Marvel star Florence Pugh has made a surprise appearance at a London pub where she poured pints alongside singer Yungblud.
The 29-year-old appeared at The Devonshire in Piccadilly on Friday, where she was seen working behind the bar and chatting with customers, after starring in a music video for the singer's Zombie single.

Pugh was cheered after pouring a perfect pint of Guinness before asking 'whose is this?', and later remarking 'I'm sorry' after pouring a less impressive drink.
In another clip, she can be seen learning to pour pints with a member of staff, describing her own first attempt as 'a bit lumpy'.
It comes after Yungblud, whose real name is Dominic Harrison, turned up at Camden's Hawley Arms to put in a shift behind the bar earlier this year.
The 27-year-old released his music video for Zombie, taken from his forthcoming fourth studio album, Idols, on Friday, with the album due for release on June 20th.

Oscar-winner Pugh stars in the video as a health worker on the brink, who is dealing with grief and exhaustion, wearing a set of angel wings.
Speaking about the video, Yungblud said: 'The song was written initially about my grandmother going through serious injury and trauma, leading her to become a different person to who she was before.
'It's about the feeling of deterioration and ugliness; shutting out the world and the people we love out of the fear of becoming a burden or an embarrassment.
'We all want someone or something to comfort us no matter how we are right now or who we become in the future. But it's f****** scary.'

Pugh most recently starred in Marvel's Thunderbolts, which was released earlier this year, and sees the British star play Yelena Belova.

She is also known for her roles in Little Women (2019), Don't Worry Darling (2022), and Dune: Part Two (2024), and previously appeared in Rachel Chinouriri's music video for Never Need Me.
Yungblud has had two number one albums in the UK chart with Weird!, in 2020, and his self-titled album in 2022.
Earlier in the year, he received the disruptor of the year award at the Nordoff And Robbins Northern Music Awards, held in Liverpool.

BBC Archive: Doctor Who: The Legend of Omega

As season two of Doctor Who draws to a close and the Doctor once again faces not just the Rani, but Omega too, BBC Archives takes a look back at the creation of the character of Omega and his previous encounters with the Doctor. "Omega? But that's impossible. Omega was destroyed." The Doctor (1973) Omega first appeared in the 1973 story The Three Doctors – the first multi-Doctor story in the Whoniverse. The character took a while to develop, as can be seen in these letters from Doctor Who script editor Terrence Dicks to story writers Bob Baker and Dave Martin. This first letter shows that the character of Omega (at this stage named 'Ohm') and the setting of the anti-matter universe he lives in were established early on in the story writing process. As plans for the story progressed, Terrence Dicks continued to correspond with writers Bob Baker and Dave Martin. He suggests that they could create three different aspects of Ohm "to match the three Doctors ", although "the most evil Ohm would finally gain the upper hand". By the time The Three Doctors was seen on screen Ohm had become Omega, the powerful temporal engineer of Time Lord mythology. No wonder the Rani would seek him out for her plans. "Without me, there would be no time travel" Omega (1973) The imposing figure of Omega was originally played by statuesque actor Stephen Thorne. Stephen had previously appeared in the Doctor Who story The Dæmons as the equally towering Azal. He was an actor known for his great voice as well as his height, and could be often heard on BBC radio in addition to his appearances on television. The character of Omega returned to Doctor Who in the 1983 story Arc of Infinity, now played by Ian Collier, where he still hoped to escape the anti-matter universe. In Arc of Infinity Omega tried to use Time Lord technology to give himself a new physical form, copying that of the Doctor, and so was briefly also played by Peter Davison. "Things could have been different. Power, and the greatness of Omega, could have been yours." Omega (1983) Omega returned to Doctor Who in The Reality War having become the god the Time Lord legends created. This time there was no mask wearing actor inside a suit, but the whole character was created by CGI. But the Doctor was still able to force him to remain trapped in the Underverse, maybe to meet again some day, because legends never really die.

Drug maker Indivior to delist its shares from London Stock Exchange

Indivior, a pharmaceutical firm specializing in opioid addiction treatments, plans to delist from the London Stock Exchange (LSE) on July 25, following its primary listing move to the US's Nasdaq index last year. The company cites reduced costs and complexity, along with the fact that over 80% of its revenue is generated in the US, as reasons for the delisting. Indivior also noted that liquidity on the Nasdaq now significantly surpasses that of the LSE, with a greater level of trading activity. Indivior 's chairman, David Wheadon, stated that a single primary listing on Nasdaq best reflects the profile of Indivior 's business. Despite Indivior 's exit, the LSE welcomes Valterra Platinum, Anglo American's platinum spin-off, after becoming independent from the mining giant.
