Greg Davies Full Fat Legend review: 'charisma and earthy vulgarity'
This is not sophisticated, but neither is it cruel or cynical. Davies' heart is clearly in the right place despite the fact that he still bullies his sister. Is he a legend? Maybe not in the Curie or Ali department, but when it comes to the childish, self-mocking stand-up category, as his Bond-theme intro music puts it, nobody does it better.

Meghan hiding her kids' faces is a scheme, she'll be making money from the big reveal in no time, expert says
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE Duchess of Sussex hiding her children's faces is a money-making scheme, according to a royal expert. The Sun's Royal photographer Arthur Edwards accused Meghan Markle of "exploiting" her kids after posting rare footage of them at Disneyland last week.

The video on Instagram showed both her and Prince Harry beaming as they tackled various rides and sported Mickey Mouse ears. But the ex-Suits actress covered up both Archie, five, and Lilibet's faces with emojis and purposefully took other shots angled from behind. She captioned the video: "Thank you @disneyland for giving our family two days of pure joy!" The Sun's Royal photographer Arthur Edwards slammed Meghan's post as a "money-making scheme". Speaking on The Sun's Royal Exclusive show, he said: "I don't know why we can't see the children's faces. "I think she's obviously got some sort of scheme there where she might want some money ties on one day, I don't know. "But those children, I feel sorry for them really. I mean, they've got cousins here, they're never going to meet and never going to play with. "There's palaces here and castles here that they could enjoy as well and spend summer holidays with their cousins. I feel really sorry for them, cooped up in that place. "Will we ever see their faces? I don't know, maybe one day she'll produce a calendar or something of her children's faces and that'll be sort of another Meghan special." The footage starts with Lilibet excitedly dragging her dad through the park entrance before she is given a special greeting by a Disney princess. Next, the whole family are seen on a log flume and then the four-year-old appears on a Dumbo ride. It was reminiscent of photos taken of the Duke when he was eight and his mother Diana took him and William to Walt Disney World in Florida in 1993. The trio also took a trip to UK-theme park Alton Towers the following year. Chris Ship, ITV Royal Editor, added: "If you want to put your kids on social media, that's absolutely fine, you're taking that responsibility as a parent. "You've also got every right to keep them private and not put them on. "I just don't really like this, here's a picture of my kid, I'm going to put a big emoji over their face so you can't see because that's me protecting their privacy. "I'd rather not see them at all, if you want to protect them, rather than show them the corner of their ear in a photo." 5 Meghan Markle posted this cute snap for Lilibet's birthday Credit: instagram/meghan

A-list heartthrob new favourite to play next Bond villain
Fans are rejoicing as Pedro Pascal has emerged as the frontrunner to portray the next James Bond villain. The Last of Us and Gladiator 2 star is now the 4/1 favourite, narrowly edging out Cillian Murphy, who trails closely at 5/1, according to online bookmaker Betway. Skyrocketing to fame in the last few years, Pascal's recent run of roles has catapulted him into the global spotlight, making him a tantalising candidate for 007's next adversary. Betway now considers him the most likely star to take on the role, with fans sure to flock to cinemas for a chance to see Pascal's take on a Bond bad guy. 'Pedro Pascal's star power has skyrocketed in recent years,' said Betway spokesperson Mike Reading. 'He's built a global following thanks to standout performances in The Last of Us, Gladiator 2, and even hosting SNL. He is now the 4/1 favourite to take up the mantle of villain in the next James Bond film.' But the odds are growing steeper for the rest of the field. Giancarlo Esposito and Barry Keoghan are both currently sitting at 6/1, while Mad Max: Fury Road star Charlize Theron (the highest-ranked female candidate) is listed at 10/1. Further down the list are Stephen Graham, Saoirse Ronan, and Woody Harrelson, each with 16/1 odds. Graham's name has gained traction recently, thanks to his gritty turn in Adolescence, a performance Betway suggests could bring 'a bold new flavour' to the franchise. The next Bond film, now under the full creative control of Amazon MGM, is still in early development, with no confirmed casting announcements. More Trending Fans are also continuing to speculate about who will take on the role of 007 opposite whoever ends up as the newest Bond Villain (fingers crossed it will be Pascal). Six years after Daniel Craig announced his retirement from the franchise, it appears we are no closer to unveiling the next 007. Former favourite Idris Elba, 52, previously ruled himself out from playing the British spy, while other hotly tipped actors, including James Norton and Theo James, have remained coy. The current front-runner to become Bond is Aaron Taylor-Johnson, while bookies' Ladbrokes have also given preferential odds to the likes of Henry Cavill, Jack Lowden and Tom Hardy. Got a story?
