If you witnessed the birth of neo-soul in the early 2000s, you didn’t so much hear Jill Scott’s music as feel it. It felt familiar; it felt lived in, raw. And at the centre of this seismic R&B shift was one man who would prove to be the ultimate muse for a generation: Jill Scott’s […]
People around the world know Remi Burgz as a radio and TV star. She is one of the most influential women in the UK music scene. In British entertainment, Remi is a familiar name. She calls herself “The Local Energy Provider” because she makes every area she enters so much fun. Remi grew up in […]
Reviewing Dancing on Ice 2025 now feels like a lifetime ago, as we are well into 2026—Michaela Strachan was an absolute revelation. She was at the top of the leaderboard, looking as if she had discovered the fountain of youth and basically showing the kids how to do it. But all through that run, there […]
Imagine you’re a twenty-something and head over heels. It’s 1971 in Belfast. But instead of picking out flower arrangements or arguing over a guest list, you’re planning a wedding in total secrecy while the British Army patrols the street corners. There’s no big white dress. No tiered cake. No long-winded speeches. Instead, you have a […]
The first time Andy wrote his name on the bottom of Woody’s boot, it felt like a pinky promise to every kid in the 90s. We grew up. We went to uni. We cried in 2010 when Andy drove away. Then we cried again in 2019 when Woody handed his badge to Jessie. Most of […]
Just when you thought you’d pinned her down as the perennially stressed-out teenager with the world’s most expressive eyebrows, Saoirse-Monica Jackson went and rewrote the script. It’s mid-February 2026, and the Derry native isn’t just a “Derry Girl” anymore; she’s a bonafide force in the industry, transitioning from the halls of Our Lady Immaculate to […]
Manhattan in February rarely does anyone any favours. The sky remains dull, the cold seeps through your overcoat and the wind off the East River can feel positively hostile. But this past Saturday — Valentine’s Day, no less — the mood around Gramercy Park changed momentarily. Passers-by outside St George’s Episcopal Church stopped and stared twice. Not a […]
Most people think buying a private island is just a massive ego trip. An opportunity to play King of the Castle while the drudges below work through traffic and taxes. But if you look at what’s really going on in early 2026, the game is different. It’s no longer all about having a nice beach. It’s about data, […]
If you walk through the glass-panelled corridors of the City of London, you’ll hear names that command attention through sheer volume. But there’s a different kind of power in the British financial sector—the kind that doesn’t need to shout because its track record does the talking. Mark Gwynne is the personification of this “stealth wealth.” […]
In all my years watching the revolving door of British celebrity transformations, I’ve seen it all. Usually, it’s a flash-in-the-pan fad or someone trying to sell you a “miracle” DVD that ends up gathering dust behind the telly by Easter. But what’s happening with Coleen Nolan weight loss right now? Honestly, it feels different. It […]
Look, I’ve spent the better part of a decade covering the British film industry, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned about the A-list, it’s that privacy is the most expensive thing you can buy. Most celebrities say they want it, but then they’re spotted at every Soho House opening from London to Mykonos. But […]
The paddock at the Barcelona shakedown was still buzzing about the lap times from last week when the real bomb dropped. Forget the engine specs. Forget the Ferrari switch for a second. The only thing anyone’s talking about right now is a certain silver SUV and a weekend in the English countryside that felt more […]
