Chris Evans' Virgin Radio breakfast show co-star Vassos Alexander gets visibly emotional as he departs the show after 14 years
Chris Evans' Virgin Radio co-host Vassos Alexander couldn't contain his emotions as he departed the show on Friday. The sports presenter, born in 1973, paid tribute to his co-star, 59, describing his 14-year stint on the airwaves with Chris as the 'honour of my life'. Virgin Radio also paid tribute to Vassos, sharing a clip of his tribute to Chris that was simply described as being 'The mother of Bromances'. A visibly emotional Vassos said: 'It has been the honour of my life to work on this show and I still can't quite believe I'm leaving voluntarily. 'Much more importantly, I value our friendship above everything and long may that continue.' Vassos initially joined The Chris Evans Breakfast Show on BBC Radio 2 in 2011 before the pair moved to the Breakfast Show on Virgin Radio. Paying further tribute to Chris, Vassos decided to play Chris's favourite song as a parting gift. He said: 'There's not much we don't know about each other, but I only just discovered this week that this is your favourite song. 'So Chris, your friend Vassos has picked the song Wild West Hero by ELO. Why? Because he loves you.' 'Oh, Vassos. What are we going to do? We can't start crying now.' Vassos went on to insist that he was not crying before Chris joked that he doesn't cry either. He added: 'This is lovely for us, but it is going to be a rubbish listen if we just cry for three hours!' Vassos's departure from the show was announced back in May when he admitted that while he loved the show, he felt like there was something missing in his life and wanted to pursue other opportunities elsewhere. He said at the time: 'You've got to follow your heart.' Fans were quick to take to social media to thank Vassos for his work on the show and to wish him all the best for the future Fans were quick to take to social media to thank Vassos, whose broadcasting accolades also include the Parkrun podcast, for his work on the show and to wish him all the best for the future. They wrote: 'Going to miss you Vassos and the energy you bring to the show - good luck whatever you do next.'; 'Will miss Vassos on the breakfast show but I wish him all of the best and happiness for the future.' Further tribute was paid to Vassos by Virgin Radio, who shared a montage of his best moments over the years on social media. This included clips of the presenter singing, attempting the 'Sprite challenge', where he tried to drink an entire bottle of the drink without burping, and head-butting a football.

'Lovely' OTT: When and where to watch Mathew Thomas' fantasy film
Malayalam fantasy drama Lovely, starring Mathew Thomas in the lead, is now available for streaming. The film, which hit theatres on May 16, 2025, had a relatively quiet box office run but is now poised for wider appreciation following its OTT debut on June 20. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now A quirky plot with a talking fly Directed and written by Dileesh Karunakaran, Lovely tells the unusual story of Bony, a young man whose dreams of settling in Canada are derailed when he's forced to take up a government job—one held previously by his late father. The movie tells Bony's bond with a talking fly. Although the film had a good concept, it failed to shine at the box office. Supporting cast and performances Alongside Mathew Thomas, the film features notable performances by Sivaangi Krishnakumar, Manoj K Jayan, Aswathy Manoharan, and Prasanth Murali. The actors lend charm and depth to a story that balances whimsy with grounded emotions. The movie is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video. Lovely - Official Teaser ETimes review for the movie read,"On the technical side, while the CGI is commendable, the 3D feels almost unnecessary—except for the scenes involving the flying eecha. Sivaangi Krishnakuar's voice didn't work well and fails to help connect with Lovely. Lovely might be worth a one-time watch, given that it's experimental at its core, and Aashiq Abu's cinematography makes it aesthetically pleasing. Still, the film lacks the "wow" factor needed to truly hook its audience. " On the other hand, Mathew Thomas's previous outing was the comedy film 'Bromance' which received good reviews from the audiences and turned out to be a superhit. The film is also available on OTT.

EXCLUSIVE A top MAGA defector has told me the REAL revenge Elon's plotting... it could destroy Trump's legacy: KENNEDY
If you thought the Dakota Johnson-Chris Martin split was the heartbreak of the week, hold onto your black MAGA hat, because we're witnessing The Great Divorce. The long-predicted separation of President Donald Trump and Elon Musk is here. Love-blind optimists always prayed that the world's most powerful man and the world's richest man could keep their curious bromance alive, and the teary-eyed, televised Oval Office farewell that Elon received on Friday seemed to suggest that there was hope for these political darlings.

Acting was something I felt I should never do: Sangeeth Prathap
What was the moment in your life when you realised cinema was your calling? My father, Prathap Kumar, was a cinematographer and worked as an associate with Jayanan Vincent. I grew up hearing stories about cinema and his experiences on the sets. I suppose that's where the thought of coming into cinema first took root, somewhere in the back of my mind. Editing is a difficult skill to master. What made you choose editing as your career? Even though cinema was my passion, I also wanted the security of a proper job and income. So, instead of jumping straight into filmmaking and its uncertainties, I chose to study BSc Animation. Editing was one of the subjects in our course. When I edited a trailer for the first time, everyone liked it, and I realised I enjoyed editing far more than 2D or 3D animation. Maybe it was again that pull towards cinema because editing was the only part of the course directly related to feature films. After the course, I got placed in an animation company, but the income wasn't what I had hoped for. So I began editing wedding videos. It paid better, and I enjoyed it more. From there, I started editing short films, and eventually, cinema happened. Could you elaborate on your big break? I started as an associate editor on Swathanthryam Ardharathriyil and later worked independently on Pathrosinte Padappukal. Before that, I was an associate and spot editor for about 10-12 films. Anoop Kannan, my father's friend and a director-producer, recommended me to editor Shameer Muhammed. The reason I got to work as an associate editor in my very first film was because Thomas P Sebastian, who was the associate editor of the film at the time, had to leave for another project, That opened a slot for me. Thomas is also the co-writer of Bromance.
