"I've [recently] been in Mallorca and Greece - jetsetter!" Alex bragged, and this seemed to surprise Danni: "Have you? How have I missed that, considering you put everything on Instagram!"
"Jet setting around trying to find a husband," Alex joked.
"Did you find a Greek God?" Danni asked and her co-host replied: "No, I didn't find a Greek God.
"The way I describe it, is that they're [Greek men] on the cusp of being Gods, they just can't…they're not over the hill."

Danni didn't agree: "Really? I find Greek men super attractive - I've definitely snogged loads of them.
"That's why I go to Greece a lot…that's why I spent a lot of time filming there," she joked. "No, but they're fit, nice dark features …"
"Yes they are, but there's still something missing for me," Alex remarked.
As for whether she had any holiday romances on her recent trips, she said "just friendships".

Mallorca, Greece, next up was Croatia.
Danni wondered: "Have you ever been to Hvar in Croatia? Havar, you'd love it, it's like a little party island and everybody seems to be fit there."
Recalling one summer when she went to Hvar with her younger sister, Danni said: "We went to a beach club, and I remember walking in, and turning around and looking at my sister's face, and my sister's face was [mouth open, jaw dropped].
"I asked her, 'What is it?' And she replied, 'everyone is so fit'.

"[I] started chatting to these guys, and I just couldn't see anybody that I would be that bothered about. I went to the bar to get a drink, and I turned around and this Adonis was standing behind me.
"He actually looked like a Greek God, really muscular, dark features, big beard. So I asked, 'Do you want to go skinny dipping?'"
He was the one who ended up getting with my sister's mate!
Danni
"Your opening line was 'Do you want to go skinny dipping?'" Alex asked. "Basically, 'I want to see you naked right now."
"We went skinny dipping and had a snog quite quickly. I ended up dating him for a year - do you know the worse bit of this? I didn't ask his age - he was so hairy, I just assumed he was my age.

"He was a lot younger - I think he was nine years younger than me. He also worked internationally, he was a watch dealer, so he was catching flights everywhere. So he'd just fly out to wherever I was filming.
"What happened? Where is he now?" Alex wondered.
Danni revealed: "He didn't manifest.... he was the one who ended up getting with my sister's mate. So I probably should've seen that coming considering the age gap."
Why did Danni leave A Place In The Sun?

Danni presented on Channel 4's A Place In The Sun for nearly six years and left in 2022 to explore other opportunities closer to home.
She explained that "travelling as much as I did, I found it hard to establish relationships".
"Also, six years in the same job, travelling loads, it was such an amazing experience, went to lots of great places, met lots of great people," she added.

"I was very much in my comfort zone and now I'm very much out of my comfort zone and it makes you feel a little bit more alive to be honest."

Netflix My Life With The Walter Boys announces major season 3 update
Netflix's My Life With The Walter Boys will be back later this month for its second season. WARNING: This article contains spoilers from My Life With The Walter Boys. My Life With The Walter Boys season two is merely weeks away, but there's already thrilling news about its third instalment. The coming-of-age romantic drama truly set tongues wagging when it initially dropped on Netflix two years ago, with Jackie Howard (played by Nikki Rodriguez) compelled to abandon her former existence in New York following the tragic loss of her family. She's welcomed by her mum's closest mate Katherine Walter (Sarah Rafferty) and resides with her husband and 11 children, comprising 10 boys and one girl, Parker (Alix West Lefler). A romantic triangle swiftly developed between 15 year old Jackie and siblings Alex (Ashby Gentry) and Cole Walters (Noah LaLonde), but a steamy snog with the latter prompted her to bolt from Colorado in the concluding episode. Whilst series two will shortly pick up from the explosive events of the inaugural season, Netflix has now delivered a crucial announcement concerning the third chapter. It was revealed back in May that My Life With The Walter Boys would be making a comeback for series three. Nevertheless, Netflix has subsequently announced that filming on the third season commenced today, Wednesday, August 6. Posting on X, previously Twitter, the streaming giant shared a snap of Rodriguez, Gentry and LaLonde alongside the message: "My Life With The Walter Boys season two? August 28. Season three? Now in production." Supporters couldn't hold back from rushing to the comments section to rejoice, with one viewer penning: "Season two dropping soon and Season 3 already in the works?" "My Life with the Walter Boys fans are eating good! Can't wait to see where the story goes next. "Double treat incoming!" a second declared, whilst another shared: "Season two isn't even out yet and we're already getting season three? Nice." A wave of additional comments also poured in, featuring "Rate this", "wow" and "so excited". Meanwhile, a viewer remarked: "Already? Don't make us wait another two years then." Production commenced on August 6 and is understood to be set to wrap on December 1, 2025. An official premiere date for the third series hasn't been revealed but it is anticipated to arrive sometime in 2026 so the delay will be considerably briefer this time round. In the interim, enthusiasts have series two to look forward to but how will Jackie's romances with Alex and Cole unfold as she returns to Silver Falls? My Life With The Walter Boys series two launches on Thursday, August 28, on Netflix.

Shamed BBC star Jermaine Jenas explains why he's glad he was sacked after sexting scandal
Shamed BBC star Jermaine Jenas explains why he's glad he was sacked after sexting scandal Jermaine Jenas was sacked by the BBC last year, but the former presenter of The One Show insists he is happy his time with the Beeb ended after being embroiled in a sexting scandal Jermaine Jenas has spoken about his sacking from the BBC (Image: YouTube/Reece Mennie podcast) Jermaine Jenas experienced a sense of relief following his dismissal from the BBC over inappropriate messages sent to two female colleagues. The former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder had held key positions at the corporation. He presented The One Show and was a regular pundit for Match of the Day, as well as the BBC's live football coverage of England matches and FA Cup fixtures. However, the BBC chose to terminate his contract last year following the sexting scandal. He was also taken off the air by TNT Sports and talkSPORT. Jenas has previously acknowledged his culpability for sending the messages and expressed being "ashamed" of his conduct, whilst maintaining he had done "nothing illegal" in what he described as exchanges between "consenting adults." Nevertheless, Jenas now maintains departing the BBC has provided him with a newfound liberty to pursue alternative media ventures - including collaborations with gambling firms, reports the Mirror. He told the Reece Mennie podcast: "Having worked in the media for the last 10 years, and having been through what I've been through for the last year, [it's] been a really difficult moment for myself and my family. Article continues below "With what happened, which I have always held up my hand and taken full responsibility for, that's very important to do. Jenas was a prominent host on The One Show (Image: BBC) "You go through a lot of different emotions of anger and blame, but eventually you realise, 'Take responsibility, Jermaine, and you'll be able to move forward. It's easy to blame everybody else.'" From this realisation, Jenas said he managed to transform the setback of losing his position into the opportunity to forge fresh prospects. He added: "Because of their ability to take away my life, in terms of every deal I had, the jobs that I had at that particular time, I said that is never happening to me again. Jenas is now working with other companies, including those who operate in the gambling space (Image: PA) Article continues below "So I've recently set up my own production company. My agency that I had at the time were not that supportive of it. "This is not their fault, but when you're in this kind of media bubble where you work for the BBC, there are so many walls in terms of what they want you to do and what you're not allowed to do. Betting companies want to work with me because I'm in football. "The BBC hate that because of the issues to do with gambling in general, so they block all of that. So there were a lot of blocks on one side and football was bringing me some stuff, but the reality is that it all got wiped out. It all got taken away."

What Are The Best A24 Films? The 15 most critically-acclaimed movies from the indie film company
Established in 2012 by Daniel Katz, David Fenkel and John Hodges, indie film company A24's first involvement in the industry was distributing the films 'A Glimpse Inside The Mind of Charles Swan III' and ' Spring Breakers '. They made a name for themselves by snapping up the rights for the likes of 'Room', ' Ex Machina ' and 'The Witch'. Now, the name A24 has the kind of brand recognistion that many actors and directors would envy, culminating in their domination of the Oscars in 2023, when 'Everything Everywhere All At Once' won seven Academy Awards, including five of the 'big six'. Known for elevated horrors like ' Hereditory ' and ' Midsommar ', their latest entry in the canon is in cinemas at the moment - 'Bring Her Back'. It's the second film from YouTubers Danny and Michael Philippou, who were responsible for A24 hit 'Talk to Me' in 2022. The film has been well received critically, with review aggreggator Rotten Tomatoes showing 89 per cent of critics enjoyed it. But, such is the success of A24, it means that it's only the 66th best film they've been involved in according to the Tomatometer. Here are the top 15. 1 . On Becoming a Guineau Fowl (2024) The highest ranked A24 film on Rotten Tomatoes - with a perfect 100 per cent rating - is 'On Becoming a Guineau Fowl'. Directed by Rungano Nyoni and starring Susan Chardy, it tells the story of a woman who finds the dead body of her uncle in on a road in the middle of the night. His funeral is the catalyst for the discovery of secrets relating to her middle-class Zambian family. | Contributed Photo Sales 2 . Lady Bird (2017) Before Greta Gerwig achieved global fame and acclaim with Barbie, her directorial debut delighted audiences and critics alike. 2017's Lady Bird is a much-loved coming-of-age comedy drama starring Saoirse Ronan and has a near-perfect 99 per cent rating. | Contributed Photo Sales 3 . Eighth Grade (2018) Former standup comedian and YouTube star Bo Burnham proved he was an equally brilliant film director with 'Eighth Grade', which also achieves an impressive 99 per cent Rotten Tomatoes rating. Newcomer Elsie Fisher plays a 13-year-old trying to get to the end of the titular school year. | Contributed Photo Sales 4 . Moonlight (2016) Winner of the Academy Award for Best Picture (after La La Land was mistakenly announced), Barry Jenkins' drama looks at three important chapters in the life of a young black man growing up in Miami. Starring Mahershala Ali it has an impressive 98 per cent positive reviews. | Contributed Photo Sales Related topics: Film
