Noel and Liam Gallagher hold hands in historic moment as Oasis tour kicks off
The guns have fallen silent, and the wait is officially over—Oasis is back. Once-feuding brothers Noel, 58, Liam Gallagher, 52, last performed together in 2009, and no one has been in any doubt about the frosty relationship between them since the band split. But now, after 16 years of both private rows and public mudslinging—and for the sake of taking home a reported £50million each—the siblings have called a truce. Tonight, they walked out to a roaring, sold-out crowd at Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, to kick off their hotly anticipated reunion tour, which was announced last August. Bang on 8:15pm, Noel and Liam launched into their tune Hello, which seems a rather apt opener. After this, they went into Acquiesce, which originally appeared as the B-side to Oasis' first number-one single, Some Might Say, in 1995. It was also the opener that many predicted when set lists seemingly leaked just days ago ahead of the gig to 74,500 adoring fans. The brothers swaggered out on stage in their usual attire—Liam in his coat and Noel in a denim shirt—following a video displaying numerous headlines about their feud and subsequent reconciliation. 'This is not a drill,' also appeared on the screen in giant letters, with the crowd—decked out in bucket hats, shades, and Oasis merch—sending cups flying by jumping in the air once the Britpop band appeared. Before their third song, (What's the Story) Morning Glory? Liam said on the mic: 'Hello, people, it's been too long.' 'It's good to be back, good to be back,' he added, then shouting: 'Yes, beautiful people!' Noel and Liam appear to want to keep their distance for much of the night, which follows rumours that they barely rehearsed together in the lead-up to the inaugural show. For the eighth year, 150,000 festival goers will descend on Glasgow Green from 11-13 July to see the liked of 50 Cent, Gracie Abrams and Biffy Clyro, and you could be there!

Full T&Cs apply, see here. However, at one point in an undeniably historic moment, Liam grabbed his older brother's arm and raised it high in the air, basking in the applause and screams from the packed stadium. Present tonight were plenty of famous faces, all keen to say they were part of music history. More Trending Long-time Oasis fan Louis Tomlinson was in the building, joined by Danny Dyer, Vicky McClure, and Vernon Kay, plus the band members' own children. Tonight, Noel and Liam were joined on stage by Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs, Gem Archer, Andy Bell, and Joey Waronker. Doors opened at 5pm before support acts Cast and Richard Ashcroft performed at 6pm and 7pm, respectively.

Netflix has me hooked on this 'naughty' hidden gem Spanish period drama
This week I've been bingeing a new-to-me period drama that's a whole heap of fun, but I somehow missed when it was initially released earlier this year. However, my Netflix recommendations eventually came through for me last weekend when they suggested I try a Spanish historical show. A hidden gem, The Lady's Companion tells the story of chaperone Elena Bianda (Nadia de Santiago), who is hired on a trial basis to find husbands for three wealthy sisters (Isa Montalbán's Cristina, Zoe Bonafonte's Sara and Iratxe Emparán as Carlota) in Madrid by their foreboding father, Don Pedro (Tristán Ulloa). Battling the sharp elbows of her fellow chaperones alongside frustrating relatives of the family's, it soon becomes clear that Elena is also hiding from a past that comes back to bite her, with the audience drawn into a late 19th-century world of love, scandal and comic intrigue. And obviously there are several potential suitors running around, causing chaos, including Álvaro Mel as Santiago, Iván Lapadula as Eduardo and Carloto Cotta as Gabriel. Wake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro's TV Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your show in the link we'll send you so we can get TV news tailored to you. I would describe The Lady's Companion (Spanish title: Manual para señoritas) as a mix between Bridgerton and Fleabag with a touch of Amélie's vibrant colour and whimsy, producing an entertaining and period drama in its own right – with a sprinkling of naughtiness. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video It has some of the sauciness and irreverence towards the traditional view of these kinds of shows as Bridgerton does; there are certainly some pre-marital bedroom shenanigans going on from as early as the first episode… Our heroine Elena regularly breaks the fourth wall, addressing the camera and talking directly to the audience à la Fleabag (although no one's caught her out yet, like Andrew Scott's Hot Priest). She also argues with the show's narrator when she deems he's stepping out of line. While the abundance of flowers and the characters' gorgeously sumptuous dresses are also reminiscent of Bridgerton, with the brightness turned up to 11 on the colour as well as the quirkiness of fun graphics onscreen, we are also – knowingly – enjoying the artifice and fantasy, as with Jean-Pierre Jeunet's 2001 French film starring Audrey Tauou. The Lady's Companion also reminds me a bit of The Law According to Lidia Poët, although this show has matchmaking and romance more at the centre of it than Lidia Poët's mystery and crime. But Sara's quest to become a doctor also has a clear parallel to Lidia's experience as a female lawyer also trying to succeed in a male dominated profession and society. The show boasts plenty of racy moments alongside the general rebelliousness of its female characters, including its very own raunchy carriage-based rendezvous and plenty of illicit affairs. Anachronistic music choices are also injected, like Bridgerton, to spice up certain scenes, such as Whitney Houston's version of I Will Always Love You and The Turtles' iconic 1967 song Happy Together soundtracking a group dance number. I'm far from the only one enjoying The Lady's Companion either, with it nabbing 89% from fan reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. 'Amazing! I binge watched this. It is witty, funny, romantic, and has a fascinating storyline that forces you to develop an attachment to the characters. It is impossible not to love this series,' enthused Elise Hartley in a Google review as Rawan Najji G added: 'I love it. Can't wait for season TWOOO LETS GOO [si]. I literally finished it in one day y'all 😭😭' Sylvia W also revealed she had 'binged it in less than a week, which is very unusual for me' on Rotten Tomatoes, while Hannah labelled it 'a must watch'. More Trending 'Me and the wife could not stop laughing. We both agree they MUST not leave us hanging and bring it back for season 2,' chimed in Erich H. Sadly, it looks like The Lady's Companion may have fallen foul of the Netflix curse after the streamer confirmed in May that it had been cancelled after one season – despite being shaped around a continuation and ending on a cliff-hanger. Still, if you enjoy escaping into the safe space of a glossy and witty period drama, there are eight episodes waiting for you, nonetheless.

Lauren shuts down Coronation Street character as she fears what his motives are
Lauren Bolton (Cait Fitton) has been through enough hideous ordeals to last a lifetime in Coronation Street. Most recently she accidentally took some LSD and found herself wandering through the factory, hallucinating that she was being pursued by Joel Deering (Calum Lill). This flashback to the grim events that she endured at the hands of the evil pervert absolutely terrified her, so much so that she ended up falling down the fire escape and sustaining broken ribs and a ruptured spleen. Aadi Alahan (Adam Hussain), at whose party the LSD was taken, blames himself for what happened. Although he never meant for Lauren to take the drug it was his fault it was placed somewhere she could accidentally take it. Feeling guilty, he visited Lauren in hospital and she told him the hospital had done drug tests and concluded she was spiked. After Amy Barlow (Elle Mulvaney)'s experience of being spiked, Aadi felt even more guilty that he'd inadvertently put Lauren through a similar experience. He admitted to Billy (Daniel Brocklebank) that it was all his fault that there were drugs at the party and Nina (Mollie Gallagher), Summer (Harriet Bibby) and Lauren ended up taking them. Aadi tried to tell Lauren, too, but bottled it at the last minute when she told him not to blame himself that someone had brought drugs to the party. More Trending Wanting to do something to make things right for Lauren, Aadi insisted that he was going to lend her some money to help her get back on her feet. She was reluctant to accept but he wouldn't take no for an answer. Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers? Who's leaving Coronation Street? The latest gossip from Emmerdale?

We've seen before that Lauren can be suspicious when people try to help her – and after her horrific experience with Joel Deering it's completely understandable. Only a few months ago she lost her friendship with Bobby Crawford (Jack Carroll) after suspecting that he was blackmailing her in an attempt to get closer to her. Bobby had only been trying to help her and he was devastated when he found out what she'd thought. So when Aadi offers to help her move into her new flat and gives her an air fryer, Lauren is immediately suspicious of his motives and tells him she doesn't need any help from him.
