Doctor Who - The Tardis is set to land on CBeebies
The BBC is set to expand the Whoniverse as it launches plans for a brand new pre-school animation series which will see the Doctor's adventures come to CBeebies for the first time ever.
The BBC is looking for a passionate production company to create and produce the series, which will run independently from the main show, that will see the Doctor travelling through time and space for the pre-school audience, solving mysteries and problems alongside their companions and other friends.
And, of course, they may come up against one or two challenges on their way…

Speaking about the plans, Patricia Hidalgo, Director of Children's and Education said: 'Everyone is welcome at CBeebies, including the Doctor! This much-loved franchise entertains millions around the world, so it is only right that our younger audience get to experience the wonder and the magic of the Doctor in a brand new format. This is an extremely exciting opportunity, and we are looking forward to welcoming companies to pitch for this new project, as we continue our commitment and investment in the UK's animation industry.'

Love Island lines up three stunning female bombshells to cause chaos – and they're already in the villa
A TEMPTING trio of new bombshells have strutted into the Love Island villa. Viewers are holding their breath to see if Blu or Shea will step down and relinquish their spot in the villa after last night's savage recoupling twist. 5 5 5 The Sun has revealed that one boy has already left following that moment but kept their ID secret to hold the surprise for fans. But that lad will be gutted to have missed out on the triple whammy of beauties who landed last night. Yasmin Pettet, Malisha Jordan and Emily Morann slow-mo walked into the love nest to shake-up Villa action. Not much is known about Londoner Yasmmin, as she's wiped her social media, bar from a few glamorous snaps shared in recent weeks. Yasmin is seen hanging out in posh restaurants across the capital, mainly around Kensington and Notting Hill. She certainly has the credentials for life in the villa, with a bikini body that will make heads swivel. Pretty Malisha Jordan has just 15 photos on her Instagram - all of them stunning snaps from her travels abroad. She's spent time in Italy, Egypt, Dubai and and Marrakesh. Emily Moran, who lives in Sydney, Australia, has also jetted to Majorca and is set to scramble the boys' heads. A source said: "Emily's originally from Aberdare, the same town as Nicole Samuel from last year's show. "Her ex-boyfriend is tall dark and handsome so she'll have plenty of options when she does make it into the villa. "She's been unlucky in love since moving Down Under and is hoping to find Mr Right with a little help from Maya Jama and the British public." It comes after a devastating twist left Blu and Shea vulnerable. Last night the girls were given the power to decide who they wanted to recouple with. The girls then stood up to make their decision one by one and pick their guy - until only Shea and Blu remained. However, in a MAJOR twist Dejon then received a text which read: "Blue and Shea, you are now single. Between you both you should now decided who should stay and who should go." But both lads said they were determined to stay. Blu confidently said: "I ain't f****** leaving," as Shea echoed: "I ain't either." The episode then ended, and caused fans watching at home to come up with a theory about who will go home. Taking to X, one fan said: "Surely Shea should stay and let Blu go home." While another added: "Please can someone escort Blu off the premises." This one said: "Blu has been in the villa for 4days and did nothing pack your bags sir!" For all the latest on Love Island keep up to date with our live blog. 5 5

Love Island fans spot clue Islander is pretending to fancy her partner after awkward recoupling
LOVE Island fans say they have spotted a clue that one of the Islanders is pretending to fancy her partner, following last night's awkward recoupling. Ever since they first coupled up on Monday night, fans have been convinced that Meg is faking her feelings for hunky Dejon. 6 6 6 Dejon and Megan were coupled up during the launch show, and have remained together ever since. However, during last night's recoupling, fans were left unconvinced (once again) of the blonde beauty's true feelings for her man. Although Meg still chose to couple up with Dejon, fans thought her speech wasn't genuine. They also think her body language during last night's recoupling was "awkward" and a sure sign she's just not that into him. Taking to social media one fan said: "I want to believe in Meg and Dejon but I fear one man making a move on meg might send the relationship collapsing." While another added: "Meg doesn't like Dejon - simple." This one said: "Meg says the right things but her energy and body language is offff (sic)." "Meg is so fake omg she's just waiting for her bombshell," a fourth added. This isn't the first time that fans have been unconvinced of Meg's feelings for Dejon - in fact it's been happening a lot since they first coupled up. Their first kiss was also slammed by viewers for being "painfully awkward". Love Island fans spot tell tale signs villa beauty hated snog with show hunk On Wednesday, the pair went up to the terrace to discuss their relationship so far. Dejon started the chat, and said: 'I like the way that things are going.' She replied: 'Yeah, same. I feel the exact same.' But the tension was hard to ignore as she adde:, 'I feel like we talk… everyone else's f*****g business.' 6 Trying to take things to the next level, Dejon asked if she still wanted to share a bed with him, to which she said yes. Then came the kiss but before Dejon leaned in, Meg awkwardly asked: 'Oh, you're going to kiss me?' And once the kiss was over, she laughed and said, 'Is that enough?' Fans took to social media to discuss the painfully awkward moment, with one writing beneath some grabs of the scene: ''Oh ur gonna kiss me' & 'was that enough' – she DID NOT want that." Another added: 'That was so false hahaha she doesn't like him. Her face afterwards said it all.' A third agreed: 'SO TRUE she don't like him like that.' 6 MEG'S U-TURN Meanwhile, viewers previously slammed Meg after she made a huge U-turn in bid to stay in the villa. And it came just a day after she seemed "underwhelmed" when she chose Dejon during the Love Island launch. On Monday night, Meg picked Dejon, but when they met for the first time, fans were convinced there was no attraction on either side. In fact, she then went onto tell the rest of the girls later in the episode that she wasn't really "feeling him". 6 But as Tuesday's recoupling loomed, Meg seemed to change her tune. In fact when she saw US bombshell Toni chatting to Djon, she was heard saying to her fellow Islanders: 'I don't have my man, Dejon's gone - that's it!' This didn't go unnoticed by fans, who took to social media to vent about her "game plan" One said: "Meg doesn't like Dejon but she's got to secure her place in the Villa, baddd!" While another chimed in: "All Meg is worried about is going home, she don't care about Dejon." This one added: "Meg defo has a game plan! "She's being all sweet to Dejon to stay on the show."

Sabrina Carpenter is accused of 'reducing women to pets' by domestic violence charity as she poses on all fours with faceless man pulling her hair on new album cover
Sabrina Carpenter has been accused of 'reducing women to pets' by a leading domestic violence charity as the row over her new controversial new album cover deepens. The popstar, 26, announced the 12-song record titled 'Man's Best Friend' on Wednesday accompanied with a picture of a faceless man pulling her hair as she posed on all fours. While the announcement of new music was met with much fanfare, many have criticised the singer for over-sexualising herself and encouraging the return of 'tired stereotypical tropes' around women. Glasgow Women's Aid, who were established during the second wave of the women's liberation movement, were one of the leading organisations who delivered a scathing verdict on Ms Carpenter's new album cover yesterday. They said: 'Sabrina Carpenter's new album cover isn't edgy, it's regressive. 'Picturing herself on all fours, with a man pulling her hair and calling it 'Man's Best Friend' isn't subversion. 'It's a throwback to tired tropes that reduce women to pets, props, and possessions and promote an element of violence and control. We've fought too hard for this. 'We get Sabrina's brand is packaged up retro glam but we really don't need to go back to the tired stereotypes of women. 'Sabrina is pandering to the male gaze and promoting misogynistic stereotypes, which is ironic given the majority of her fans are young women! 'Come on Sabrina! You can do better!' The 26-year-old herself addressed these criticisms in an interview with American music magazine Rolling Stone this week, where she features on this month's front cover wearing almost no clothes. She said: 'It's always so funny to me when people complain. They're like, "All she does is sing about this". 'But those are the songs that you've made popular. Clearly you love sex. You're obsessed with it.' The album will feature her latest hit song 'Manchild' in a song widely believed to be aimed at her ex-boyfriend, Barry Keoghan. The single was also accompanied by a music video, during which Ms Carpenter is seen bathing with two piglets she labels as men. The criticisms also come just months after Brit Awards viewers were left outraged at her performance that saw her get down on her knees in front of a 'King's Guard'. Parents of young children watched on in disbelief as the scantily dressed Espresso singer, 25, opened the awards at The O2 in London last night with a steamy set. The criticisms also come just months after Brit Awards viewers were left outraged at her performance that saw her get down on her knees in front of a 'King's Guard' They vowed to immediately contact ITV and Ofcom after Carpenter - dressed in a skimpy red lingerie outfit - crouched down in front of a dancer dressed in a King's Guard uniform. The camera then panned to the 'guard' who looked towards the lens and winked. She had opened the awards ceremony wearing a red sparkly military-style blazer dress in homage to Britain. Surrounded by dancers dressed in King's Guards uniform, she strutted down a red carpet lit up with the Union Flag. Carpenter then changed into a red lingerie outfit to perform song 'Bed Chem' on a large bed where she spread her legs apart.
