EXCLUSIVE Astronomical sum insiders say Todd and Julie Chrisley are demanding for new TV show... and the SAVAGE response from Hollywood

Multiple sources allege that several TV production companies are considering building a new show around the Chrisley Knows Best couple, who served more than two years of their sentences for tax evasion and bank fraud before being pardoned by President Donald Trump on Wednesday.

Inside the new Epic Universe theme park with 11 new rides
Universal Studios Orlando, since opening in 1990, has grown into a major entertainment hub, drawing 10 million visitors annually across its Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, and Volcano Bay parks. In 2019, Universal announced plans for a fourth park, promising an unprecedented level of immersion and innovation. Six years later, that vision has materialised. Epic Universe, the first major theme park in Orlando in 25 years, represents a $7.5 billion investment (£5.5 billion) and a significant leap forward in theme park design. During the opening week, Mark Woodbury, Chairman and CEO of Universal Destinations and Experiences, described the park as "the most technologically advanced park in the world". This is everything you need to know about the new Epic Universe theme park and what tourists can expect. What are the rides like? With 11 new rides, one of which has been deemed the best dark ride in the world, I was eager to get started. With five worlds to explore – How to Train Your Dragon; Isle of Berk; Super Nintendo World; Dark Universe; and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter Ministry of Magic (all centred around the main hub of Celestial Park) – I was lucky I had three days. Each world is entered through its own portal, backed-up with its own music and theming, making visitors feel like they have truly been transported into a different dimension. None more so, than the colourful Super Nintendo World with its sea of rainbow, sounds of coins being collected and Venus flytraps chomping away to that well-known theme tune. Rides range from family coasters, such as Hiccups Wing Gliders – a firm favourite with our group, to the high-speed, dual racing thrill ride of Stardust Racers. Fyre Drill is a water soaker perfect for cooling down in the humid Floridian heat, while airborne Dragon Racers Rally allows you to barrel-roll your own dragon, should you desire. If you're a fan of Mario Kart, then Bowser's Challenge is definitely one to try. This fully immersive version of the game puts riders behind the wheel of their very own moving kart. Donning a special Mario cap along with high-tech virtual reality glasses, I took my place in the kart and head out on my own mission to collect as many coins as possible while encountering Mario favourites. For me, Dark Universe was the real showstopper. I was lucky enough to visit this area during the day and at night, and I have to say, if you get the chance to go after dark, you won't leave disappointed. It has to be the most atmospheric and creepy park, EVER! Monsters Unchained is one of those rides you can go on time and time again, each time a different experience. I rode this four times and still felt like I had missed some elements of it. Sat on a row of chairs attached to a robotic arm, I entered the abyss of Dr Victoria Frankenstein's experiment, being tilted backwards and forwards, up and down, as a revolt of enraged monsters came at me. Despite Dark Universe being my particular favourite world, I would challenge anyone to not be impressed by the Ministry of Magic in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. With anticipated queue times of up to five hours, its reputation certainly precedes it. The entrance is an exact replica of the one in the films. Bottle-green glossy tiles line the walls, along with posters with moving images. Even the entrance to the Ministry via the Metro-Floo makes riders disappear in a plume of green smoke. The ride itself is definitely worth the wait and is a lot longer than you would anticipate as you travel deep into the depths of the Ministry's many departments to the trial of Delores Umbridge, encountering uninvited guests along the way. The live shows you can't miss Aside from the rides, there are two notable live shows at Epic and you won't want to miss either. I'm not usually much of a fan of park shows, but both of these soon had me changing my mind. The Untrainable Dragon, within Isle of Berk, treats audiences to a spectacular, musical show, complete with dragons, amazing stage effects and a moving toothless dragon animatronic that soars above the audience. Even if you have never seen the films, you can't fail to be impressed, while Le Cirque Arcanus in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter takes part in a small circus tent and combines a magical performance of illusions, puppetry and immersive effects, that has audiences captivated right from the preshow. The best dining options Whilst Celestial Park is the hub of Epic, with many dining options, there are plenty to be found in each world, with the theming spilling over into the menus. With an abundance of restaurants, cafes, pubs and street carts, I am spoilt for choice, with everything from Parisian street cafes in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter to the deathly dishes at Das Stakehaus in Dark Universe. During my visit I sampled the delights of Mead Hall in Isle of Berk – a one stop shop for Viking cuisine. Serving everything from sandwiches to meat platters and what seemed to be popular choice – Mac and Cheese cones. For the more discerning diner, the Atlantic restaurant in Celestial Park provides a fine under-the-sea dining experience, with a seafood-based menu. But for me, the Toadstool Cafe in Super Nintendo World was a big hit, with its Mario and Luigi burgers and Bowser's Fireball Challenge. Where to stay Epic Universe brings three new hotels – The Helios Grand Hotel, Stella Nova and Terra Luna. If your budget allows, then staying at Helios is a no-brainer. This starry 500 room extravaganza has amazing views overlooking Epic and even has its own entrance to the park. For the more budget-minded, the Stella Nova and Terra Luna offer a more affordable option. I stayed at the Stella Nova resort, just a short shuttle ride away. For me, this was the perfect option. I had great views of the park and the onsite pool and bar area made for a relaxing afternoon in amongst what was a hectic few days. Staying onsite also gives guests early park admission. Overall verdict For me, Epic Universe is truly that. Everything from the theming to the rides, food to the park itself has raised the bar in the world of theme parks. No expense has been spared on taking each attraction to the next level. But with demand expected to be high, ticket sales only allow for one-day passes throughout 2025, so planning ahead is key. I've no doubt the celebrations will continue for many months to come, but for now, the memories will live on. So, until next time, Universal… you have been Epic! How to plan your trip British Airways Holidays offers seven nights at the 3.5-star Universal Stella Nova Resort from £829pp, including flights and room only accommodation.

Deal on US steel tariffs to be in force ‘in a very short time', says PM
Sir Keir Starmer suggested to the House of Commons on Wednesday that the deal struck last month could come into effect 'in just a couple of weeks'. Once implemented, the agreement would effectively eliminate tariffs on British steel and aluminium exports to the US. Those tariffs currently stand at 25% after Mr Trump said he would 'provide different treatment' for the UK while he increased the levy to 50% for the rest of the world. But the situation could still change again in July, when the US is set to either increase the tariffs to 50% or introduce the quotas in the US-UK agreement, effectively eradicating the tax, depending on whether the deal is implemented. Challenged over the uncertainty during Prime Minister's Questions by Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch, Sir Keir said: 'We are the only country in the world that isn't paying the 50% tax on steel and that will be coming down. 'We are working on it to bring it down to zero, that is going to happen.' Responding to further questions from Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey, Sir Keir told MPs: 'We have a deal and we are implementing it and within a very short time I am confident we will get those tariffs down in accordance with the deal.' Adding that he expected MPs would be 'very pleased at the outcome of that', he said: 'Let's come back in just a couple of weeks when we have implemented it.' Earlier on Wednesday, Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander told the BBC the Government would bring forward the legislation needed to implement the deal. Meanwhile, both the steel industry and trade unions have urged the Government to finalise the agreement with Washington. Gareth Stace, head of the industry body UK Steel, said Mr Trump's decision to keep tariffs on British steel at 25% was a 'welcome pause' but warned that continuing uncertainty was making US customers 'dubious over whether they should even risk making UK orders'. Alasdair McDiarmid, assistant general secretary of the Community union, also welcomed the 'reprieve' from the 50% rate, and added it was 'vital that the UK locks down the US trade deal to avoid punitive steel tariffs going forward.' But the Lib Dems urged Sir Keir to stand up to Mr Trump, saying the president had changed the terms of a deal he had already signed. Following Prime Minister's Questions, Sir Ed called on the Government to support his party's 'Buy British' campaign, saying: 'Donald Trump has taken our lunch money and is now coming back for more. 'Any deal he signs is already through the Oval Office shredder. 'It is time for the Government to admit that Trump's White House is not a reliable ally and get tough on ending this trade war by backing British businesses.' The Conservatives have said that Labour's 'botched negotiations have left businesses in limbo'. Shadow business and trade secretary Andrew Griffith said: 'Keir Starmer stood in front of the nation and insisted to the British public that his Labour Government had achieved a trade deal with the US – and now one month later our industries face a fresh tariffs blow. 'So once again it seems that Keir Starmer's promise was just like the rest: hollow and broken. Labour's botched negotiations have left businesses in limbo and this country simply cannot afford their continuing failure.'

Molly-Mae Hague posts cute beauty tutorial with Bambi – but fans are distracted by VERY naked detail in the background
MOLLY-MAE HAGUE has posted a cute beauty tutorial with Bambi - but fans have been left distracted by a very naked detail in the background of the video. The Love Island star shared a clip from her recent time in Dubai, and adorable Bambi could be seen waltzing in with a bag in the background. 5 5 Molly is doing her makeup in the video, shared to her Instagram Stories, and shares a tutorial on her evening look. The 26-year-old penned to fans: 'Missing holiday nights doing makeup with my girl.' But despite the cute scenes of Molly popping a bit of makeup on Bambi's face for the playful video, it was a topless appearance in the background that caught fan attention. Mid-way through the clip, Tommy Fury can be seen walking in the background topless, wearing his swim shorts. His appearance is only fleeting, and Molly glances over her shoulder as he walks in the room behind her, before appearing to dodge the camera. Commenting on the moment, one person penned: 'Did I spy a half naked man in the bathroom?' A second added: 'So happy to see you and Tommy together. I am routing for both of you. Bambi is growing up so fast. She's so cute.' And a third said: 'Ooo I just spotted Tommy in the background.' As Molly and Tommy's New Year's Eve kiss first suggested, as it went viral, the relationship is now well and truly back on. Molly Mae drops HUGE C4 show hint as she returns to reality TV for first time since Love Island Molly has secretly laid down the law with her boxer beau — insisting he FaceTime her every HOUR when they are not together so that she knows exactly where he is and who he's with. The strict rule has become quite the talking point among Tommy's circle of mates. But if he wants to stay with Molly, he may have no choice but to fall into line. A source said: 'It sounds extreme, but Molly feels much more reassured when Tommy checks in. It all helps with trust, honesty and transparency between the two of them. Timeline of Molly-Mae and Tommy Fury's split After five years together, Molly-Mae and Tommy Fury split up in August 2024. At around 4pm on Wednesday, August 14, Molly-Mae and Tommy suffer an explosive showdown and Molly-Mae announces her split from fiancé Tommy Fury, saying ' I never imagined our story would end, especially not this way'. An hour later Tommy shares a separate and brief statement confirming they have parted ways, and thanks Molly-Mae for making him 'a dad'. The real reason they split emerges and on Thursday, August 15 The Sun reveals how Molly-Mae learned Tommy had cheated on her - leading to an explosive showdown. On Saturday, August 17, The Sun reveals how Molly-Mae had been sent an upsetting video showing Tommy kissing a girl in a nightclub in North Macedonia on a lads holiday. Exactly one week after the split a Danish woman accused of getting close to Tommy speaks to The Sun. On Wednesday, August 21, she denies she is the girl who kissed Tommy. 'Tommy has been very dedicated so far — if he's on a train, he will FaceTime the moment he gets off. 'It's the same with any flights that he takes or hotels he's staying in. 'Tommy dutifully phones Molly the minute that he arrives anywhere. 'And then she likes him to also show her where he is. 'This has been going on for months now, and Tommy's friends are impressed that he has agreed to it whole-heartedly.' The reunited couple — who have a two-year-old daughter, Bambi, together — were pictured last month on a romantic getaway in Dubai. It was their sixth holiday, no less, this year. The source added: 'Tommy's camp have raised their eyebrows at Molly's rule. 'He can't do anything without having to report straight back to her. 'But Molly's team, on the other hand, feel that this is what he needs to do if he wants to keep his family together. 'The question is, does Molly really trust Tommy? Some highly doubt it.' 5 5
