Banksy reveals lighthouse image in undisclosed location
The image on his Instagram has two older people walking their two dogs near the artwork, which is in black and white with the lighthouse tower shining outwards.
Another picture shows a blurred person riding a scooter and a graffiti tag close by the artwork.
The Bristol graffiti artist has seen his works fetch millions at auction, and led to speculation over his identity.
A post shared by Banksy (@banksy)
The latest work, revealed on Thursday, has a tag that seems to say Yaze, which is the mark used by Canadian graffiti artist Yaze, who also goes by the name Marco The Polo and cites Banksy as an inspiration.
The quote used by Banksy could also have been inspired from a song by Tennessee-based country band Lonestar, called Softly, which features the lyric: 'I want to be what you see in me. I want to love you the way that you love me.'
Online speculation has claimed that the new piece could be in French city Marseille, a location where French street artist Invader has brought his pixelated style.
Last year, London saw a swathe of animal-themed Banksy works including a rhino seemingly mounting a silver Nissan Micra, two elephant silhouettes with their trunks stretched out towards each other, and three monkeys that looked as though they were swinging on a bridge.
Since putting one of a gorilla lifting the shutter at London Zoo, Banksy has also posted another image, of a Madonna with baby Jesus and what looks like a bullet hole.
The lighthouse is his latest image.

Harry Potter reboot risks fan backlash over 'unexpected filming location'
Filming for the new Harry Potter reboot, which is being adapted for the small screen, is said to be underway, after the three main actors were announced last week Harry Potter reboot is said to be risking backlash from fans as the show films scenes in an "unexpected location". The HBO TV reboot is due to start filming in the Île de Sein off Brittany, despite the story being set in Britain. Producers have reportedly chosen the French location to set scenes for the hit where Hagrid appears to announce: "You're a wizard, Harry." However, the books detail that the hut is located on an island off Cornwall and not France. But, bosses are said to have chosen the different location to portray the iconic scene. However, it's been reported that some of the crew have found the choice amusing as they could've found a suitable place closer to home. The Sun reported that a TV insider said: "This caused a certain amount of amusement among the British crew who all agreed that they could have easily got windswept in virtually any part of the British Isles. They've been slightly bewildered by the fact they've actually gone to France to make a show which is so British — particularly since it's the first place they've gone to and they're doing key scenes there. "For fans it's likely to be a sign that with American producers running the show, it might not be as mindful of Harry Potter as a national treasure that shouldn't be tampered with." Around 30 people are said to be at Pointe du Raz on the west coast of Brittany and have been travelling by boat to the island each day. It's thought that there is a supposedly haunted 19th century lighthouse on the island which might be used as the hut in the TV series. The iconic Harry Potter franchise films were all made in the studio or on location in Britain. Locations such as London, Bath, Durham and the Scottish Highlands were used as filming locations. Warner Bros has invested millions in expanding its studio at Leavesden, near Watford for the filming on the TV reboot. This comes after it was announced last week which actors would be taking on the main three roles in the show - Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. Scottish actor Dominic McLaughlin would be taking on the lead role previously played in the movies by Daniel Radcliffe. He will be working alongside fellow rising stars Arabella Stanton as Hermione Granger and Alastair Stout as Ron Weasley. Hagrid, which was previously played by late actor Robbie Coltrane, will now be taken over by Nick Frost instead. Albus Dumbledore will be played by actor John Lithgow will be the wizard school's headmaster Albus Dumbledore and Paul Whitehouse will appear as Hogwarts' caretaker Argus Filch.

Fitness influencer Tammy Hembrow slammed for 'half naked' and 'disrespectful' attire in Egypt
Tammy Hembrow has been slammed by followers this week as she shared the very chic outfits she wore during her lavish trip to Egypt. The fitness influencer, 31, has been living it up in the transcontinental country, where modest attire is considered the cultural norm, posting several selfies to Instagram. However, some fans have taken exception to Tammy's desert ensembles, which often see her flashing her tattooed arms and midriff as she wears a headscarf. 'Pretty sure this is cultural appropriation cause you're not wearing that scarf to cover your body,' someone wrote beneath one of her many posts. 'A holiday to Egypt, while half naked, is possibly one the most time [sic] deaf things I've ever seen,' said another. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'Your choice of clothing is actually quite offensive to the locals Your travel advisor should have told you about local etiquette,' a third commented. Another said beneath a photo of Tammy flashing her toned tummy in a crop top: 'I didn't know they let u show ur stomach in Egypt.' 'No hate but I'd have thought showing a lot of skin in a majority Muslim country would be considered disrespectful?' noted another user. Tammy also posted a reel of photos which saw her stripping down to a bikini and flaunted her figure as she lounged by the pool at her resort. 'I'm sure that what you are wearing is not suitable for Egypt,' someone said beneath the post. But Tammy assured her followers she was staying at a hotel which allowed her to wear a bikini at the beach and by the pool. 'We were told it's fine. People can wear bikinis at beach/pool,' she wrote. While there is no legal dress code in Egypt, it is considered respectful for tourists to follow the cultural norm of modest attire.

Visitors are also expected to cover their shoulders and knees with loose clothing. A glance at Tammy's photos shows she followed that rule of thumb, unless in a private setting with her friends and travel guide or at her hotel. Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Tammy for further comment. As of Saturday, Tammy has officially returned home to Australia and reunited with her children Wolf, 10, Saskia, eight, and Posey, five.

Inside Dani Dyer and Jarrod Bowen's wedding day as it happens
TV star Dani Dyer and her West Ham footballer beau Jarrod Bowen are tying the knot in a low-key wedding today. The former Love Island star, who is a mum to three children, got engaged to Jarrod, 28, after he popped the question in a romantic proposal during a boat trip in Ibiza last year. Dani then returned to the White Isle for her hen do, which took place a week before she was due to walk down the aisle. The 28-year-old reality star, who is the daughter of EastEnders and acting icon Danny Dyer, has given a few details about her nuptials during the planning process. Dani opted for a low-key wedding, as the pair will exchange their vows in the picturesque English countryside. Keen to stick to tradition, the blushing bride reportedly stayed separately from her footie star fiancé on the eve of the wedding as she stayed with her parents Danny and Jo. Dani's big day is set to be a family affair, as her former Mick Carter actor dad, 47, will walk her down the aisle while her two-year-old twin daughters, Summer and Star, will be flower girls. Dani is a proud mum to the twins as well as her four year old son Santiago, who she shares with her ex Sammy Kimmence. Santiago, who has an adorable nickname for his stepdad, is also set to be page boy alongside Dani's brother Arty. Clearly a fan of the Bridgerton aesthetic, the TV star's nuptials are said to be themed around the Netflix hit, with lots of violins there to perform music. And while the celebrity couple's fanbase is large, the guest list for their VIP wedding has been kept small as the couple are said to have invited only 50 guests to celebrate their big day. As Dani and Jarrod's vision for their special day comes to life, we'll be bringing you the latest from their big day as it comes, so stay tuned! The couple are tying the knot less than a year after Jarrod popped the question to Dani. After seeking Dani's dad's permission, Jarrod got down on one knee during to boat trip in Ibiza. Dani and Jarrod then announced the news by sharing a string of sweet snaps from the proposal, which showed off Dani's gorgeous glittering ring, on their Instagram. The couple then captioned the snap with: "Us forever" followed by a ring emoji. Her ring features a huge oval cut diamond set on a pavé band lined with smaller diamonds. According to the CEO of The Diamond Pro, Mike Fried, her centre diamond looked to be approximately 4 carats and is likely worth a hefty $100,000 (£77,376). Speaking about the ring, Mike said: "The elongated shape of her diamond gives the ring the utmost elegance. It's evident that a lot of time and effort went into designing the ring, a testament to this couple's commitment and strong future together." Acting icon Danny shares a close bond with his daughter Dani, as the pair regularly collaborate on joint career ventures together – including their podcast, Live and Let Dyers. The night before her wedding, Dani stayed with her dad and mum Jo. And on the big day, Danny is set to walk his daughter down the aisle. Danny has been vocal about his approval of Dani's hubby-to-be Jarrod – especially as he is captain of Danny's beloved footie team, West Ham. Speaking in October, the former Mick Carter actor revealed on Heart Breakfast that Jarrod called him to ask the star's permission to marry Dani. As Heart Radio host Jason King said he'd be terrified to do so, Danny revealed: "No, you've got to remember I'm obsessed with this man. "There is nothing he can do wrong in my eyes. He scored the winning goal in a European final." Dani has given some insight into her wedding day to Jarrod. The star has revealed the special day is inspired by Netflix hit series Bridgerton, set in the Regency era. So we can expect plenty of florals, pastel colours and lots of violins – as a staple of the series is the classical twists on modern classics. Meanwhile, in February, Dani revealed her hopes for an intimiate affair as she revealed during a Q&A on her Instagram story: "I would say it's as intimate and small as it can be! I honestly can see why people go and elope and then have a big party because the guest list [I] honestly found soooo difficult!"
