Freakier Friday: Lindsay Lohan ageless as she steals the show at sequel's London premiere
The sequel to 2003 Disney classic Freaky Friday hits cinemas on Friday, August 8. This time it has gone bigger and freakier - it includes a four-way switch.
Lindsay Lohan, returning as Anna Coleman, swaps bodies with her daughter, while Jamie, who once again plays the part of Tess Coleman, ends up switching with her soon-to-be step-granddaughter.
And with fans eager to see the latest offering, the stars of the show gathered in London for the fist sneak peek. Hollywood's finest took to the red carpet in the heart of the English capital's cinema district, Leicester Square.
While Jamie went for a striking all red attire, Lindsay matched the purple carpet with her fitted dress. Both looked stunning as they posed for the cameras, while the likes of Chad Michael Murray was also seen strutting his stuff in a casual black suit.

Top Trump and his Tartantastic Turnberry Golf Triumph
Or perhaps they were there to plead for a sympathetic tariff arrangement. Such abject grovelling reminds us of the arrangement at Diary Towers, where every morning our gang of craven reporters crawls on hands and knees into the Editor's office to have their orders for the day barked at them from across the Supreme Leader's desk. This can be a tad humiliating, as you can imagine, though it suits the Diary's 106-year-old copyboy, Junior, who can't walk upright any more, ever since that last operation when he got his knees replaced, his hips replaced, his ankle bones replaced and all of his spine. (We hear rumours that the surgeon who undertook the procedure gave the spine to his son as a birthday present, telling him it was a xylophone.) Gone are the days when Junior was a mere stripling of a lad, aged 105, and would scoot into the office on his skateboard. Still, there are many pleasures remaining to him, such as helping to compile the following classic tales from our archives… The Graduate We recall a prison English teacher who once asked if the class knew what a sentence was. Another teacher in East Ayrshire asked a pupil what his big brother, who she had previously taught, was doing. 'Six months,' came the replay. Spend, spend, spend A Hamilton T-shirt printers had a customer who requested a shirt made for his wife who had recently returned from New York, and a hefty credit card bill had ensued. He asked for a shirt with the usual "I Love NY" on the front, and on the back "Veni, Vidi, Visa", roughly translated as 'I came, I saw, I spent'. Petals and petting A reader was in an Edinburgh florist shop and spotted a chap ordering a large bouquet. The florist wrote down the message he wanted on the card, then thinking of a final flourish to add, asked: 'Will you want kisses?' 'I'll be expecting a lot more than that,' the chap replied. Brought to book We always assumed that an author signing a book added to its value for the reader. Not so in Glasgow's Waterstone's in Sauchiehall Street, where one of our correspondents watched as an elderly woman picked up a signed novel, only for her helpful friend to tell her: 'Don't get that one. Someone's written on it.' Cutting comment 'He must be great at his job,' said a young lad staring in the window of a key- cutting shop in Glasgow. 'Look at all the trophies he's got.'

ITV star eyes up Blind Date presenter role as Disney+ reboot confirmed after six years
EXCLUSIVE: Blind Date is returning to television screens for the first time in six years and former TOWIE star Bobby Norris is set to host the rebooted matchmaking show Former The Only Way Is Essex star Bobby Norris has put himself forward to host the reboot of Blind Date. It has been confirmed that Disney+ is bringing back the iconic matchmaking show reimagined for a contemporary audience. The new series will begin in a secret location where contestants must choose between three potential suitors hidden from view behind the legendary Blind Date wall, the only thing standing between them and their potential true love just metres away. With a host of unique, innovative and head-turning format twists, daters will see if forever love can truly grow as they spend the summer living together but potential new partners are always lurking behind the wall. The 10-part series will start production later this year and reality TV regular Bobby, who appeared in TOWIE from 2012 until 2021, is up for fronting the show. Speaking in an exclusive chat during a shoot with WhichBingo, presenter Bobby said: "Bobby's Blind Date. " Paul O'Grady and Cilla Black were legends so they're big shoes to fill but I think we could do it." Blind Date originally ran with Cilla as host on Saturday nights from November 30 1985 to May 31 2003 on ITV. The show returned in 2017 on Channel 5 with Paul presenting the revived programme until it ended in 2019. Melanie Sykes became the new voice of the show, taking over the role most famously held by Graham Skidmore in the original series. The show had a format similar to the series known in Australia as Perfect Match or in the US as The Dating Game. Three singles of the same sex were introduced to the audience and were then asked a question by a single individual of the opposite sex, who could hear but not see them, to choose with whom to go on a date. The couple then picked an envelope naming their destination and the following episode showed the couple on their date, as well as interviews with them about the date and each other. Locations ranged from Bognor Regis or a date in an ice cream factory, to Anguilla or the Maldives.

How Cowes found the secret of a successful seaside resort
These days, most English seaside towns are sites of national mourning. You pay your respects by walking up some deathtrap pier, dropping two pence in an arcade coin pusher and whispering, your flower now on the grave: 'Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.' But Cowes, on the Isle of Wight, has managed to stave off this sorry end. Its secret is Cowes Week. Cowes Week, which starts today, is an annual sailing regatta. It has earned its place as a respected event in Britain's sporting calendar – always in August, between Glorious Goodwood and the Glorious Twelfth – but its beginnings were unambitious. On 10 August 1826, following an advertisement in the Southampton Town and Country Herald a fortnight before, ships raced from Cowes to Southsea Castle near Portsmouth and back, eight nautical miles each way, for a prize of £100. Cowes's genius – and what has secured its survival – has been turning this local lark into a money-spinner: 'Cowes Week, The Oldest Sailing Regatta In The World.' While Poole and Bournemouth are still flogging sticks of rock to the same diminishing group of day-trippers, Cowes has rebranded as a 'sailing town'. To get technical, it has mastered what The Spectator's Wiki Man Rory Sutherland calls 'reverse benchmarking'. Rather than trying to compete with other seaside towns on the usual terms – best fish and chips, nicest beach – Cowes has gone its own way. It has a Henri Lloyd, some lovely bakeries, a big M&S and a nice restaurant that sells expensive seafood platters. The beach is not great, but no one cares. Before Cowes Week, Cowes was a dull administrative centre for the British Empire. Rice from the American colonies was brought to the town, which is at the northernmost point of the Isle of Wight, to clear customs before being distributed across Europe. Tourists only really started coming to Cowes when Queen Victoria built a palace in Italian renaissance style on a cliff on its eastern outskirts. Prince Albert said that the vista, overlooking the grey and murky Solent, reminded him of the Bay of Naples. Perhaps Albert was getting ahead of himself, but the Isle of Wight does have a foreign allure. This makes the rebrand to 'international sailing town' believable. Friedrich Engels, who visited the island often, said it was a 'little paradise', and oddly also compared it with Naples. Engels was apparently drawn to the Isle of Wight after reading a book by James Clark, a physician, who wrote in 1829 that the Isle of Wight's air had miraculous medicinal properties. '[The island] possesses several peculiarities of climate and situation,' said Clark, 'which render it a very favourable and commodious residence throughout the year for a large class of invalids.' There are still some wrong 'uns around the Isle of Wight, and around Cowes. Last year, a criminal who was on the run registered himself as living at my parents' address for the purpose of acquiring a driving licence, and I have also become friendly with a former convict who likes to pick magic mushrooms from a field near the town. HMP Isle of Wight, a high security 'super prison', is a ten-minute drive from Cowes. It was once home to the Kray twins and the Yorkshire Ripper. David Icke also lives on the Isle of Wight. Criminals, conspiracists and cosmopolitan sailors share Cowes happily.
