Who is in Interior Design Masters season 6?
Alan Carr's Interior Design Masters is back on BBC with a whole collection of new designers hoping to impress the notoriously tough judge Michelle Ogundehin.
From a farmer's daughter to a sexual health charity development manager and a teacher born with a limb difference, there are 10 new faces to get to know on Interior Design Masters over the coming weeks.
Former travel adviser Roisin Quinn was crowned the Interior Design Master winner, beating Matt Smith-Wood to the title in the final last year.
This year the novice designers are competing for the winner's enviable prize — to team up with John Lewis for their very own collection of homewares. The first episode of Interior Design Masters sees the contestants head to Lake District to show off their skills.

'Race Across the World' Contestant Dead in Car Crash
Reality TV contestant Sam Gardiner, who as a teenager competed opposite his mother on Race Across the World, has died after a single-car accident. He was May 26, Gardiner was driving by himself through Manchester, England, when the white Volkswagen in which he was traveling careened off the road and toppled over, according to a statement from the Greater Manchester Police. Gardiner was taken to a local hospital, where he later died of his injuries. 'His family have been informed and are being supported by specially trained officers,' the statement continued. 'They have asked for privacy at this terrible time.' Gardiner gained worldwide recognition when he competed in the 2019 season of Race Across the World alongside his mother, Jo. 'Sam left us far too soon, and whilst words will never fully capture the light, joy and energy he brought into our lives, we hold on to the memories that made him so special,' Jo and Gardiner's father, Andrew, wrote in a statement released by the Greater Manchester Police. 'As a son, brother and nephew, he was loyal, funny and fiercely protective,' they wrote, adding that he was 'adored by his family.' They said his experience on Race Across the World 'opened his eyes to the wonder of adventure and travel' and that he 'touched everyone he met on the road.''Sam brought warmth, laughter and a smattering of chaos wherever he went,' Jo and Andrew's statement concluded. 'He leaves behind a huge hole in our hearts. We will miss him endlessly, but we'll also remember him with smiles, tall tales, and a depth of love that will never fade.' In a statement shared through the BBC, a spokesperson for Race Across the World shared their condolences on behalf of the series and shared that there would be a private funeral service held for Gardiner at a later date. "We are all deeply saddened to hear the tragic news about Sam,' the statement said. 'Everyone who worked with him, and indeed everyone who watched Sam, could see just how precious and transformative the trip was for both him and his mum, Jo."'Race Across the World' Contestant Dead in Car Crash first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 2, 2025

Miley Cyrus Sets The Record Straight On Her Estrangement With Dad Billy Ray Cyrus
Miley Cyrus and Billy Ray Cyrus are back on better terms. The singer opened up about her strained relationship with her father in a vulnerable sit-down with The New York Times 'The Interview' podcast. Interviewer Lulu Garcia-Navarro asked Cyrus if she was still estranged from her dad, to which she said 'no.' 'I think timing is everything,' the 32-year-old said. 'As I've gotten older, I'm respecting my parents as individuals instead of as parents — because my mom really loved my dad for her whole life, and I think being married to someone in the music industry and not being a part of it is obviously really hard.' The 'Flowers' singer said she thought she 'took on some of my mom's hurt as my own because it hurt her more than it hurt me as an adult, and so I owned a lot of her pain.' Now that both of her parents are with other people, Cyrus said that she 'can love them both as individuals instead of as a parental pairing.' 'I'm being an adult about it,' she said. 'At first it's hard, because the little kid in you reacts before the adult in you can go, 'Yes, that's your dad, but that's just another person that deserves to be in his bliss and to be happy.' My child self has caught up.' Speculation swirled that Cyrus and her 'Achy Breaky Heart' father were on strained terms after her siblings appeared to take sides following their parents' 2022 divorce. Cyrus previously denied being estranged from her father in an interview with David Letterman last year, in which she spoke about Billy Ray's 'narcissism' and said she was mostly raised by her mother. During the sit-down, Letterman said, 'There's not estrangement here with your father, it's just, kinda, the way things are played?' 'Yeah,' Cyrus said at the time. 'I think, what is so beautiful is that my parents ― they served their children, and I know this. My parents served us and sacrificed so much for us. Anything we dreamed of, they made possible.' Despite Cyrus' denial of a rift with her father, the singer seemed to purposefully leave her father out of her acceptance speech when she won her first Grammy in early 2024. She thanked her mom, sister Brandi Cyrus and her boyfriend, Maxx Morando ― seemingly leaving out her other siblings and father on purpose as she shouted out: '...all the people that we love! I don't think I've forgotten anyone.' To add to the speculation, Miley Cyrus and two of her siblings attended their mom Tish's wedding to 'Prison Break' actor Dominic Purcell in 2023. Notably absent were Cyrus' two siblings ― Braison and Noah Cyrus, the latter of whom was photographed wearing a Billy Ray Cyrus shirt over Tish's wedding weekend.

Prince Harry Spoke to Princess Diana's Brother About Changing His Last Name to Spencer & I'm Floored By the Prospect
When I first saw the headlines, I took it with a grain of salt: Over the weekend, The Mail on Sunday reported that Prince Harry spoke with his uncle, Charles Spencer, about the idea of dropping his royal last name of Mountbatten-Windsor in favor of using his late mother Princess Diana's surname, Spencer, instead. But could it really be true? As with many royal things, the sources felt spotty, but as more and more publications picked up the news, the gravity of the Duke of Sussex even considering a move like that hit me: The state of royal relations between father and son (and William) must be bleaker than we ever all, the move—which Diana's brother, Charles Spencer, is said to have talked Harry out of, according to the reports—would have also affected his children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, who are currently sixth and seventh in line to the British throne. (For example, it would have changed Lilibet's name from Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor to Lilibet Diana Spencer.) It also would have read like a royal mic drop and a permanent and symbolic severing of any remaining familial get me wrong: We already know that the state of Harry's relationship, specifically with his father King Charles, is practically non-existent in the wake of the Duke of Sussex's battle for U.K.-based security, per his recent interview with the BBC. But the idea that he would adopt his mother's last name feels like a blow that would remove all associations with the House of Windsor, not to mention chart a path that he couldn't take back. (That said, to formally align his identity with Diana's would not only carry a great deal of meaning for Harry, it would make sense given how similarly their life trajectories inside—but especially outside of—the royal sphere seem to align.)As for Charles Spencer's role, reports state that the 9th Earl Spencer—who recently saw Harry during a rare visit to the U.K. to attend the funeral of his uncle, Robert Fellowes, last year—talked him out of it and told Harry that the legal challenges to a decision like that would be 'insurmountable.' (Both William and Harry are notably close with Diana's brother.) Of course, this isn't the only name change drama that's cropped up for the Sussexes as of late. When Meghan Markle's recent Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, first debuted, much was made about her revelation to actress Mindy Kaling about changing her last name to Sussex—a move that solidified her family's collective identity, even if it wasn't formalized. 'I love that that is something that Archie, Lili, H and I all have together. It means a lot to me,' she shared. To be clear, based on reports, it sounds like Harry was just putting feelers out. (It's also good to know he has someone like Charles Spencer to lean on in times like this.) But a move like that would be major—and, sadly, speaks volumes about where things currently stand.
