The pair were also spotted wandering the back streets carrying a bottle of wine HARRY'S NEW ROME-ANCE Harry Styles spotted enjoying Rome and Vatican with Belgian designer as ex-1D star continues love affair with Italy HE has made no secret of his love for Italy – and now it seems Harry Styles is enjoying showing off his favourite spots there.

The pair were also spotted wandering through the back streets of Rome — with Harry carrying a bottle of wine. A source said: 'Harry loves nothing more than showing people his favourite spots in Italy. 'He also loves art and Kim has been a great source of inspiration.' Kim, who grew up in Antwerp, Belgium, has shared pictures on her Instagram of The Loggia Of Cupid And Psyche — a mural depicting a love affair — at the Villa Farnesina in Rome. She also posted snaps of red peppers drying on a rooftop in Ravello on Italy's Amalfi Coast. It comes as Harry is rumoured to have fallen in love with the small Italian village of Civita di Bagnoregio. The Watermelon Sugar hitmaker spent the pandemic learning Italian and sign language. During his final Love On Tour show in Reggio Emilia, Italy, in 2023, Harry thanked 120,000 fans in Italian. Speaking in their language, he said: 'The last two years of my life have been a wonderful gift and it is truly very special to end my tour here, in a country that has a special place in my heart.' Harry Styles' mystery woman revealed after Glastonbury snog - and she's VERY different to the women he's dated before In June, the singer was seen sharing a passionate kiss with producer Ella Kenny at Glastonbury Festival. It came after his relationship with actress Taylor Russell ended in May last year. He was seen kissing model Emily Ratajkowski on a night out in 2023 and has previously dated model Kendall Jenner, singer Taylor Swift and actress Olivia Wilde. Last month, Harry launched his own vibrating sex toy and lubricant through his lifestyle brand, Pleasing. Alongside his new passion as a tour guide, it seems that Harry has many strings to his bow. DUA RULES AT FEST 8 Dua Lipa performs at Sunny Hill Festival in Kosovo Credit: Supplied DUA LIPA gave an electric performance at the Sunny Hill Festival in the capital of Kosovo on Friday. The annual event, which she organises with her family, also saw her sing on stage with her dad Dukagjin. Posting on Instagram, she wrote: 'This festival is something my family and I created with so much love for our city Pristina. 'And to see it come to life like this is beyond anything I could've dreamed of.' The New Rules hitmaker also revealed that she has been granted Kosovan citizenship. The singer was born in London to Kosovo-Albanian parents and briefly lived in Pristina when she was a child. Posting a number of snaps from the weekend, including a selfie with her certificate, she wrote: 'Got my Kosovo citizenship the night before then partied hard at Sunny Hill Festival the night after!!!' HEIDI READY FOR SUGA HIT ON TV 8 Heidi Range will recount her days in the pop group Sugababes Credit: Getty HEIDI RANGE is set to lift the lid on her tumultuous time in the Sugababes in explosive BBC documentary Girlbands Forever. The singer will sit down with interviewer Louis Theroux to recount her days in the pop group, which has had six members over the years, including the original (and current) line-up of Mutya Buena, Keisha Buchanan and Siobhan Donaghy, as well as former members Jade Ewen and Amelle Berrabah. A source close to the project, which follows last year's Boybands Forever, said: 'Heidi has never spoken about what went on. 'Louis reached out to her directly and she finally agreed to take part a couple of weeks ago. It was an emotional interview and one that viewers will want to watch.' Last year, the Sugababes were handed a gong at the Mobo Awards, but Heidi's mum hit out after her daughter was 'white-washed' from the nomination video. She wrote on Instagram: 'I can't believe the cheek of it. Sugababes didn't have a hit till Heidi joined. It is so false and disrespectful the way they are carrying on.' Mutya hit back: 'When I wasn't in the group and the girls was doing big things without me, do you think I was getting upset about not being mentioned?' A spokesman for the original trio declined to comment. Forget the Suga – things might be about to turn very sour again. GENT IS IN LOVE 8 Tom Rhys Harries and songwriter Amy Allen Credit: Getty THE Gentlemen actor Tom Rhys Harries has just landed the starring role in DC Studios' Clayface, the villain and ally of Batman. But I can reveal the Welsh hunk is also a leading man in American songwriter Amy Allen's life. The pair soft-launched their relationship on Instagram, with Grammy-winning songwriter Amy sharing snaps of their holiday to Spain. A source told me: 'Tom and Amy are in the honey-moon phase and are the new power couple in town. 'Tom is a rising star in the film industry and Amy has fast become the first person pop stars want to work with.' Earlier this year, Amy scooped the Grammy Award for Songwriter Of The Year – the first woman to win the gong since its introduction in 2023. Amy penned Sabrina Carpenter hit tracks Espresso and Please Please Please as well as co-writing Adore You and Matilda for Harry Styles. Sounds like Tom and Amy will make sweet music together.

The Good 4 U hitmaker wore a sparkly silver halter neck corset and mini skirt as she took to the stage on Friday. Sabrina Carpenter and A$AP ROCKY are set to top the bill at the festival tonight. In June, Olivia headlined Glastonbury, describing it as the 'best weekend there ever was'. I was there and can vouch for that. PUB JOB FOR SAM BEFORE rising to fame on Eurovision in 2022, Sam Ryder started out singing in boozers – and now he has been appointed Head of Gigs for Greene King Pubs to help support up-and-coming artists. Sam, who dropped new single The Feeling Never Went Away from his upcoming album Heartland on Friday, said: 'Pubs provided a place for me to actually learn how to play in front of people. 'Before the pub stage, you just played guitar in your bedroom as loud as it could go. 'At pubs, you got the chance to hone your craft and learn different songs, create a little catalogue, get the expertise of actually playing in front of people.' I couldn't agree more, Sam.

Man's terrifying discovery after setting up camera to work out why food was going missing
An actor was living with his girlfriend in New York City when he noticed that his food was going missing - so he set up a hidden camera in the kitchen to catch the culprit New York-based actor Joe Cummings was living with his girlfriend when he noticed something strange - his food kept disappearing. Sure he wasn't imagining things, he initially suspected his girlfriend was sneaking late-night snacks. But when she denied it, Joe decided to get to the bottom of the mystery by installing a hidden camera in the kitchen. It comes after a woman claimed 'My friend is naming her baby after a fish – she can't see how ugly it is'. What he discovered was far more disturbing than he ever expected. Rather than catching his girlfriend red-handed, the footage revealed something straight out of a horror film: a woman he didn't recognise slowly emerging from a storage loft above the kitchen in the dead of night. She climbed down onto a table, used the kitchen sink as a toilet, drank from the fridge, and helped herself to food from the pantry. At one point in the footage, shared on YouTube, Joe himself walks into the kitchen, unaware of the intruder silently hiding just out of view. After reviewing the shocking clip in 2009, Joe immediately left the apartment and called the police. When officers arrived, they found the woman still hiding in the loft. According to Joe, she had set up a makeshift sleeping area with a blanket in the crawl space, which extended surprisingly deep into the building's structure and had no ventilation. 'The police officers thought she had been living there for at least a couple of weeks,' Joe later explained. 'I had no idea who she was. She didn't say much when the cops came and took her out.' Joe speculated that the woman may have entered through a fire escape window and decided to stay, possibly after initially breaking in to rob the place. Police added that this wasn't the first time they had encountered a squatter living secretly in someone's home. Ultimately, Joe chose not to press charges, saying he 'felt bad' for the woman, describing her behaviour as almost 'feral.' The unsettling footage was later uploaded to YouTube, where it quickly went viral - unnerving millions of viewers around the world.

Midsomer Murders fans told to binge 'absolutely brilliant' detective drama they've probably never heard of
The Brokenwood Mysteries follows a crime-solving duo in a small town, just like Midsomer Murders - and the detective series has been dubbed as "the New Zealand Midsomer Murders" ITV Midsomer Murders fans are being encouraged to discover another "absolutely brilliant" detective series featuring a crime-solving partnership they've likely never encountered - but will undoubtedly find themselves binge-watching. The New Zealand-based crime drama, The Brokenwood Mysteries, centres on Detective Senior Sergeant Mike Shepherd and rule-following Detective Kristin Sims as they probe offences in the tranquil, small-town environment of Brokenwood. Much like the popular ITV drama Midsomer Murders, which features Neil Dudgeon - who recently discussed the 'far-fetched' storylines - The Brokenwood Mysteries presents an experienced DI partnering with a younger detective as they handle peculiar cases in a compact and apparently perfect town. Branded as "the New Zealand Midsomer Murders" it chronicles DI Mike Shepherd and his colleague, DC Kristin Sims, as they address baffling cases in the quiet town of Brokenwood, reports Hello! The ensemble is headed by Neill Rea (Go Girls, Auckward Love), portraying Shepherd, and Fern Sutherland (The Almighty Johnsons) as Sims, reports the Manchester Evening News. The programme's synopsis reveals that DI Mike Shepherd arrives in the ostensibly serene town of Brokenwood "with a classic car, a country music collection, and an indeterminate number of ex-wives". It adds: "His assistant, DC Kristin Sims, is a by-the-book investigator 15 years younger than her boss's car. Shepherd soon discovers that Brokenwood is full of secrets and suspicions." In the newest instalment, Shepherd and his colleagues find themselves entangled in a "web of deception, greed and dark secrets" whilst tackling their most baffling investigations in the picturesque village of Brokenwood, ranging from "mysterious murders" to "seemingly supernatural incidents". The programme, which proudly holds an 86 per cent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, has earned acclaim from audiences who've branded it "excellent" and a "must-watch" across social media platforms. One viewer gushed: "The Brokenwood Mysteries. An absolutely BRILLIANT detective mystery from New Zealand. Quirky, well acted, great stories." Another fan characterised the programme as a "lighter New Zealand mystery series set in modern times in quirky small town.," praising its "plenty of humour among dark deeds, good writing, acting, and strange deaths." A third enthusiast urged fellow viewers to give it a go, declaring: "If you want a really excellent programme to watch, have a look at The Brokenwood Mysteries on Drama. The best thing I've watched in years." The Brokenwood Mysteries is available to binge-watch on the streaming service U. The 11th season arrives on U and U&Drama on Monday, August 18
