Damiano David on life after Eurovision: ‘An apology would be nice'
I'm sort of joking. I know he has listening events with fans and journalists for his debut solo album, Funny Little Fears, after our interview. It would be a special kind of diva behaviour to abandon that for some papal devotion. But Leo XIV is giving his first Sunday address at the same time as our interview, just two miles to the west of the hotel balcony where we're sitting in Rome. Plus, Harry Styles was spotted in St Peter's Square last week

Lydia Bright shows off her toned curves in a plunging black swimsuit as she reveals she works hard on her body 'so one day it will be able to make more beautiful babies'
Lydia Bright sent temperatures soaring as she posed in a very busty swimsuit for a new Instagram clip. The former TOWIE star, 34, proudly flaunted her toned curves in the plunging dark piece, adding chic vintage shades. The TV personality, who was captured inside a stunning beach cave during her Italian holiday, credited 'balance and hard work' for her 'strong and youthful body' in the candid post. She began writing: 'La Dolce Vita Posting the vid, just because I felt cute 'Life, work and temptation gets in the way at times. 'But I do try my best to keep the balance and I work hard to keep my body strong and youthful for me, for my little Loretta and for the dream that one day it will be able to make more beautiful babies ☁️ So until the timing's right, I'll just keep running :D 'Ps. The SPF application could have been better ✌️,' Lydia joked. The former TOWIE star previously said she dreams of having four children and having the same 'busy and chaotic household' she did as a child - with three biological siblings, two adopted siblings and numerous foster brothers and sisters. Lydia shares her daughter Loretta with her ex-boyfriend, garage owner Lee Cronin, who she met in 2017 and had an on-off relationship with for three years. The parents tried to make the relationship work after finding out Lydia was pregnant but eventually called it quits in 2020 after Loretta was born. Her new Instagram clip comes after the star candidly discussed her nan's worsening dementia as she recalled the first time she forgot who she was in a heartbreaking update earlier this month. She told of how she 'crumbles' on the days that her nan doesn't remember who she is as she experiences her 'decline began to accelerate.' Sharing a post to Instagram, Lydia uploaded a video of her nan with her daughter Loretta, five, walking hand-in-hand. However, sadly, she went on to revealed her nan 'doesn't know who Loretta is anymore and said the heartbreak she is dealing with has become 'overwhelming.' She wrote: I'll never forget the first time I went to see my nan and she didn't know who I was. It was devastating and my heart broke in a way I can't explain. This year has been incredibly hard for me and my family with my Nan's health. Nan's dementia has been slowly progressing over the past five years, but at the start of this year her decline began to accelerate.' Lydia continued: 'My nan has always been one of the most important people in my life. I spent so many of my childhood weekends at my grandparents house and my first home was on the same road as hers meaning we were neighbours for over a decade. Lydia Bright candidly discussed her nan's worsening Dementia as she recalled the first time she forgot who she was in a heartbreaking update (Lydia's nan with her daughter Loretta) 'She's always been my best friend and I'm so like her in my ways, obsessed with perfection, cleanliness and self care. The family always joke that I'm the favourite out of her 12 grandchildren, our bond is magical and she's had such a huge impact on my life. 'Earlier this year, we had to make the heartbreaking decision to move her into a care home. 'Even with family staying in her flat, carers visiting daily and everyone rallying around to spend time with her, it still wasn't enough. She now needs 24-hour care because even one hour alone was too risky. 'We knew it was the right thing to do, but the guilt was overwhelming. Some weeks are easier than others, she doesn't know who Loretta is anymore but most of the time she still remembers me and when she does, her whole face lights up and she cries. 'But I get such bad anxiety every week before visiting because on the days she doesn't know me I crumble. The tears take over, I have to leave before I upset her or make her feel confused and the sadness becomes so consuming. 'The hardest moments are when she asks why she can't think properly or what's happening to her and I can't bring myself to tell her how unwell she really is. 'I have cried a lot about Nan this year, I don't always know how to help that and I pray she isn't suffering too much. I'm sharing this because over the weekend it felt overwhelming.' Lydia concluded: 'I don't want to pretend that life is always perfect on here, behind my Instagram feed sometimes like many people I am quietly dealing with heartbreak. Life isn't always perfect.'

Lily Collins looks effortlessly chic in a leggy black and white polka dot dress as she continues filming Emily In Paris season five in Venice
Lily Collins looked chic as she was spotted filming in Italy on Tuesday for series five of Emily In Paris. The American actress, 36, wore an elegant black and white polka dot dress that showed off her toned legs. She plays fictional character Emily Cooper in the light-hearted Netflix series, which is soon to be releasing another series partly set in Venice where production is now taking place. The mother-of-one added to her filming look with a pair of chunky black leather boots and wore dangly silver earrings. She wore her brunette tresses slicked back and opted for a dark red lip to complete her look. The star carried a large water bottle with her between takes and was seen chatting to crew and on her phone as she took breaks from the scenes. Paris remains a central location for the show, but for this season filming has also taken place in Italy, specifically in Rome and Venice. Emily was left with a decision at the end of series four, as she was offered the position of the lead of the Italian Agence Grateau office. Despite falling in love with Paris and the agency, Emily admitted she was tempted by a new life - with a new man - in Rome. Fans will remember Emily and Gabriel's (Lucas Bravo) romance fell apart after they finally tried to make a go of their relationship after he broke off his relationship with Camille. Following a fake pregnancy scandal, Camille revealed she wasn't actually expecting and Emily and Gabriel tried to work out a romantic future. However, it wasn't meant to be for the star-crossed lovers who were unable to work out their differences and she was pushed into the arms of Marcello, after they met on the slopes of Megève, when she was abandoned at the top of a slope by Gabriel. They crossed paths again at a polo match in Paris and they enjoyed a night out together in the city, which lasted until the following morning when he asked her to come and visit him in Rome. The mother-of-one added to her filming look with a pair of chunky black leather boots and wore dangly silver earrings Paris remains a central location for the show, but for this season filming has also taken place in Italy, specifically in Rome and Venice Emily followed her heart and travelled to meet Marcello, where she was also tasked with acquiring his family's business by her boss Sylvie. However, Emily was reluctant to mix business with pleasure. The pair hit a stumbling block when he learned of her plans to try and secure a professional relationship with his family, who owned a luxury cashmere company, but they eventually managed to iron their issues out. At this point, Gabriel had a candid conversation with Alfie (Lucien Laviscount), who urged him to try and win Emily back, despite previously being romantically involved with her himself. But despite dashing to Rome with the hope of reuniting, Emily was nowhere to be seen as she enjoyed her romantic day out with Marcello. The series is expected to air towards the end of this year, but one of the main characters has revealed they won't be returning. Camille Razat, 31, who plays Camille in the romantic comedy-drama - took to Instagram to reveal the shocking news with an emotional goodbye post after fans fumed at bosses for 'destroying the character'. Camille has played Emily's pal and love rival in the show since the programme hit the streaming service back in 2020. Now, after five years on our screens as Camille, the actress is ready to move on.

Lily James looks gorgeous in a pink striped bikini as she poses on a boat during sun-soaked summer trip
She is currently living it up on her Euro summer. And Lily James shared another look at her lavish trip on Tuesday as she posted a stylish snap posing on a yacht. The Mamma Mia actress, 36, looked stunning in a striped pink and red strappy bikini which she wore with a sheer white linen skirt. Another snap from her trip saw her putting on a busty display in a plunging white summer dress as she soaked up the sun. Taking to her Instagram Story this week she also shared snaps enjoying some delicious local pasta and exploring the sights. Though Lily didn't tag her location in her holiday posts the wine she was drinking was from Tuscany which suggests she may be enjoying her August in Italy. The posts comes after last week Lily lifted the lid on her love life in a very sexy shoot for Who What Wear magazine. While the leggy star kept tight lipped if she is dating anyone currently, she did disclose she isn't a fan of dating apps. In the candid interview, the Hollywood actress - who tries to keep her relationships under wraps - admitted she feels 'self-conscious' to go on dating apps. She said: 'I was always in relationships when the [dating] apps started. Now, I just don't know. I feel a bit self-conscious. 'I try to stay really private, as private as I can. To be on a dating app feels a bit counterintuitive to that desire.' Lily also shared her fears for getting older, admitting her biggest change in her thirties has been realising 'life is finite'. She added: 'I only want to do stuff that I really care about. 'I want to spend time with the people I love. I want to make the most of this wild and crazy life, so I only want to work on stuff that I really love. That's changed.' Though Lily didn't tag her location in her holiday posts the wine she was drinking was from Tuscany which suggests she may be enjoying her August in Italy The Tom & Pammy star was last romantically linked to musician Michael Shuman in late 2023. It came after Lily hit back at Instagram moderators at the start of last week after one of her posts was removed by the social media platform for breaching community guidelines. The British actress has been on location in the Canadian wilderness while filming Harmonia, a forthcoming thriller from director Guy Nattiv. But she caught the eye of Instagram moderators after sharing an array of photos from the shoot, including one in which she and her co-stars appear to be completely naked. The blurred shot - posted to celebrate the film's completion - captures Lily and five unidentified fellow actresses holding hands as they form a tight circle and gaze up at the sky, as if in worship. Scheduled for release in 2026, Harmonia is inspired by the real life experiences of Nattiv's own grandmother and her connection to a bizarre cult in the 1980s. The new film also features Carrie Coon, formerly of The White Lotus, The Last Of Us star Bella Ramsey, and Odessa Young, who also features alongside Jeremy Allen White in forthcoming Bruce Springsteen biopic Deliver Me From Nowhere. But Lily' apparent celebration of the shoot was cut short by Instagram, who removed the post in accordance with community guidelines regarding online nudity. Her trip comes after Lily hit back at Instagram last week after one of her posts was removed by the social media platform for breaching community guidelines Evidently unhappy with the decision, she later posted: 'Instagram you deleted my last post … why…' Instagram is yet to respond publicly, and the post remains notably absent from her social media platform.
