‘Building the Band' Trailer: Netflix Puts ‘Love Is Blind' Spin on Singing Competition Series
Netflix has released the trailer for 'Building the Band,' a new reality competition show that aims to combine up-and-coming vocalists into the ultimate supergroup before the artists ever meet face-to-face.
According to the show's official logline, ''Building the Band' brings together talented singers for a truly unique competition show where building the perfect band is all about chemistry. The singers are in complete control as they seek to form their very own bands in individual 'booths' without ever seeing each other. All they have to go on is musical compatibility, connection, chemistry and merit. What will happen when the bands finally meet, and looks, choreography, and style come into play? With incredible performances, compelling drama, and one big goal—to find the next great music band—the stage is set for an unforgettable experience.'

11 Fresh Ways To Wear White Nails This Summer
Summer is finally here and with it comes an inevitable surge of nail inspiration flooding our feeds. From pretty princess nails to playful beach manicures, there's an abundance of fresh trends emerging already, but there's always one shade that reappears every summer without fail: white. Timeless, clean and effortlessly cool, white nails are synonymous with summer and always look impeccable. This season, though, there's a twist: White nails are enjoying a soft-focus upgrade. Say goodbye to the stark, bright whites of the past; this summer's take is more about milky, sheer and chiffon-inspired whites. Think creamy undertones, hints of pink and nude and cloudy textures. The result is modern, elevated and made for sunshine season. Soap Shine View this post on Instagram A post shared by Melanie Graves (@overglowedit) At first glance, this practically perfect white manicure by nail content creator Melanie Graves looks clean and simple. But look again, and you'll spot a subtly pink, pearlescent hue that mirrors the iridescence of a sudsy bubble bath. Recreate it at home with Essie Gel Couture in Pre-Show Jitters,£10.99. Soft Seafoam View this post on Instagram A post shared by Saskia Fenwick (@saskiafenwick) Manicurist Saskia Fenwick has declared it 'seafoam season' with these elegantly pared-back nails. A popular choice among professional nail artists, Bio Sculpture's Seafoam, £15.50, is a gorgeous milky white that feels fresh and modern. Summer Croc View this post on Instagram A post shared by C H A N E L | The Glow Expert (@buymechanel) Animal print nails have been enjoying a comeback for 2025, and croc print is going to be a huge trend for summer. This look created by nail artist Anh Nguyen for digital creator @buymechanel is so fun. Beach Shimmer View this post on Instagram A post shared by pretty dainty by kristine (@prettydaintybykristine) Beach nails are a huge trend for summer and while lots of manicurists use an abundance of colours, textures and embellishments, this pearly shell manicure by @prettydaintybykristine proves it works just as well in monochrome. Bright White View this post on Instagram A post shared by Julia Diogo (@paintedbyjools) Proving it's a classic summer nail look for a reason, manicurist Julia Diogo uses a classic, bright white to create this bold colourblock manicure. Try OPI Nail Lacquer in Alpine Snow, £15.60, to recreate it at home. White On White French View this post on Instagram A post shared by 𝙎𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙡𝙚𝙩𝙝 (@ The humble French manicure is always reinventing itself and this summer sees manicurists like @ switching the classic pink-nude base for a milky white hue. Paired with crisp white tips it's an incredibly chic way to wear white nails for the season. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Carmelina (@hicarmelina) Flipping her classic iced French manicure on its head, bridal manicurist Carmelina pairs a pearlescent base with a micro strip of bright white colour at the base of the nail for an utterly cool manicure. Barely Beige View this post on Instagram A post shared by Paulina Juśkiewicz (@nailsbypaulin) If a stark white manicure isn't your thing, try seeking out warm beiges and soft chiffons for a more wearable, buttery manicure. Recreate this one by manicurist Paulina Juśkiewicz using Essie Nail Polish in Allure, £8.99. Half Moon View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jaz (@paintbyjaz) Strictly speaking, this pretty half-moon manicure by Jaz does use a soft pink base, but it's the striking linen-coloured accents at the tip and base of the nail that make this a decidedly modern take on a white manicure. Vanilla Chrome View this post on Instagram A post shared by 𝗥𝗛𝗜𝗔𝗡𝗡𝗔 | 𝗡𝗔𝗜𝗟 𝗔𝗥𝗧𝗜𝗦𝗧 (@beautybyrhianna_j) This creamy combination by nail artist Rhianna was created using The Gel Bottle's delicious off-white, Piña Colada, finished with a white chrome top coat. While you'll get the best results in a salon for this, World's Your Oyster Babe, £11, captures a similar oyster iridescent sheen. White Blooms View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jadyn | Ontario Nail Tech & Artist 🌿 (@_thejadeaesthetic) Floral nail art is always a popular choice for spring and summer, and blooming gel in particular has really taken off this year. This design by nail artist Jadyn looks so pretty thanks to the soft white hue and touches of gold shimmer.

Shameless fans buzzing as East Lancashire star make hilarious TikTok debut
Shameless fans are celebrating after one of the show's most iconic stars, Alice Barry, made her hilarious debut on TikTok. The Burnley actress is known for playing Lillian Tyler, a fan-favourite character who owned a brothel on Shameless' Chatsworth estate. Alice's first video has, at the time of writing, amassed more than 500,000 views. In it, she gets into the character of Lillian as she gets 'set up on TikTok'. In the video the former St Mary Magdalene's RC Primary School pupil said: 'TikTok!? We aren't going to get any money out of TikTok. I thought it was OnlyFans.' As well as skits, she has also answered questions left by fans. One TikTok user asked her how she landed the Shameless job. Alice, who still lives in Burnley, said: 'When I went for the audition, it was for a nun. We did the audition and it went well. 'Paul Abbott [creator of Shameless] said 'you were very good but you haven't got the part... but I would like you to come in on Shameless as Lillian, I think you'd be alright'.' Alice Barry (Image: TikTok/@alicebarryofficial) Speaking to the Lancashire Telegraph, Alice said she was surprised that her TikTok account amassed more than 41,000 followers. She said: 'I had been asked to join TikTok for a long while now and I said no – eventually I gave in and said I would give it a go. 'I didn't realise that I now have more than 41,000 followers I did not expect to get that many followers. 'All of the comments have been so nice, telling me I haven't changed one bit [since starring in Shameless]. Another said I am the Queen of TikTok and Queen of Shameless. 'I can easily get back into the character of Lillian at any moment.' Alice, a former Coal Clough Secondary School pupil, said it's great that so many people still love the Channel 4 show despite ending in 2013, adding that it may have garnered a younger fanbase since being added to Netflix. Alice, who grew up in Haslam Street in Gannow Top, has promised fans more Shameless content and skits in the future. She said: 'It is still on and people are still watching it on Netflix. It's great that the show still has such a strong fan base. 'Wherever I go people still recognise me. If I go for a night out, people still want photographs, which I don't mind. 'I was on Shameless for all of those years, and it was a really good experience.' As well as TikTok, Alice has also launched a Cameo page, where fans can request personalised video messages. Alice, who is in her 70s, said she also has meet and greets planned, including one on June 28 at The Heartbeat Vehicle Rally in Goathland. She said: 'I already have four gigs on Cameo [and I think that is because of] TikTok – they keep coming in.'
