Jamie Dornan fans 'screaming' and 'drooling' as he strips off in sexy new advert
Jamie Dornan has delighted his adoring fans by stripping off and posing topless for his latest job following his rise to astronomical fame as Christian Gray.
The Irish actor, 43, has combined his two passions for his latest campaign, Diet Coke and sea-swimming. The Tourist star is the new face of Diet Coke's This Is My Taste campaign and stars in the cheeky advert where he strips off to unveil his impressive muscles and gym-honed body.
Sporting a pair of silver This Is My Taste swim trunks, Jamie plunges into chilly open water before taking a sip of his beloved Diet Coke can. It comes after Jamie was all smiles as he partied with Irish rap trio Kneecap at Glastonbury earlier this summer.
Returning as Diet Coke's ambassador after last year's debut, the Belfast-born actor has said that he's all about celebrating individuality and has encouraged others to embrace their own tastes boldly.
Of the new campaign, Jamie says: "Cold-water swimming is a passion that's become very important to me, it's my way of finding a moment for myself and I try to do it as often as I can.
"I hope that giving a peak behind the scenes of my lesser-known passion, inspires others to take a moment for themselves, crack open an ice-cold Diet Coke, and explore their own personal tastes.'
Following the release of the steamy new advert, Jamie's hot and bothered fans flocked to social media to gush over the actor. One quipped: "This entire Jamie Dornan and Diet Coke partnership was made specifically for me."
"Jamie Dornan looks ravishing for the latest Diet Coke campaign," another echoed. While someone else enthused: "Didn't think it was actually possible but Jamie Dornan gets hotter and hotter with every single day that passes. This man is what all women want."
"SCREAMING!!!! Jamie Dornan is literally carved from the Gods above. I'm drooling," someone else gushed.
While Jamie may have a love for Diet Coke, in the past, he previously admitted that he 'manhandled' someone else's drink by spitting in a pint after a rude customer clicked their fingers at him.
The actor who is best known for roles including Christian Grey in the 50 Shades of Grey film franchise and The Fall had a varied career before finding fame.
Last year, Jamie opened up about his time working behind the bar of a swanky pub in London's Knightsbridge, which is home to some of the world's richest people.
Jamie, however, found himself on the receiving end of abuse from some regular punters, with one man in particular frequently pushing his buttons. In a new interview, he opened up about one incident which saw him hit back at the bloke, unbeknownst to him.
In his 20s, Jamie found himself behind the bar of Tattersall Tavern, opposite Harrods before discovering global fame. "There was a guy who used to come in," he said.
He went on to describe the man as having "horrible, floppy, blonde curtains". "Honestly, I can close my eyes now and I can picture this p***k's face," he added.
Speaking to Sean Evans on his Hot Ones series, Jamie went on to say: "He used to come in and click his fingers at me. Listen, I'm about to admit something I'm ashamed of, but a couple times, I spat in his drink.
"He always orders a gin and tonic, so you could sort of mix your spit in quite easily. I mean, that's what you get if you click your fingers at another human being. Sorry, I don't care. I just sat in glee while I watched him drink my saliva."
Despite his impressive award nominations, Jamie branded this his "proudest moment".

Edinburgh Fringe comedy reviews: Sophia Wren: Princess Melancholy Holly Spillar: Tall Child Liam Tulley: Baldilocks Grace Helbig; Let Me Get This Off My Chest A Hundred Per Cent

COMEDY Sophia Wren: Princess Melancholy ★★★★ Gilded Balloon at Appleton Tower (Venue 140) until 24 August Returning to the Fringe outwardly more robust than when she was last here, Sophia Wren offers a theatrically framed hour of lyrically and often hilariously filthy stand-up, delivered like an unstoppable stream of consciousness. With the persona of a cocktail party princess determined to have their say, despite the last drink having been poured and the gathering breaking up, the Irish comedian knows her mind and is not one to brook argument. Except that she's routinely visited by her oppressive inner thoughts, a diabolic red light flooding the room as her voice-over persecutes her with her most pressing insecurities, assuming the audience's contempt for her despite evidence to the contrary. Although a fairly recognisable and even clichéd stage device, the effect is still jarring, representing a marked contrast to Wren's jaded but otherwise wry, bawdy garrulousness. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Sophia Wren | Pic: contributed Despite being forthcoming about fellatio, heavy drinking and cosmetic enhancements, proffering her own experience as representative of modern Ireland, Wren is considerably skimpier on autobiographical detail, effusively open and yet still guarded. Offering a point-by-point analysis of the attractiveness of the Emerald Isle's leading actors, with conclusions on their ride-worthiness, she's got a keen eye for a casual hook-up and virtually no interest in revisiting past relationships. We belatedly discover that she's a mother but almost nothing else about her daughter, with the comic's inner self hammering her as a bad parent. She's breezily satirical about Ireland's evolution from the dysfunctional Catholicism of her 23-child grandmother's time, The Troubles and the historical tendency to dismiss women with catch-all 'hysteria' labelling. She's also got really funny quips about Conor McGregor, the rise of the Far Right and mindfulness techniques, with her external disassembling only finally subsiding to straightforwardly confess her agitated mental state. Disclosing her past issues and the abuse she's endured, it's a not unexpected kicker to an otherwise thoroughly enjoyable hour. JAY RICHARDSON COMEDY Holly Spillar: Tall Child ★★★★ Underbelly, Bristo Square (Venue 302) until 24 August Holly Spillar protects herself and entices the listener with her disclaimer that Tall Child is a work of fiction, with any resemblance to real individuals entirely in the spectator's mind. The singular musical comic arrived in London with dreams of making it in the arts. But as a working-class performer, she took a 'low pay, high stakes' role facilitating the artistic inclinations of a privileged toddler. Just who the euphemistically refereed to 'Future Landlord' and their parents are is kept shrouded in mystery. Yet their mega-wealth is attested to by the phalanx of armed bodyguards who stir if Spillar oversteps her closeness to the kid. The gilded cage existence of her former charge and that of her own upbringing are starkly contrasted, with the proto-comic's preternatural talent and early Messiah Complex informed by undiagnosed neurodiversity. Yet the rebellious Spillar just isn't cut out for the established production line of frustrated arts graduates-turned-arts teachers. With some of the wide-eyed, ethereal glamour and spookiness of Kate Bush, she sings ironically, echoing over her own looped beats, the chippy, do-it-yourself attitude of one struggling to establish themselves in their chosen field. As a dark, weirdly tall child of poverty and limited horizons, she was never destined to play Cosette in Les Misérables, with the grimy street urchin being the preserve of posh little blond girls. We're all in the gutter, wallowing in our own faeces she tunefully wails. Yet some, like Future Landlord, will be able to literally sell theirs' at a ridiculous price, even their nappy spilled daubing indulged. As densely and intricately layered as this show is, the tunes woven through with controlled elegance, Spillar's anger and resentment blaze in her eyes and lyrics. Still, she retains an abiding compassion for the child at the heart of the story. Rarely less than archly witty and appealingly odd, at times she's impassioned and hilarious. JAY RICHARDSON Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad COMEDY Liam Tulley: Baldilocks ★★★ Just the Tonic at The Mash House (Venue 288) until 24 August Deadpan and downbeat, Liam Tulley nevertheless consistently amuses with his bleak perspective and default misanthropy. Impassively, he despairs at the jobs he's had, his myriad health conditions and negotiating online dating as a bald man. A former care worker, who, fortunately, made a big mistake without consequences, but also grew accustomed to death, Tulley is not someone who radiates joie de vivre. Anxiety has led to a series of other, comically debilitating, self-perpetuating conditions for him that he sadly relates in depth, his knackered body conspiring against him and affording him a weary fatalism. When he tells you about signing up to dating apps, you already know he's a lamb to the slaughter of judgement. And so it proves, his feelings blithely crushed by human insensitivity and the brutal, Darwinian analysis of the algorithms. His material about intimate medical examinations never strays too far from the humiliating template laid down by countless middle-aged, male comics. Yet when he unexpectedly, finally, has some romantic success, snatching a score draw from defeat, he's on a more equal footing with his partner. And the relatable details of nature finding a way and a memorable, recurring visual image ensure that this solid debut ends surprisingly uplifting. JAY RICHARDSON COMEDY Joke Thieves ★★★ Laughing Horse @ the Three Sisters (Venue 272) until 24 August Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad This is another terrific comedy format from the mind of Wil Mars. Possibly most entertaining of all for serious comedy buffs and other comedians, but fun for all if cast correctly. It would be terrific on TV. The premise is that four comics do a very short set. Someone in the audience pairs them up and then those pairs swap sets and do each other's material. There are a dozen ways in which this is funny. Turns out Stephen Carlin's deadpan material is not really doable by anyone other than Stephen Carlin (and amiable Canadian Dylan Rhymer draws the short straw there), but Ollie Horne and Adam Green – although, I feel, not exactly sticking to the script - get big laughs out of each other's writing, frequently by adding ridicule and targetted sarcasm into an already funny script. It is also fascinating watching Carlin try to 'jolly up' to deliver Rhymer's gentle five minutes – heart shaped pizza is not Carlin's usual hunting ground. This is clever comedy jeopardy. And always a different cast, so the chances of a pairing made in heaven or hell is always different. KATE COPSTICK COMEDY Grace Helbig; Let Me Get This Off My Chest ★★★ Pleasance Dome (Venue 23) until 24 August Grace Helbig has been a content creator for 17 years. Just let that sink in. She was one of the first generation of internet idiots, putting her life online in bite sized bits. Making money from a new world that emerged just as she was coming of age. It means she's amazingly well placed to understand the effect of the addictive power of the algorithm, the dopamine chasing and the brain changing effect of addictive technology. But this is her cancer story, or to put it into her words her 'white woman healing journey'. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Grace is relatively new to stand up but she's been an entertainer for a long time and she's full of verbal tics, physical jerks and slogans, which flash up on the screen behind her. Like a lot of Americans at the Fringe she has a slightly over-rehearsed, over-scripted style of comedy. She has a speedy delivery, with a touch of Megan Mulvaney. But Helbig is absolutely fluent in the quickfire humour of the perpetually online. The emotional impact of her cancer gets a bit lost in the whizz bang of the telling but she's a fascinating living embodiment of the culture she helped to create. CLAIRE SMITH COMEDY A Hundred Per Cent No Anxiety Comedy Show – Peter Bazely ★★ Upstairs @ Laughing Horse (Venue 151) until 24 August It is quite possible Peter Bazely is just having a bad day. For the hour of his show (which he repeatedly promises 'we will just smash through'), so am I. Everything is read from a notebook and even if this is meant to be anti-comedy, it doesn't really work. Be aware there is quite a lot of audience participation and that much mention is made of Peter's various psychological problems in his performance. The show purports to be 100% No Anxiety, but I found myself getting quite tense. Irritation does that to me. KATE COPSTICK

Féile an Phobail: Family of IRA victim call Féile tribute 'sick'
The family of Linda Boyle, who was killed in a bomb in west Belfast in 1975, have said they are "absolutely disgusted" by the "sick" tribute to former senior IRA member Brendan McFarlane at this year's Féile an Phobail event. McFarlane was jailed for the gun and bomb attack on the Bayardo Bar on Belfast's Shankill Road, which killed five people, including Ms Boyle, and injured 60 Boyle was 17-years-old when she died from the injuries she sustained in the attack. The tribute to McFarlane took place during a performance by the band Shebeen during the Féile an Phobail festival in Falls Park on Sunday. On Tuesday, speaking ahead of the 50th anniversary of the Bayardo pub bombing, the family of Linda Boyle issued a statement which said: "Wednesday will be a particularly difficult day although there have been few easy days since the Provisional IRA stole away our beautiful Linda and the others that fateful day." It went on to say how Linda would now be of retirement age and should be "relaxing and exploring a further chapter of life". "Linda's storybook was ended before she got beyond her first chapter," it added. 'Cruel and crass' It's understood that during the event on Sunday, the band Shebeen performed a song called 'Marcella', written by McFarlane in memory of hunger striker Bobby Sands. A picture of McFarlane was then projected onto the stage screen behind the band to a crowd of thousands. Linda Boyle's family described the tribute as "absolutely disgusting, especially as the 50th anniversary was only a few days away". "Why do some within this society continue to stoke the fires, why do they want to continue to hurt the innocent?" they added. Kenny Donaldson from the South East Fermanagh Foundation, a terrorism victims advocacy group, said that for this tribute to come just days before the anniversary of the bombing is "particularly cruel and crass". He said it was "shameful" and those involved "will have been very aware of what they were doing". Brendan 'Bik' McFarlane died in February. He was the leader of IRA prisoners in the Maze during the 1981 hunger strike, where he was serving five life sentences for also led a mass escape of 38 inmates from the prison near Lisburn in prison officer died of a heart attack after being stabbed and six other officers were stabbed or shot during the was later caught in Amsterdam and extradited to Northern Ireland along with fellow escapee, Sinn Féin's Gerry Kelly. Féile an Phobail have been contacted for a response.

Dermot O'Leary back in Northern Ireland as filming begins on popular travel and food show
Former X-Factor presenter Dermot O'Leary is returning to Northern Ireland this week as filming begins on the second series of his popular food and travelling programme. The announcement comes a year after the successful first series of ITV's Dermot's Taste of Ireland aired, which saw the presenter visit Cork, Wexford and Belfast in a bid to rediscover his Irish roots. The first season saw over 3.3 million viewers tune in from across the country. This time round, O'Leary will kick off his tour of the island's food scene starting at the Causeway Coastal Route, before visiting Londonderry and continuing on to Donegal and Sligo along the famous Wild Atlantic Way. Throughout the journey, O'Leary will meet with the producers, chefs and restaurateurs of the local food scene, while also experiencing the tastes of the coastline. In the series, viewers will also see the This Morning presenter enjoy some of the best outdoor experiences, including boat tours around the coast and try his hand at surfing. The 10 part series will be produced by Rock Oyster Media, and supported by the Shared Island Tourism Brand Collaboration Project. It is set to be seen by millions of viewers when it airs on ITV1 and ITVX next spring. The radio and TV presenter explained he is looking forward to journeying the island once more. 'It's great to get back to the island of Ireland to discover more of its delights and tell more of its stories,' O'Leary said. 'It's somewhere I know so well, and call home, and yet, in some ways, I barely know it at all. I'm looking forward to seeing more of the island, meet our people, explore our heritage, swim in our seas, and of course eat our incredible food.' Chief Executive of Tourism Ireland, Alice Mansergh, said the response to the first series was very positive for the sector. 'We're delighted to welcome Dermot back to Northern Ireland and the island of Ireland as he travels, films and shares his experiences with viewers in GB,' she said. 'The response to the first series of the show was extremely positive. 'Dermot grew up in Essex but spent summers with family in Ireland; with many second and third generation diaspora across Great Britain, Dermot's experiences will resonate with those discovering and rediscovering the island of Ireland, inspiring others to explore our iconic coastal routes for themselves.' The production is also a collaboration with Tourism Ireland, Tourism Northern Ireland and Fáilte Ireland.
