Great news for telly lovers, film fanatics – and yes, even Rishi Sunak, as Sky's just dropped its most affordable and fuss-free TV yet.
The new Sky Glass Air is a sleek 4K smart TV that streams everything over Wi-Fi, no dish or box needed, and it starts from just £6 a month.
Sky Glass Air is a smart, stylish TV that streams everything over Wi-Fi. That means no satellite dish, no box, and no faff. Better yet? It's designed to make getting Sky easier than ever, especially if you're in a flat, renting, or just want Sky in another room without the hassle.
With prices starting from just £6 a month for the TV itself, and if you're new to Sky, you can get the full package – including Sky TV, Netflix and discovery+ – from £21 a month.
If you're still 'umming' and 'ahhhh-ing' about the investment? It's actually really affordable way to get a proper smart TV setup, plus with loads of great content built in, and absolutely zero fuss.
The picture quality is brilliant, thanks to its 4K HDR screen with Quantum Dot tech. Everything looks sharp, colourful and full of life, whether you're watching a gritty drama or a big football match. The sound's great too, with Dolby Audio built in, so you don't need extra speakers to get that cinema feel.
What makes it even smarter is the software it runs on – Sky OS. It brings together all your favourite apps and channels in one place, and it learns what you like to watch so it can suggest new shows you might enjoy. You can save your favourites in a Playlist and pick up where you left off with Continue Watching, no matter which app or channel it was on.
You can even control it with your voice. Just say 'Hello Sky…' and you can turn it on, search for shows, change the volume and more – all without lifting a finger.
If you want even more channels, you can upgrade to Sky Ultimate TV for an extra £7 a month, which gives you access to loads more like Sky Max, Sky Comedy, Sky Documentaries and more. And if you prefer flexibility, there's a rolling monthly option too, so you're not tied in.
Naturally Sky Glass Air looks the part too. It comes in three sizes – 43', 55' and 65' – and three lovely colours: Sea Green, Carbon Grey, and Cotton White. It's slim, modern, and fits in beautifully with any room. You don't need any tools to set it up either – just pop it on the stand that comes in the box or mount it on the wall if that's more your vibe. More Trending
If you're feeling flush and fancy skipping the monthly payments, you can buy Sky Glass Air outright – with prices set at £309 for the 43', £509 for the 55', and £649 for the 65'. Or, if you'd rather spread the cost, there's a 24-month interest-free option starting from just £12 a month.
Sky Glass Air is part of a growing family of Sky products, alongside Sky Glass Gen 2 and Sky Stream. Whether you want the ultimate home cinema setup or just a second screen for the bedroom, there's now a Sky option to suit every room and every budget.
You can buy Sky Glass Air from June 10 at Sky.com, in Sky stores, or through Currys.co.uk. It'll also be available in Currys shops from June 18.

Michelle Keegan lands six-figure deal in first major job since having baby Palma
Just three months after giving birth to her first child with husband Mark Wright, Michelle Keegan has landed a huge deal worth six-figures, it has been reported Michelle Keegan has signed a six-figure advertising deal just three months after becoming a new mum. The former Coronation Street star has been embracing life as a first-time mum since welcoming baby Palma Elizabeth Wright into the world on March 6. Michelle and Mark Wright have been enjoying their time as new parents over the last three months. Fans have been given a glimpse into their first holiday abroad as a family of three last month as Michelle and Mark, both 38, headed to Spain with two-month-old Palma. Michelle revealed to her followers that Palma has been given the nickname Princess P, whilst confirming that it was their first holiday. She wrote in the caption of her post: "Princess P's first family holiday." But it seems it is back to business for Michelle who has just signed a deal to become the new face of Sky. She is set to film a series of promo clips — which will be shown around the globe — with fellow British actor, Luther star Idris Elba. She landed the deal after becoming a major player for Sky, with her comedy-drama Brassic one of the most popular series to air on the platform. A source told The Sun: 'Michelle has really been enjoying maternity leave with Palma, but she'll be back to work soon to film these new adverts for Sky. She has signed a six-figure deal for the job and is thrilled to have been chosen to appear alongside Idris, who has been their 'face'. 'Brassic is ending after the seventh series and Michelle is keen to still be a part of the Sky brand. Landing this ad is huge for Michelle, as she's fast becoming a brand in her own right. Everything she touches seems to turn to gold.' Michelle Keegan is now a household name after appearing in some of Britain's favourite TV shows including Our Girl and Coronation Street. However, the star went from working at a make-up counter when she finished school to a successful actress with what seems like a dream life. The Stockport star didn't have plans when she first left school and found herself working at Selfridges in the Trafford Centre on a make-up counter and at Manchester Airport as a check-in agent. But she seems to have found her feet when it comes to success in the wolrd of TV as she secured first acting appearance on Coronation Street when she was offered the role of Tina McIntyre after just her second audition as an actress. The talented actress beat 900 other people to the role on the soap and just two weeks later she stepped onto the cobbles and began her career. TV star Michelle Keegan may be earning mega money now but she will have to put in the overtime if she want to catch up with her husband Mark Wright. It was reported two years ago that Mark is now worth almost £14million as he continues to grow his incredible property empire. With an estimated combined net worth of around £20m, it's no wonder the pair splashed the cash on their dream home three years ago.

Michelle Keegan 'signs six-figure deal to become new face of Sky' in her first job since welcoming baby daughter Palma with Mark Wright
Michelle Keegan has reportedly signed a six-figure advertising deal to become the new face of Sky. The deal is the 38-year-old actress' first major job since she gave birth to her daughter Palma - who she shares with Mark Wright - in March. Michelle, who found fame as Tina McIntyre on Coronation Street in 2007, is set to film a series of promo clips with fellow British actor Idris Elba, who already appears as the 'face'. A source told The Sun: 'Michelle has really been enjoying maternity leave with Palma, but she'll be back to work soon to film these new adverts for Sky. ' Brassic is ending after the seventh series and Michelle is keen to still be a part of the Sky brand.

'Landing this ad is huge for Michelle, as she's fast becoming a brand in her own right. 'Everything she touches seems to turn to gold.' After leaving ITV soap Corrie in 2014, Michelle's career really took off, with hits such as BBC military drama Our Girl, Sky's Brassic andbBBC's Australian drama Ten Pound Poms. Last year, she had the starring role as Maya Stern in Netflix's Harlan Coben thriller Fool Me Once - which racked up more than 100 million views globally. MailOnline has contacted Michelle's representatives for comment. It comes after Mark revealed what his 'perfect' Father's Day will look like three months after welcoming his daughter Palma with wife Michelle. Posting content for Marks and Spencer ahead of Sunday, the brand ambassador detailed what he hopes will be served up to eat on the special day. 'I've only been a dad for three months, but this is what the perfect Father's Day looks like for me,' he told viewers. 'For breakfast, an unreal spread of fresh berries and croissants, pancakes and even waffles. With maple syrup, my favourite. Just like being at a five star hotel. 'For lunch imagine being spoilt with a best ever burger. That's exceptional.' The star also enjoyed a delicious hotdog made with one of the M&S Posh dog sausages. Moving onto the sweet treats, Mark joked: 'It's my first father's day and that means I deserve a treat. 'Collin the caterpillar? Yes please.' He teased: 'They're for the kids, but my baby she's not on solids yet so I'll take care of it.' Shouting off camera he added: 'Stay on the milks Palma!' He continued: 'Who doesn't love a fruit and nut bar too? Father's Day is my cheat day.' New dad Mark has revealed what his 'perfect' Father's Day will look three months after welcoming daughter Palma Michelle and Mark have been enjoying their time as parents and have been sharing small glimpses of Palma on their social media accounts Michelle and Mark have been enjoying their time as parents and have been sharing small glimpses of Palma on their social media accounts. It's believed the couple chose the name Palma because of their strong links to Mallorca, which has been their go-to holiday destination for years and the setting for their pregnancy reveal photoshoot. The celebrity couple and their daughter Palma, three months, are currently at the swanky £300-a-night SO/ Sotogrande Spa & Golf Resort Hotel. And she gave her followers a glimpse into the lavish trip, while flaunting her sensational figure in a number of summer dresses. Michelle posed up a storm in a plunging brown dress. Gushing over the look, she wrote: 'One of my fave dresses from this collection, so simple but yet so effective. I'm obsessed with the gold shell detail.' She also showed off her svelte waist in a strapless yellow crochet number, which she described as: 'The perfect dress for summer nights or a special occasion.' Michelle explained that the mint outfit was in fact a co-ord, telling followers: 'This colour is a WOW! And the asymmetrical hemline is really flattering. (It's a skirt and top so you have to buy separate ladies) Oh, and it's currently in the SALE!' The sun-soaked getaway is baby daughter Palma's first holiday abroad and Michelle marked the occasion with a holiday post on Thursday, revealing the little girl's sweet nickname. The former Coronation Street star captioned the post: 'Princess P's first family holiday'. The stunner, who celebrated her birthday earlier this week, looked sensational in a skimpy black bikini as she gazed adoringly at the little one while shielding from the sun beneath an umbrella. Michelle later slipped into a crochet dress while teasing a glimpse of her swimwear beneath. Beaming for the camera Michelle wore shades and a straw hat as she pushed Palma in her pram. Earlier in the week, doting parents Michelle and Mark were spotted out with their daughter in Marbella as they celebrated the actress' birthday. Michelle was cradling her little girl, three months, in her arms as they strolled along together - looking every inch the picture perfect family. The couple welcomed their first child together on March 6 and then announced the news on their respective Instagram pages a week later. Michelle looked lovely in a white lace co-ord from her Very collection, which included a white applique shirt and a pair of matching shorts. She boosted her frame with flip flop style heels and accessorised with gold hoop earrings, wearing her brunette hair in a low ponytail. Her daughter was wearing a sweet pale yellow two-piece.

Ingenious: the Globe's Romeo & Juliet reviewed
Cul-de-Sac feels like an ersatz sitcom of a kind that's increasingly common on the fringe. Audiences are eager to see an unpretentious domestic comedy set in a kitchen or a sitting-room where the characters gossip, argue, fall in love, break up and so on. TV broadcasters can't produce this sort of vernacular entertainment and they treat audiences as atomised members of racial ghettos or social tribes. And they assume that every viewer is an irascible brat who can't bear to hear uncensored language without having a tantrum. The result is that TV comedy often feels like appeasement rather than entertainment. Theatre producers are keen to fill the gap, and the latest effort by writer-director David Shopland declares its ambitions in its title. Cul-de-Sac is set on a housing estate where Frank and Ruth are busy destroying their marriage. Ruth lounges on the sofa all day drinking sherry and mourning the loss of her career as a therapist. Frank is a depressed salaryman who rants and raves obsessively about a mysterious Mercedes parked by his kerb. The couple make friends with a timid bisexual neighbour, Simon, whose wife has just run off with his brother. More characters arrive. Marie is a beautiful, nerdy evangelical who recruits worshippers for her husband's church by knocking on strangers' doors. Her latest disciple, Hamza, is a Kurdish businessman who owns the Mercedes that blocks Frank's drive. Thus the messy social circle is complete. The characters are quirky, likeable and easy to relate to. And the show is full of awkward comic moments and latent sexual conflict. The best character, Simon, is perhaps too obviously based on Alan Bennett. He has a squashed blond hairdo and geeky black-rimmed glasses, and he speaks in a lugubrious, wheedling Yorkshire accent. The show is good fun for 90 minutes but after the interval, disaster strikes. The script morphs into an anguished memory play and the characters become self-pitying bores. They take it in turns to describe the most grisly moment of their lives. Ruth explains the crisis that terminated her therapy career. Marie reveals the difficult truth about her missionary work. The men recount tales of loss and bereavement caused by lethal explosions and murderous terrorist attacks. These distressing back-stories have no shape or dramatic direction and the show becomes an interminable group-therapy session. At the climax, a suitcase is opened to reveal a blood-stained item of clothing, and the script delivers 'messages' about the virtues of tolerance. We're warned not to indulge in xenophobia or to lay blame on a particular faith for the crimes of a few extremists. In other words, it feels like a TV show. Perhaps Netflix will pick it up. At the Globe, Sean Holmes offers an ingenious new take on Romeo and Juliet. His inspiration? Set the show in the Wild West. It makes sense, just about, to plonk the story into a frontier town where two murderous families are locked in a deadly feud. The Victorian age was a time of stylish and dignified fashions so the show looks terrific. The women swish around in sumptuous full-length gowns while the men sport frockcoats, hip-hugging trousers and chic leather boots. The cowboy hats are a bit of a problem. Thesps hate wearing headgear that conceals their faces, and in this production the actors wear their hats shoved well back on their heads so that their handsome mugs can be seen at all times. Perhaps the hats could be ditched altogether. This feels like a TV show. Perhaps Netflix will pick it up Most of the cast are pretty good, some are exceptional. Michael Elcock's Mercutio is a mischievous, charming street hustler who turns the tricky Queen Mab monologue into a tour de force by pretending that it's the most hilarious joke he's ever heard. (On the page, the speech reads like a bad dream about a spider improvised by a stoned poet.) Elcock's playful, fleet-footed Mercutio makes Romeo seem like an angry dullard by comparison, but that's always a risk with this play. At least Rawaed Asde (Romeo) has the dreamy good looks of a movie star. His Juliet (Lola Shalam) plays the part as a cheery Essex blonde with a heart of steel. When her father threatens to force her out of the house, he looks more scared than she does. Jamie Rose-Monk's Nurse is too young to perform the role as a venerable lady's maid and she plays it like Juliet's best mate from school. Dharmesh Patel works wonders with the small role of Peter by adding balletic little hand gestures and other physical absurdities. None of his play-acting is in the script but it comes across beautifully in the festive, carefree atmosphere of the Globe. This is an object lesson in how to reconceptualise Shakespeare. The idea of the Wild West is lightly handled and it offers witty suggestions rather than imposing ugly restrictions.
