Newsboy's horse racing tips for Monday's four UK meetings
Our man has plumped for a course specialist at Catterick as his Monday nap, while an in-form mare gets his vote at Windsor's evening meeting COCONUT BAY gets the vote for a fourth course-and-distance success by beating 11 opponents for the Happy Birthday Mark Blair Handicap (4.45) at Catterick Bridge. Tristan Davidson's mare has won three of her eight races at Catterick - a strike-rate that can be narrowed down to 3-7 over the track's seven furlongs if you discount a defeat over a mile and a half in the spring of 2023. The latest win in the garrison town came in July and Coconut Bay has suffered defeat in her two subsequent starts. But don't write Bated Breath's daughter off - the ground was unsuitably soft here on her penultimate outing and Coconut Bay got no cover when sixth of seven behind Patontheback in an amateur riders' handicap at Musselburgh last time. Rowan Scott's course specialist is just 1lb above the mark from which she scored here earlier in the summer and should not be underestimated. At Windsor, UNDER THE TWILIGHT is expected to give her rivals weight and a beating in the Get The Inside Track With Handicap (7.00). On the back of a course-and-distance victory at the end of June, Rossa Ryan's partner ran a cracker to finish a neck second to Dubai Treasure at the Qatar Goodwood Festival and a 4lb higher mark may not stop her from returning to winning ways.

Thursday Murder Club's Jonathan Pryce shares real reason he accepted role on Netflix film
Welsh actor Jonathan Pryce plays Stephen Best in The Thursday Murder Club film. The Thursday Murder Club arrives on Netflix on August 28 and the film, which has a full trailer, is based on Richard Osman's novel of the same name. The movie stars Helen Mirren as Elizbeth Best, a former spy who teams up with other amateur sleuths to investigate cold cases. Elizabeth is married to Stephen, a retired academic who is very well travelled and has written several scholarly books. Post-retirement, he prefers to say at home in his own company and loves a good game of chess. Heartbreakingly, Stephen shows the early signs of dementia and sometimes becomes confused. Actor Pryce shared the main reason why he was so keen to join the Netflix adaptation of Osman's book. He said it was the opportunity to work with Helen Mirren, adding: "That was major. The inspiration for doing this film was to work with her. "We were in the same scene, but I never got to talk to her on Woman in Gold and Helen is an actress I've long admired. "She's extraordinary and it's a privilege to work with her." The 78-year-old actor from Carmel also admitted he has actually never played chess in his life, despite his character being a huge fan. "Haven't a clue! But we had experts on set all the time telling us where to put our pieces," he explained. "It's kind of fun, looking like you're an expert on something and not having a clue." Director Chris Columbus praised the star, saying he is "an actor who can carry several films on his own". He shared: "The fact that he agreed to do a supporting role in this picture speaks volumes about Richard Osman's wonderful source material and his ability to infuse all of the roles, no matter how big or small, with a three dimensional, complex reality." Pryce is otherwise known for his roles in Brazil, Pirates of the Caribbean, Barbarians at the Gate and The Crown. He was honoured with a knighthood for services to drama in 2021.

Loose Women faces another blow amidst ITV cuts and 'disappointing' change
The stars of Loose Women have reportedly been left 'disappointed' after they undergo a studio 'downgrade' after it was announced the show was being cut to 30 weeks It's been reported that the Loose Women stars have been hit by yet another blow, and it's claimed that the stars have been left 'disappointed' by their new studio. The show is currently filmed in London's White City but will soon move - with it being reported to be moved to The Hospital Club in Covent Garden. It was revealed that the show would only air for 30 weeks from 52. This is not the only blow, however, as the show will also be losing its studio audience. Reports have also suggested that some of the 26-strong panel could also be cut. Now, it's been reported that the new "broom cupboard" studio will be a third of the size of their old one, leaving the presenters hugely disappointed. It comes after one TV star admitted she sleeps in separate bed to partner as she fumes over pregnancy. "Cast and crew are crestfallen. It feels like a broom cupboard. It's going to be very cramped," a source told The Sun. "It feels like the show they've fought so long and hard to create is slowly being decimated. It's heartbreaking.' ITV also confirmed that there were no plans to change the show being broadcast across ITV1 and ITVX. Earlier this week, Janet Street Porter said the changes wouldn't affect her, although she was sad about the huge changes. "They won't really affect me because I work when I want to work," she shared with Woman Magazine. "I can see they need to save money, but from my point of view, I'm sad they've cut the episodes because Loose Women as a brand is doing extremely well for ITV. "Very well indeed. It's increased its audience share and it's loved by the audience," Janet, who has been part of the show for 11 year,s said. Alongside their daytime show, the Loose Women launched their own podcast in March this year, which was available every Tuesday and Friday on ITVX. The show featured a different duo from the show each episode, who opened up on a wide variety of topics. The podcast is said to do brilliantly on ITVX, with the hosts releasing 20 episodes in the first series. It was later announced that the show would be back for a second series later this summer.
