Sky Sports brings back iconic show five years after axe with surprise choice of name and new presenter
And a surprise face will host the beloved show, which continued in podcast form after being removed from our screens.
1
It was revealed earlier this year that the broadcasting powerhouse would revamp the beloved weekly show, which disappeared from our screens in 2020 after an epic 20-year run.
But Sky chiefs, after much deliberation, have decided to bring it back from the dead.
And they've opted not to change the name too much, dropping the 'Sky Sports'.
It will now, according to the Daily Mail, just be called the 'Sunday Supplement'.
And it's set to be presented by the broadcaster's long-time transfer guru Dharmesh Sheth.
Sheth has well and truly earned the prestigious gig after 27 YEARS working with Sky.
And he's honoured to have been given the opportunity to host the much-loved show.
He told The Mail: "To be given the opportunity to present the show is all a bit surreal.

"And I can't wait to get started."
Sunday Supplement regularly saw industry insiders and journalists discuss the latest ongoings in the top-flight and beyond, as well as chat about the stories dominating the back pages.
The show, which began back in 1999 under it's previous name 'Hold The Back Page', was initially presented by the late Jimmy Hill.

Radio host forced to leave studio live on air after receiving tragic news
A popular radio host has been forced to leave her morning radio show on Wednesday after receiving 'tragic news'. Jade Robran, who hosts FIVEAA's Winter Breakfast show with Tom Rehn, was presenting her program before abruptly leaving the studio just before 7am. Tom then addressed her shock departure, informing listeners there had been a death in her family. 'Jade unfortunately has had to go home, there has been some unexpected and very tragic news, there's been a death in her family so we wish Jade all the very best,' he said. 'Hope you're okay, Jade, if you're driving home listening right now. Jade, we love you. We hope you're okay with the rest of the family. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'Hopefully she'll be back tomorrow. That's very, very sad news.' Tom continued presenting the show on his own until 9am. It comes after a Melbourne radio star surprised fans by announcing his shock departure. Jack Post, 37, who has made a name for himself on The Christian O'Connell Show on Gold FM, quit the program on in May in an emotional Instagram post. Jack shared a slew of snaps from his time on the show, including one of him playing a guitar in the studio with Christian O'Connell and another with his wife Bianca and son Gordon. Telling fans that it was one of the 'hardest decisions' he had ever had to make, the radio host revealed the reason why he was calling his time on the popular breakfast program. 'I love this show deeply, and it has given me so much. But there is something in my gut telling me it's time to close this chapter and write the next one,' he wrote in the caption. 'When I left radio with Hamish & Andy in 2017, I honestly didn't know what was next for me then — but I had an excitement and giddiness for the thrill of what it could be. He added: 'I'm so happy it turned out to be The Christian O'Connell Show. 'It's time to step away again, make space, and see what's next,' he shared. Jack said that he was grateful for the listeners who tuned in for the morning show over the years. 'Thank you to each and every listener who chooses this as their breakfast show. 'I love talking to you in the mornings, I love meeting you on the street — don't stop saying hello,' he wrote. The radio star then went on to thank his colleagues at the station, particularly Christian, who he said had been on of the 'most profound relationships of my life'.

Ciao bella — how to dress for a Roman holiday
I know it's the French that we Brits are supposed to get excited about, style-wise, and indeed I did summon up some enthusiasm on these very pages last week. But for me it's all about the Italians. It's always about the Italians. The so-called tomato girl summer that took over social media a couple of years ago — a telling conflation of food and fashion — is still alive and kicking. Although, what with the temperatures and my limited skill set when it comes to dealing with them, mine is thus far proving more of a passata girl summer. Food. Fashion. It's encapsulated by one Miuccia Prada, who, unlike her austerely clad French counterparts, will present herself at the end of a catwalk show in head-to-toe red satin, and who — just in case that isn't enough for you — also owns a cake shop. I am in Rome as I write, for Dolce & Gabbana's Alta Moda show, which I review here. The city is as ridiculously ravishing as ever, but then so are the Romans. Sure, it can be tricky to see them, obscured as they tend to be in the summer months by several dozen burnt and be-bumbagged foreigners. But when you do … • Read more fashion advice and style inspiration from our experts What they channel in their wardrobes might be called joie de vivre if it weren't for the fact that this is the wrong language, so I will refer to it instead as sprezzatura. The Italians love colour and pattern, embracing it in such a way as to look classy rather than as if they are angling for an Instagram showing. JJ Martin, a Milan-based American who runs a kaleidoscopic label called La DoubleJ, goes as far as to call them 'geniuses. They just inherently understand tasteful arrangements of pattern and colour. It's as if they have a special DNA strand that embeds style in the bloodstream.' Here's what makes up the Italian summer uniform. This is a different species to the floral numbers that we tend to turn to. Forget Mapp and Lucia. Think Monica and Sophia. (Bellucci and Loren, on the off-chance that this needs further clarification.) It's not about the village fête. It's about drinks on a terrace somewhere on the Amalfi coast. Eschew ditzy prints. What you want is a ritzy print, one that's bold and very possibly geometric. You might also factor in the idea of an unwaisted style, the better to come over suitably operatic. And also, handily, to enjoy that second helping of pasta. La DoubleJ's signature swing maxi — in a hefty silk twill, with T-shirt sleeves — is the best around in terms of ever-after quality and print options (£770, At a less hair-raising price point there's Boden's Maya maxi (£120, and New Look's fruit-print wide-strap midi (£37.99, No, not to sleep in. The Italians don't wear PJs in bed. (See Bellucci, Monica, above.) They wear them to add a boudoir-adjacent frisson to the state of being fully conscious. Dolce & Gabbana has turned the day-pyjama genre into an art form, although suffice to say that if you have to ask the price you can't afford them. My more real-world favourites are a jazzy print linen pair from Karen Millen, with the option to go for shorts as well as trousers (£111.20 for the shirt, £119.20 for the trousers, £103.20 for the shorts, Bellissima. • The new must-have summer trousers (you probably already own a pair) It's got to the point in Rome this week where I am almost wondering whether there is some kind of municipal diktat prohibiting any sunglasses that couldn't also serve as welding goggles. & Other Stories' cool-girl tortoiseshell aviators would fit right in here (£32, AllSaints' giant squared-off cat's eyes, in black or a paler take on tortoiseshell that it calls (ahem) snow leopard, are more straightforwardly chic (£125, It might be a top, it might be a dress, but it's any self-respecting Italiana's favourite way to sizzle come summer. House of CB's Adabella, in a shade it calls Italian tomato, is a particular cracker (£179, The bandeau style from Nobody's Child — I like the giant polka dot — would also do the job (£99, To quote Loren in Houseboat, 'Bing! Bang! Bong!' The originals are so minimally be-strapped and soled as barely to class as footwear, and would ideally be purchased from the famous Canfora on Capri itself (from £159, However, there are some great iterations on the high street. Free People's are almost as pared-back, in a range of colours (£88, while Nobody's Child has a brown version with a more pavement-ready sole (£115, Italians got on to these for their youth-bestowing magic long before we did. Me+Em's white turn-ups would do nicely (£136.50, reduced from £195, as would Sézane's black and cream check (£125, and — if you are up for more volume — Albaray's leopard culottes (£79, Wait and See Milano — a veritable jewel box of a boutique — has some red and white floral beauts too (€283, reduced from €403, One of the ways in which Italian women signal the arrival of summer — not that here, in my experience, it normally needs much signalling — is by putting away their usual leather handbag, which will be an expensive investment piece, for a more fun wicker or raffia style. I always look for a lined interior, so that it works in the city as well as by the sea. For a neat tote, try Bloom & Bay's Kiara (£44.95, but for one that really thinks like a handbag, complete with leather flap and crossbody strap, try Wicker Wings (£250, I am going to finish on what is perhaps my favourite aspect of Italian style: how they dress up even the simplest ensemble with a knockout piece (or two) of costume jewellery. My favourite hunting grounds at home include the vintage offerings at Felt, Eclectica and Susan Caplan. Mango also knows how to make a dolce vita-appropriate statement, to wit its chunky resin bead necklace in shades of amber and brown (£45.99,

Is James Cleverly plotting a Boris-style path to power?
James Cleverly is understood to be considering running for the London mayoralty James Cleverly is being very coy. The former foreign secretary would not be drawn on his career plans after giving a speech at the IPPR think tank yesterday, but Kemi Badenoch should not worry that yet another person is working on a leadership challenge. Cleverly is flirting with a tilt at the London mayoralty, and TMS understands he is 'actively supporting' polling work that is looking at how the Tories can win borough after borough. This career path was last travelled by Boris Johnson (so it's more of a cycle lane) and it can lead to great things. You just need to know when to stop having your cake and eating it. Ed Miliband declared that his shadow Claire Coutinho had gone into 'hiding' when she missed his climate statement on Monday. However, she was back at yesterday's environment questions and, after parliamentary undersecretary Kerry McCarthy made another point about the no show, they were all left a little red-faced when Coutinho revealed she had been caring for her six month-old baby. Miliband could not continue the session until he'd reaffirmed his feminist credentials by talking about the importance of understanding 'the needs of new parents'. Many people think that prime minister's questions is an awful spectacle, but at least David Cameron stopped it from becoming a rap battle. The former education secretary Michael Gove told The Political Party at the Duchess Theatre that he tried to persuade Cameron to perform raps at the dispatch box. 'I was perhaps unduly and overly influenced by the rap battles in Hamilton,' Gove said. This proved a hard sell to an Old Etonian PM, and Gove's dream was never realised. However, he's still working in music and delighted the crowd with a version of Rasputin with lyrics rewritten for the historian of Russia, Simon Sebag Montefiore. It may be niche, but Boney M now faces a challenge from Govey M. Gove also had advice for those looking for potential defectors as his former Tory colleagues try to stop turncoats from joining Reform. When he was chief whip, he was assured by the MP Mark Reckless that he was not about to defect to Ukip. However, Gove's suspicions were piqued when they went for lunch and Reckless offered to pay for his half. 'I knew he was going to defect,' Gove said. 'He wasn't so dishonourable to have me pay for his steak and chips.' The journalist David Hepworth has made a career out of interviewing rock stars, but some were difficult to get a tune out of. He told The Oldie's literary lunch that interviewing Bob Dylan was a 'herculean' task, recalling a chat with the American on a taciturn day. In Hepworth's words, 'the loudest sound in the room that day was beads of sweat dropping from my forehead'. Eventually, the PR from the record company thought a break might loosen Dylan up. 'How do you think it's going?' she asked. 'I don't know,' Dylan replied. 'He keeps asking me questions.'
