Is Phil Dunster not in Ted Lasso Season 4? 8 other favorites who could be out
Excitement is high for fans of everyone's favorite football-coach-turned-soccer-coach, Ted Lasso as Apple TV+ released the first behind-the-scenes clip of Season 4 on Monday, giving a glimpse at the cast in a Kansas City restaurant. Jason Sudeikis (Ted Lasso), Brett Goldstein (Roy Kent), Hannah Waddingham (Rebecca Welton), Juno Temple (Keeley Jones), Brendan Hunt (Coach Beard) and Jeremy Swift (Leslie Higgins) are all confirmed to return for the new season of the Emmy-award winning comedy. But will we see all of our favorites? So far, there has not been any official confirmation on any of the following: Before you panic, just know this doesn't meant that they're definitely not returning in their roles. There is potential that the new season centers around the new AFC Richmond women's team that Keeley pitched to Rebecca at the end of Season 3. If that's the case -- and Ted is being approached to help with or coach the women's squad -- it makes sense we'd see less of the men's players. There's still a chance that some, or all, of the previous supporting cast returns. We'll just have to wait and see. Is Phil Dunster coming back as Jamie Tartt? Regarding that, from Deadline: Not picked up at the time was Phil Dunster (Jamie), in part due to a conflict with another series. He has since signed on for a series regular role on a new HBO comedy from Ted Lasso executive producer Bill Lawrence and Warner Bros TV but could potentially reprise his role in some limited capacity, with fellow Brit Nick Mohammed (Nate) teasing a possible Ted Lasso return in January.

'Challenging' BBC drama featuring Adolescence star confirms release date
Unforgivable is a new drama from Time writer Jimmy McGovern and has a stellar cast including Anna Friel and Line of Duty's Anna Maxwell Martin The BBC has unveiled the release date for a chilling new drama featuring a young actor from Adolescence and a star from Line of Duty. Unforgivable is a gripping original drama penned by Time's scriptwriter Jimmy McGovern, and much like the Sean Bean and Stephen Graham led series Time, it's set within and revolves around the UK prison system. The plot centres on the fictional Mitchell family, who are left grappling with the devastating aftermath of an act of abuse committed by one of their own. After serving two years of his prison sentence, Joe (portrayed by Bobby Schofield) finds himself in an institution that provides him with a home and rehabilitation post-release. He embarks on therapy sessions in an attempt to comprehend what drove him to commit such a horrific crime, and to confront the repercussions of his actions, reports the Liverpool Echo. The recently released trailer by the BBC depicts Joe adjusting to life after prison, while his family continue to question the reasons behind his abusive behaviour. His sister Anne (played by Emmy-award winner Anna Friel) is coping with the impact his crime has had on her family, including her sons Tom (Adolescence actor Austin Haynes) and Peter (Fin McParland), whilst her father Brian (David Threlfall) is livid at the idea of her having been in contact with Joe. Meanwhile, Line of Duty actress Anna Maxwell Martin portrays a former nun who provides Joe with therapy at the institution as part of his rehabilitation. The upcoming drama Unforgivable has created quite a buzz with the BBC hinting that it's all about the widespread impact of abuse and the struggle to move beyond its devastation. "The drama examines the extensive ripple effect of abuse from multiple perspectives and how those involved can try to move forwards in the midst of the devastation," the corporation teased ahead of the show's anticipated release. It has now been confirmed that Unforgivable will debut in full on BBC iPlayer at 6am on Thursday 24th July, with the episode airing later that day on BBC Two. Reacting to the newly-published trailer, as it was shared by Marcella actress Anna on Instagram, one fan wrote: "Can't wait - looks so good." Another posted: "Ohhhhhhhh wow - I feel a binge watch coming up!!!!!!" "Gonna be seated to watch this religiously. Congrats on your new project," a third said. "It's McGovern so looks so gripping already, thanks for sharing," someone else wrote. Set against the backdrop of Liverpool, where it was filmed, the cast is further bolstered with Mark Womack, Paddy Rowan, and Phina Oruche taking up pivotal supporting roles. Lindsay Salt, Director of BBC Drama, previously shared an insight into what viewers can expect from the drama, saying: "Jimmy McGovern is one of our greatest dramatists, and a master at writing about today's world. "His new film sensitively examines the pain of abuse and how it affects not only the victim but ripples out across the whole family. To see it brought to the screen with such a high calibre cast and creative team is further testament to the quality of Jimmy's writing." Writer Jimmy McGovern also said: "I can't believe the cast and crew that have been assembled for this production. It's a challenging film, yes, but I can't wait for it to be shown." Colin McKeown, executive producer for LA Productions added: "This is a profoundly challenging and sensitive subject, tackled with intelligence and care by Jimmy McGovern. It's a privilege to be working with him again following the success of our previous collaborations on single dramas: Common, Care, Reg and Anthony." Unforgivable will be available to watch on BBC iPlayer at 6am on Thursday 24th July, and air on BBC Two at 9pm that evening.

Louise McSharry: ‘She is my personal beauty guru, and her account is the one I turn to for tips and recommendations'
As a result, any make-up girly worth their salt can list off their personal faves — artists whose work inspires them and whose recommendations they unreservedly trust. These relationships form a firm foundation for any potential products launched by leading make-up artists. If you trust their recommendations, it makes sense that you would be excited by products formulated by the artists themselves. Many buzz-worthy beauty brands have make-up artists at the helm. Here are some of my personal favourites. KJH Brand — Katie Jane Hughes is my personal beauty guru, and by that I mean her account is the one I turn to for tips and recommendations. She just finished touring with Dua Lipa as her make-up artist, and has worked with countless stars from Lily Allen to Hailey Bieber. Her product line, KJH Beauty, launched in 2023, and this month it finally started shipping to Ireland. The existing range is fantastic — I particularly like the thoughtfully designed brushes and Smudge Stick (€26 via a cream-to-powder soft matte blush stick which delivers a glass skin effect when paired with Hyper Shine Serum (€28 via She's the queen of glossy skin, so this makes total sense. I've had a peek at some upcoming launches, and they look fantastic, too. Half Magic Beauty — There's nothing boring about this line by make-up artist Donni Davy, who made a name for herself creating the Emmy-award winning make-up for Euphoria. As you might expect if you've seen the show, Half Magic has a heavy emphasis on sparkle — I love the Sparklestik Eye Crayons (€23 via which deliver long-lasting, glittery colour — but the brand also delivers on essentials like the excellent Magic Flik Liquid Eyeliner (€22 via Westman Atelier — With a client list that includes Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Aniston and Gwyneth Paltrow among many others, it's no surprise that Gucci Westman's Westman Atelier line is packed full of luxurious beauty staples. They will cost you a pretty penny, but are packed so beautifully that they feel like proper treats. Of course, the products themselves are excellent as well. I particularly love Lit Up Highlight Stick (€52 via which is the perfect blend of blush and highlighter and delivers the rosy, glowy cheeks of your dreams. Danessa Myricks Beauty — Danessa Myricks's journey to becoming a make-up artist and brand owner was born out of the beauty needs of people with deeper skin tones. What was available in terms of artistry and product wasn't sufficient, so Myricks got to work. She has innovated both as an artist and in terms of product development, and as a result, her product range is excellent. Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder (€44.64 via is unlike anything else, delivering blurred coverage and truly excellent oil control. Buying Irish I absolutely love a 'one-and-done' eyeshadow, and by that I mean one so perfect that you can create a gorgeous eye look with it and it alone. My most recent favourite is Hildun Beauty's Soul Shimmer Eyeshadow in Champagne Truffle (€20 via from the brand's collaboration with make-up artist Hannah Martin. The formula is a cream-powder hybrid which applies beautifully without fallout, and the colour is a stunningly sparkly cool-toned brown, which would suit any eye colour. I wore this over the weekend and was absolutely delighted with myself every time I looked in the mirror thanks to the way it beautifully catches the light. Something old… If you're a regular reader, you'll know I don't really believe in beauty rules. Do what you want, as long as it feels good. However, the seasons absolutely impact my taste in fragrance. What feels right for me in winter feels too heavy for summer. I have long been a fan of Estée Lauder's Bronze Goddess (€87 via for summertime — I often buy a bottle in the airport when I'm heading on holiday. Bronze Goddess features notes of amber, coconut milk and vanilla along with mandarin and lemon and hints of jasmine. There's something beachy and almost sun-creamy about it, making it an escapist's delight. The original formula launched in 2008, and it's been a staple of many a chic woman's summer fragrance collection ever since. In recent years, the formula has been replaced with an 'Eau Fraiche' edition, but don't worry, the fragrance remains the same. ... Something new Founded in 2015, Phlur is a fragrance brand known for scents which evoke specific moments. It's grown substantially in popularity since fashion content creator Chriselle Lim took over in 2021. The brand's latest launch is Beach Skin (from €25 via which was designed to deliver that 'just off the beach after a day in the sun surrounded by tropical flowers' feeling. Notes of bergamot, salted tiare flower and pink pepper combine with coconut milk, lily of the valley, sandalwood, vanilla and musk to create something which feels warm and cosy. In my opinion, it's the perfect blend of creaminess and fresh florals, making it perfect for summer. Phlur's fragrances are designed with layering in mind, so if you want to sweeten Beach Skin up, try it with Peach Skin.

Sophie Turner jokes she got sex education on the sets of Game of Thrones: ‘More than enough'
English actor actor Sophie Turner recently opened up about how Game of Thrones played a major role in her personal and professional development — even when it came to unexpected lessons. Sophie Turner played the role of Sansa Stark in Game of Thrones(Instagram/sophiet) While chatting on the Dish podcast, the 29-year-old actor said, "I definitely got my sex education from that show. More than enough." Sophie, who portrayed Sansa Stark in the Emmy-award winning show, reflected on how being part of the series shaped her over the years. Having starred alongside a powerhouse ensemble including Emilia Clarke, Kit Harington, Peter Dinklage, and Gwendoline Christie, she shared how deeply connected she felt to the experience. "I never had proper formal training, so I got to learn from the amazing actors around me, which I felt like I won a competition. But it was great. We all were a family," she recalled. Her time as Sansa spanned nearly a decade, and Sophie explained how her identity and that of her character began to intertwine. "My character, I got to live with. So it felt like we kind of merged into one person by the end of it. But it was amazing." Sansa Stark's evolution throughout the series became one of its most compelling arcs. Introduced as a sheltered and idealistic young noblewoman, Sansa endured a series of harrowing experiences that included betrayal, captivity, and abuse. But rather than breaking her, these events transformed her into a resilient, politically sharp, and commanding presence in Westeros. By the series' end, Sansa had claimed her power, being crowned Queen in the North — a testament to her strength, intelligence, and survival. Looking back, Sophie said the show helped her grow both on and off camera. "Everything I learned from Game of Thrones — and a bit from my parents," she noted, crediting the series for teaching her about set dynamics, professional conduct, and making career choices. She's also gone on record before about her love for the role, once saying she "loved playing Sansa" on the show.

Ben Stiller's actress daughter says they have discussed writing a play together
Ella, 23, who plays the lead in a new off-Broadway play called Dilaria, said that while she would like to work alongside her father, she is also wanting to 'pave my own way and have my own voice be put out there.' She told US publication Teen Vogue: 'My dad and I talk a lot about writing together, and I think we eventually want to write a play together for the two of us, hopefully. 'I would love, love, love to work with everyone in my family, just because… growing up, that's what my dad always said — when you watch his movies, so many of the little random parts in it are family members or a family friend or something. 'And it's almost just a hidden gem Easter egg thing… you can put little parts of your own self and life into it.' Her father has led comedy films including Zoolander, Meet The Parents and The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty. Ella said: 'I think my dad and I are very similar in the way our brains work and the way we view art and writing and creativity. 'I feel he and I are very much cut from the same cloth. 'I feel I get a lot of my everyday stuff or mannerisms from my mom. We all, collectively, get our sense of humour from each other. 'We have a very specific way of joking in my family, which I love so much… I am surrounded by a lot of really smart people who make really smart jokes without ego.' She added: 'I grew up with access to people. My parents, my grandparents were amazing actors and writers and that's incredible and that's an amazing privilege, but I wanted to also have my own people and pave my own way and have my own voice be put out there. 'I always want to make sure the people that I work with and who I surround myself with are people who really see me as my own person and my own artist.' Emmy-award winning actor Ben also shares a son called Quinlin with his wife, actress Christine Taylor.
