lockjaw sets about tracking her down, along with teenage Willa (Infiniti) and her dad, who's now a total stoner living off-grid. WHAT'S RIGHT WITH IT? Any new film from maverick writer/director Paul Thomas Anderson (There Will Be Blood, Magnolia etc) is an event, but this is arguably…

M3GAN 2.0 DVD/BLU RAY, OUT 29 SEPTEMBER The first M3GAN film became a bit of a pop cultural phenomenon in 2022 with its theme of artificial intelligence gone (very) wrong, manifest in the creation of a creepily lifelike girl robot doll. In this sequel, the tech behind M3GAN is stolen by a defence contractor to create a military-use robot called Amelia, but it's oddly more of an action thriller than a scary horror movie. HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON DVD/BLU RAY, OUT 29 SEPTEMBER A visually splendid remake of the 2010 animated hit that spawned two sequels. Mason Thames stars as Viking teen Hiccup, the inventive misfit son of alpha-male chief Stoick (Gerard Butler, again). Hiccup's destiny as a dragon fighter is thrown for a loop when he befriends injured…

PAUL C BRUNSON Clear your diaries – Married At First Sight UK is back, and relationship expert Paul C Brunson hints it's going to be the best series yet. It's been a successful year for the US-born star, who also fronts Celebs Go Dating, as well as his chart-topping podcast, We Need To Talk. And it's not just reality stars and celebs who are turning to Paul, 51, for advice. He tells heat that his sons Kingston, 14 and Liam, 11 – who he shares with his wife of more than two decades, Jill – are reaping the benefits of having a love guru for a dad… What can we expect from the new series of MAFSUK? It's definitely my favourite one so far. In my opinion, this year will…

It's clear life is already a whirlwind of photo shoots, interviews, and – of course – dance training for former England rugby star Chris Robshaw, who manages to squeeze in a phone call to us while in the car. The 39 year old is ready, if a little nervous, to strap on his dancing shoes as he embarks on the intense journey of taking part in the 23rd series of Strictly Come Dancing. ‘They've given me these Cuban heels to dance in,’ Chris tells us, laughing nervously, seemingly only just coming to the realisation that he is about to be covered head-to-toe in glitter and wearing tight trousers in front of millions every weekend! Supporting him on his journey will be his wife Camilla, and sons Wilding, four, and Hunter,…

This Belfast-set cop thriller might just be the best returning drama series on TV since it first arrived in 2023. Created and written by former investigative journalists Declan Lawn and Adam Patterson, who both grew up in Belfast, its propulsive, intense story telling and unerringly authentic depiction of the day-today lives of a bunch of rookie police officers made it a true word-ofmouth hit. Earlier this year, season two won the BAFTA for Best Drama Series, and now it's back for a third run. GRACE UNDER PRESSURE Although the show has a great ensemble cast, the main focus is on the character of Grace Ellis, played by Siân Brooke (Eurus in Sherlock), who pivoted from her job as a social worker to become a police officer. Over time, Grace got…

NETFLIX, FRIDAY 3 OCTOBER The extraordinarily prolific Ryan Murphy has created another entry in his and co-creator Ian Brennan's controversial Monster anthology, which dramatises the true stories of notorious killers. So far, we've had Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, Monsters: The Lyle And Erik Menendez Story, and now here's The Ed Gein Story. Known as ‘the godfather of all serial killers’, Gein is played by Charlie Hunnam (Sons Of Anarchy), and the drama depicts how Gein lived in rural Wisconsin in the ‘50s, where he killed and desecrated the bodies of multiple women. His crimes inspired such films as The Silence Of The Lambs and Psycho, and the impressive cast includes Tom Hollander (The White Lotus) as Alfred Hitchcock, Laurie Metcalf (Roseanne) as Gein's mother, Vicky Krieps (Phantom Thread) as a…

CHANNEL 4, TUESDAY 30 SEPTEMBER, 9.15PM This two-part series dedicated to the global phenomenon that is Taylor Swift is a genius piece of scheduling, as it not only capitalises on the excitement around the star's engagement to NFL player Travis Kelce, but also ties in nicely with the imminent release of eagerly-awaited album The Life Of A Showgirl. Directed by Guy King, it takes a detailed look at the singer-songwriter's epic 20-year career, which has seen her transform from a young aspiring country singer in Nashville, Tennessee, to a global cultural icon. With contributions from ‘high-profile commentators’, industry insiders and fans, the documentary charts her journey to becoming the hugely successful artist and businesswoman she is today, and has rare archive footage to ‘reveal fresh insights into Taylor and her…

DISNEY+, TUESDAY 30 SEPTEMBER After his appearances in Top Gun Maverick and Twisters, and his upcoming lead role in The Running Man movie, Glen Powell is super-hot right now. So, it's good timing for Disney+ that this new series, which he co-created (with Michael Waldron, who made the Marvel series Loki), is arriving now. Powell plays famous NFL quarterback Russ Holliday who makes an extraordinary mistake at the climax of a big American Football game, which instantly makes him toxic and ruins his career. Eight years later, in a desperate move to save himself from total ruin, he tries to resurrect his career by disguising himself as talented college player ‘Chad Powers’ to play for a team called the South Georgia Catfish. Also starring Steve Zahn (season one of The…

ITV1, FRIDAY 3 OCTOBER, 9PM This acclaimed crime drama series was previously on streaming service MGM+, and now it's coming to ITVX for free for UK viewers. The concept is a bit like classic series The Bridge, this time set on the border between Northern and mainland Ireland, and it stars Eoin Macken as Detective Inspector Philip Boyd of Northern Ireland and Amy De Bhrún as his Republic of Ireland counterpart, Detective Inspector Aoife Regan. They're a classic mismatched duo who eventually become an accomplished crimefighting partnership. Created and written by John Forte (Cold Feet), it's addictive stuff.…

CERT 15, 98 minutes, in cinemas 26 September STARRING: Madelaine Petsch, Gabriel Basso, Richard Brake DIRECTOR: Renny Harlin THE PLOT: Having survived Chapter 1’s terrifying home invasion, Maya (Riverdale's Petsch) thinks her ordeal is over. But the three masked killers who murdered her fiancé have other ideas. WHAT'S RIGHT WITH IT? With the action expanded to take in a morgue, a farm and the surrounding woods, this follow-up to last year's virtual remake of the original 2008 Strangers commendably tweaks the formula. WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT? A set-piece involving an unlikely four-legged menace is more silly than scary, while attempts to flesh out the murderers’ pasts detract from their mystery. VERDICT: A serviceable slice of stalk and slash from the malevolent trio we've come to know as Scarecrow, Dollface and Pin-Up…

FILM I SWEAR Kirk Jones (Nanny McPhee) writes and directs this biopic telling the moving story of John Davidson, a Tourette's syndrome advocate, detailing how the condition affected him in 1980s Britain when there was widespread ignorance about it. Robert Aramayo (Behind Her Eyes) plays John, who ended up getting an MBE, and the films also stars Maxine Peake and Shirley Henderson. In cinemas, 10 October. FILM AFTER THE HUNT The new film from Call Me By Your Name director Luca Guadagnino is a psychological thriller starring Julia Roberts, no less. She plays a college professor caught in the middle of a sexual abuse scandal involving one of her students, played by Ayo Edebiri from The Bear, and a colleague, played by Andrew Garfield (We Live In Time). In cinemas,…

She'd previously admitted she wasn't looking to tie the knot again, but Davina McCall is over the moon after her boy friend of seven years, Michael Douglas, popped the question this summer. The thrilled TV host, 57, revealed the engagement happened on a stunning cliff top in Ibiza, adding that she nearly ruined the surprise by being ‘miserable’ as she wasn't dressed for ‘clambering up a cliff’. ‘I'm in godforsaken cowboy boots – pink cowboy boots with steel toe caps – and I'm not in a cliff-climbing outfit. But I could see he really wanted me to like it and it would make him happy,’ she said. ‘What was quite funny is he'd spent the year before getting down on one knee. So, I'd go, “Oh my gosh, he's proposing,”…

MAKING A STATEMENT After a year-long relationship, singer/ songwriter Halsey and rapper and producer G-Eazy – once dubbed ‘2018's Bonnie and Clyde’ – called it quits amid rumours he'd cheated. Opening up about the inspiration behind her song Without Me, Halsey, 30, explained it was ‘a reflection of a combination of relationships I've been in’, adding, ‘It's a reminder that you deserve more’. The song went 10 x Platinum, and earned her a cool £2.6million in royalties from Spotify. THROWING SHADE The Weeknd and Selena Gomez broke up in 2017, after a PDA-filled 10-month relationship. Describing himself as ‘just another pit stop’ in his UK Top 10 single Call Out My Name, The Weeknd, 35, raked in an impressive £2.4m. He even references Selena's life-saving kidney transplant in the song,…

heat WINNER! Naesip Munro WISEBARTENDER.CO.UK, £26.95 Gooseberry, herbs and a whisper of juniper give this Scottish spirit a refreshing quality.

ASDA Extra Special Rhubarb & Ginger ASDA, £9.98 A supermarket steal that tastes far more luxurious than its price tag suggests.

BBC1, SATURDAY 27 SEPTEMBER, 6.55PM We've had the bells and whistles launch, where we saw the celebrity twinkle toes matched with their professional partners and watched them perform their first group dance – giving us a rough idea of who's got a vague sense of rhythm and who's clinging on for dear life. Now, it's time for the series to begin in earnest with the couples showcasing their weeks of training in their first individual dance with the judges – Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, Shirley Ballas and Anton Du Beke – giving feedback and their scores, though these will be carried over to next week because mercifully no one is going home tonight.…

It's been four long years since Alan Partridge – arguably the funniest comedy character in TV history – graced our screens with the second series of his One Show-style spoof magazine show This Time. Since then, Alan aficionados will have enjoyed his hilarious book Big Beacon (especially the audio version), and his extraordinary podcast From The Oasthouse, which is as close to pure, unadulterated Alan as you can get. Well, until now, because this six-part series – in which Alan probes the complex subject of mental health in a personal documentary format made by his Pear Tree Productions – is a wonderfully concentrated injection of undiluted Alan. UP TO SPEED As well as embarking on his own in-depth analysis of the various issues relating to mental health, the series also…

SKY ARTS/NOW, WEDNESDAY 1 OCTOBER, 8PM Certain shows signpost autumn. One is the return of Strictly and the other is wholesome watch PAOTY, which makes us want to crack open the paints, even though we can barely draw a stick person. Stephen Mangan welcomes a new batch of artists to capture the likeness of more celeb sitters – this year including James May, Clara Amfo, Jack Dee and Mary Berry – in the hope of winning a £10,000 commission. In episode one, the artists turn their attention to The One Show's Alex Jones, singer-songwriter Yungblud, and star of We Might Regret This, Kyla Harris.…

Lucy Letby: Murder Or Mistake? CHANNEL 4, MONDAY 29 SEPTEMBER, 9PM After programmes on the Lucy Letby case on both ITV and BBC recently, here's C4's new two-part documentary on the thorny issue of the young woman who is currently serving 15 whole life sentences in prison after being found guilty of murdering seven babies and attempting to kill seven more. The series takes us inside key meetings and press conferences, and, for the first time, members of one affected family discuss their experience with Letby and their newborn. Sharon & Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home BBC1, THURSDAY 2 OCTOBER, 9PM This one-off docu was due to air before Ozzy Osbourne died, but has rightly been postponed until now. Filmed over the last three years, it focuses on Ozzy and Sharon's dream of…

EASTENDERS CRASH THE WEDDING! Determined to prove his commitment, Peter springs a surprise wedding on Lauren and she agrees to marry him – how could she not with all their friends and family looking on? But as the ceremony gets underway, there's a spectre at the feast in the shape of one Max Branning! Soon, he's reunited with not one, but two Slater women he's loved and lost – and then there's Cindy, who has never met the man who killed her firstborn son. This is going to be a day Albert Square will never forget. CORRIE LIAR, LIAR! She was perfect as Queen of the Rovers, so it's painful to see Jenny reduced to nothing more than a pitiful pursuit of comedy undertaker George. It seems she may win…

BAD BOYS Another participant on Olivia Attwood's Bad Boyfriends (ITV2/ ITVX) gasping in actual shock at footage of your naughty night-out antics should be something of a wake-up call. But while that doesn't seem to be bothering Ellie's boyfriend Dan – aka the baddest of all the bad boyfriends – so far, we're keeping our fingers crossed. PLATONIC PAIRINGS There are far too many celeb-fronted travel shows around at the moment, but Rob And Rylan's Passage To India (BBC2/iPlayer) cuts through. Their friendship and genuine (sadly just platonic) love for each other makes for an emotional and heartwarming viewing, and we just can't get enough of them as a pair. WIDE AWAKE It's something of a trend to have a dramatic opening dream sequence in the first episode of an…

CERT 15, 99 minutes, in cinemas 3 October STARRING: Frank Dillane, Megan Northam, Harris Dickinson DIRECTOR: Harris Dickinson THE PLOT: Homeless drug abuser Mike (Dillane) lands himself in prison for a violent crime, emerging sober and determined to make a fresh start. Can he escape past patterns of behaviour? WHAT'S RIGHT WITH IT? Anchored in Frank Dillane's textured performance, Urchin offers a tender portrait of a fragile addict trying to do better. WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT? Surreal flourishes set the film apart stylistically, but the addiction-cycle subject matter remains familiar. VERDICT: Fast-rising star Harris Dickinson held his own opposite Nicole Kidman in Babygirl, and is upcoming as John Lennon in Sam Mendes’ quartet of Beatles movies. Still in his 20s, he delivers the goods with an assured feature directing debut.…
