Florence Pugh and Yungblud leave onlookers baffled as they pour pints at pub
Hollywood actress Florence Pugh spent her Friday night pouring pints of Guinness in a very popular London pub alongside Yungblud
Marvel star Florence Pugh delighted London pub-goers with an unexpected shift behind the bar at The Devonshire in Piccadilly on Friday. The 29-year-old actress was spotted pouring pints and mingling with customers as part of a surprise appearance tied to the release of Yungblud's new music video for his single Zombie.
Dressed down and playful, Pugh received cheers after nailing the pour on a pint of Guinness, proudly asking: 'Whose is this?' Her next attempt didn't go quite as smoothly however after serving up a frothy glass, she laughed and admitted: 'I'm sorry.'
In another clip, she jokes her first effort was 'a bit lumpy' while being coached by bar staff.
Her appearance comes on the same day Zombie dropped - a raw, emotional track from Yungblud's upcoming album Idols, out June 20. Pugh stars in the video as a grief-stricken, emotionally exhausted health worker, donning angel wings in a symbolic portrayal of inner collapse.
'The song was written initially about my grandmother going through serious injury and trauma, leading her to become a different person to who she was before,' Yungblud, real name Dominic Harrison, explained. 'It's about the feeling of deterioration and ugliness… shutting out the world and the people we love out of fear of becoming a burden or an embarrassment. It's f****** scary.'
Pugh, known for her powerful roles in Little Women, Don't Worry Darling, Dune: Part Two, and most recently Marvel's Thunderbolts, brings her signature emotional depth to the role. She previously appeared in Rachel Chinouriri's Never Need Me video, showing an ongoing interest in music collaborations.
Yungblud, 27, is no stranger to public antics. Earlier this year, he pulled a similar stunt by serving drinks at the Hawley Arms in Camden.
With two UK No. 1 albums (Weird! and his self-titled record) and a recent 'Disruptor of the Year' award from the Northern Music Awards under his belt, the artist continues to blend music with rebellion and raw emotion.
It comes after the singer told The Mirror that he's coming out fighting with his new music. He's confronted his demons, taken up boxing and is battling against toxic masculinity. And what he delivers with album Idols really packs a punch.
'I really had to face myself… figure it out and face it,' he tells. And Yungblud reckons he has really grown in the process. 'I would use food and alcohol to distract myself and push things down,' he says.
'The album is a mirror to that. I have singing lessons. I don't drink as much and I've been getting better at sleeping. I've been getting better at being able to navigate this whole thing better – that's been epic.'
Having previously opened up about his battle with body dysmorphia, the Doncaster rocker –told how he has now 'cut out people that were not good' for him, and that posing topless for his album promo is a 'kickback against those people'.
He's not shying away from hard topics to climb the charts either. He says: 'Me and my friends were talking about sexuality. It was what young people were talking about but it wasn't being represented in music at all. It was kind of like, 'Oh, don't sing about that. It's too political to go on Radio One.'
'I was like, 'This is what people want to hear, this is what I want to say, this is what I want to sing about'.'

Diane Parish sends fans wild with behind-the-scenes Soap Awards snaps
EastEnders icon Diane Parish took to social media over the weekend to share a fun-fuelled video of highlights from the 2025 British Soap Awards - which did not give away any of the winners Diane Parish was in a celebratory mood on Saturday night as she joined her EastEnders castmates and headed to Hackney for the British Soap Awards 2025. The 55-year-old soap icon, famous for playing Denise Fox on the BBC show since 2006, had been on the long list for one of the show categories. The star had been initially nominated for the Best Leading Performer gong, but did not advance to the second round of nominations for the prestigious award. Instead, EastEnders co-stars Lacey Turner and Kellie Bright were nominated for the gong alongside Emmerdale stars Beth Cordingly and Eden Taylor-Draper. Stars from Hollyoaks and Coronation Street were also at the glitzy awards show on Saturday night, which was hosted by singing sensation and cruise ship enthusiast Jane McDonald. The full list of winners was announced on Saturday night, but some fans are waiting to find out who took home which prize when highlights from the ceremony are broadcast on ITV on Thursday night. With this in mind, Diane took to social media on Sunday to share her own highlights from the night, which did not give anything away. She shared a two-and-a-half-minute-long video from the celebrations, which included footage of her partying with fellow soap stars before, during and after the event. Uploading the footage to her main grid, Diane wrote: "NO SPOILERS for those who don't wanna know. But I am sooooo PROUD of everyone who works on @bbceastenders What a night!" Clips showed her laughing and chatting with co-stars, encouraging members of the public in the live audience to cheer, spotlighting Anita Dobson in the crowd, and partying at the after party. Soap stars were thrown into a panic at the party, however, as the after-show venue was hit by a bomb hoax. The event was held at London's Hackney Town Hall after the main awards. But attendees were suddenly asked to leave the venue shortly before 1am after the event had reportedly received a bomb threat. "We all got evacuated just before 1am. No reason was given at first and security came round and told us we had to leave immediately," a source told The Mirror - recounting the nerves shredding experience. "As we all waited in the street outside, security told us there had been a bomb threat. We weren't allowed back in the building so people started making their way home." In a video shared with The Mirror, some of TV's biggest soap stars can be seen waiting outside the venue as more evacuate - with the likes of EastEnders' Tameka Empson and former Hollyoaks star Emmett J Scanlan among them. A show source also told The Mirror: "Owing to a security alert after the recording of the awards, it was necessary to evacuate the after party venue. Everyone was cleared from the building safely." Meanwhile, fans of soaps took to social media to slam ITV for failing to broadcast the event live - with many annoyed that they would have to wait until Thursday before being able to see who would take to the stage. Taking to X to slam the delay in broadcast, one fan raged: "It's ridiculous that the British Soap Awards isn't live… there's more hype for the soap stars arriving outside for something not even airing on tv for another week than there is the Britain's Got Talent final… sort it out for next year please @itv." The British Soap Awards 2025 will be broadcast via ITV1 and ITVX on Thursday 5 June 2025 at 8pm.

Dani Dyer 'signs up for Strictly' after marrying Jarrod Bowen on emotional day
Dani Dyer has reportedly signed up to take part in this year's series of Strictly Come Dancing after tying the knot with footballer Jarrod Bowen in a lavish wedding this weekend. The 28-year-old, who is the daughter of actor Danny Dyer, is best known for winning Love Island back in 2018. While her romance with Love Island co-star Jack Fincham didn't work out, Dani finally found her happy ending - with the TV star marrying Premier League footballer Jarrod, 28, after they first started dating in 2021. Now, the TV star is rumoured to be taking to the Strictly dancefloor, with reports that she has signed a pre-contract for the show and is currently in pay deal talks. A Strictly insider told The Sun that BBC bosses are "thrilled" that she'll be taking part and are currently "ironing out her fee". They added: "She's bubbly, down-to-earth and straight-talking and producers reckon she'll make an ideal contestant — not to mention the bonus of having Jarrod and dad Danny in the audience supporting her." The Mirror has reached out to Strictly Come Dancing and Dani Dyer's representatives for comment. Mum-of-three Dani wed Jarrod in a low-key ceremony, with Dani stunning in a Suzanne Neville dress that reportedly cost £10,000 and paid for by her parents Danny and Jo. Dani's younger sister Sunnie, 18, gave a special speech on the big day and rea a poem from Sex and The City, according to MailOnline. It read: "His hello was the end of her endings. Her laugh was their first step down the aisle. His hand would be hers to hold forever. His forever was as simple as her smile. He said she was what was missing. She said instantly she knew. She was a question to be answered. And his answer was 'I do.'" Meanwhile, Dani and Jarrod's two-year-old twin daughters Star and Summer were flower girls, while Dani's four-year-old son Santiago who she shares with ex Sammy Kimmence was a page boy alongside Dani's brother Arty, 11. It wasn't an entirely wholesome day however, with the couple's wedding guests singing a hilariously X-rated football chant after their nuptials. As they entered the reception for the first time as husband and wife, their guests began chanting the widely-known West Ham song: "Bowen's on fire, and he's sh***ing Dani Dyer."
