Emmerdale stars who played brothers on soap to wed TODAY in £100k ceremony at wilderness venue with celeb guests
EMMERDALE stars who met while playing brothers in the soap are to marry today in a six figure ceremony. Actors Max Parker and Kris Mochrie are set to have the soap wedding of the year with their extravagant nuptials today. 6 6 6 6 The couple began dating after playing brothers in the ITV soap, have splashed out six figures for their wedding at the exclusive Wilderness Reserve in Suffolk where weddings start at a whopping £65,000. The couple got engaged in 2022 with Max getting down on one knee on holiday with a ring made from one of Kris' beloved grandmother's locket. They've hired the super-swish Chapel Barn venue on the estate for the multi-day bash that begin last night. Bottles of Laurent-Perrier Cuvee Rose (£82 a bottle) kept guests refreshed at the outdoor rehearsal dinner BBQ last night, while wedding favours included 'KM' branded bars of Tony's Chocolate Chocolonely bars. The guests were led from the barn across the meadows to a lakeside dinner by a brass band. To end the night the couple got into a rowing boat on one of the 5,000 acre estate's lakes together to release some Chinese lanterns. And today's main event began with breakfast followed by a group workout for the super-fit couple with the partying set to go on until 2am. One wedding industry insider said the couple would have easily spent more than £100,000 on their day. The couple will tie the knot today in front of a hundred or so of their closet acquaintances including Code of Silence star Kieron Moore and Love Island's Callum Jones. However it seems their fellow soap stars didn't make the cut. It is set to make Coronation Street star Jack P. Shepherd's recent wedding in Manchester look like a booze-up in the Rovers. Emmerdale's Max Parker reveals he's engaged to his on-screen brother A source said: 'There really has been no expense spared for Max and Kris. 'Every detail has been taken care of with only the most stylish and chic things for their big day. 'It's something for their friends and family to remember forever. 'There's nothing garish, it's all very classy and about them as a couple celebrating with those closest to them.' 6 6 Real-life soap couples Soaps are renowned for their sweet and scandalous romances – but it's not just in scripted storylines where love is blossoming. A number of our favourite small-screen actors have fallen for co-stars and soapland rivals when the cameras have stopped rolling. Max Parker and Kris Mochrie Despite playing brothers Luke and Lee Posner on Emmerdale, the pair never actually shared any scenes together. But the pair still fell in love after meeting on set. Max and Kris got together in 2020, moving in together later than same year and got engaged in 2022. In a sweet Instagram post, the couple confirmed they're planning a 2025 wedding. Beth Cordingly and Ian Kelsey Beth, who plays Ruby Fox-Miligan, announced her love for her co-star Ian Kelsey, who played Dean Glover, shortly after she joined Emmerdale at the beginning of 2024. 'I am very in love with Ian and very happy. I think it really does work him being an actor too. He has been so fantastic," she gushed. Laura Norton and Mark Jordan Kerry Wyatt and Daz Eden actors Laura and Mark met on the set of Emmerdale in 2014. The couple, who got engaged in 2018, told Loose Women they spent a long time deciding whether they should "just stay as friends." Although it seems they were meant to be and the pair now share two children together. Zoe Henry and Jeff Hordley Emmerdale favourites Zoe and Jeff, who play Rhonda Goskirk and Cain Dingle met at drama college in 1994 and have been together ever since. While working together might be too much for some couples, that's definitely not the case for Zoe and Jeff. Zoe previously told The Sun: "Working on the same show as Jeff also helps because if one of us is having a bad day then the other will completely understand." Lesley Dunlop and Chris Chittell Lesley and Chris are another Dales romantic success story. Unlike some of the other soap stars, the pair who play Brenda Walker and Eric Pollard, are together on and off screen, officially tying the knot in 2016. They also adore working together, but have clear home-work boundaries. "We make a point of not talking about Emmerdale when we're at home, though – that would be just too sad, wouldn't it?" Chris revealed. Sally Carman and Joe Duttine Abi Franklin and Tim Metcalfe actors Sally and Joe got together after meeting on the set of Coronation Street in 2017 and they tied the knot in July 2022. But unlike some of the Emmerdale stars, Sally and Joe prefer that their characters don't interact much. Sally previously admitted it "would be horrendous" to work on a storyline with Joe because "he's too funny." Anthony Cotton and Peter Eccleston Sean Tully may have been unlucky in love on the cobbles, but in real life Antony's met his Prince Charming. The soap star started dating long-term partner Peter in 2005, after they met when he was working as an assistant props buyer on Corrie. Jane Danson and Robert Beck Corrie favourite Jane Danson tied the knot with soap star Robert Beck in 2005. The actress, who plays Leanne Battersby, shares two children, Harry and Sam, with the former Brookside star. During their marriage, Robert has also done a stint in Weatherfield playing criminal Jimmy Dockerson. Caroline Harding and Chris Gascoyne Chris, who played pub landlord Peter Barlow, married soap star Caroline in 2002. Although she is best known as an Emmerdale star, Caroline did visit her husband at work when she did a two-episode stint as doctor on the Manchester soap in 2020. The couple share a daughter called Belle, plus two children, Pip and Freddie from Caroline's previous marriage. Nadine Mulkerrin and Rory Douglas Speed Nadine Mulkerrin, and Rory Doulas Speed are known for their Hollyoaks alter egos Cleo McQueen and Joel Dexter. The loved-up pair got engaged on a December 2018 trip to Amsterdam - just over a year after they announced they were dating. They now share two kids, Reggie and Dougie. Sophie Austin and Shayne Ward Former Hollyoaks star Sophie, whose best known for playing villain Lindsay Butterfield, was introduced to singer and ex-Corrie star Shayne through mutual friends. She gave birth to their daughter Willow in December 2016 and they welcomed a son in 2022. The Sun exclusively revealed how the pair's relationship developed in 2020 after they both appeared on Emmerdale playing brothers Luke and Lee Posner. Max quit the soap in 2022 and has gone on to have success in a host of other shows including Vampire Academy and Doctor Who and will soon star in Netflix's next big dramatic comedy from the late legendary producer Norman Lear, Boots, later this year. Kris meanwhile, who first found fame on Brookside, has starred in Vera and The Long Shadow while also working in events.

Oasis charge a whopping £169 for just TWO bottles of champagne as brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher continue their reunion tour in London
Oasis fans have had to fork out £169 for just two bottle of champagne as Noel and Liam begin their run of dates in London. And it has not just been the tickets that has cost fans hundreds of pounds as two bottles of Laurent-Perrie champagne are being sold for nearly £170. Typically a bottle of the bubbles would cost between £40 and £50 but if revelers want to enjoy a cheeky tipple they will have to cough up a lot more at Wembley. But some fans may be happy to accept the expense for the historic moment as Oasis-fever hit London yesterday as the band return to the capital to play their first gig there in more than 16 years. After a run of homecoming gigs in Manchester's Heaton Park, the rock and roll stars, fronted by Gallagher brothers Liam and Noel, will take to the stage at London's Wembley Stadium tonight. Fans pitched up at the venue 12 hours before the start having paid at least £151 per ticket - but some have paid £564 or more for the best seats. The band announced their highly anticipated reunion tour in August last year, after Noel quit in 2009 after a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris. They will now return to perform at Wembley for the first time since July 12, 2009, when they performed during their Dig Out Your Soul tour. With five nights scheduled, the group posted door and stage timings on their Instagram account with an hour-by-hour breakdown of the evening, starting with the gates opening at 5pm. The night will kick off from 6pm with the rock band Cast, followed by singer Richard Ashcroft at 7pm. Oasis will then take the stage for a two-hour set at 8.15pm. The group kicked off their Oasis Live '25 world tour on July 4 at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, receiving five star reviews from critics at The Guardian, The Telegraph and The Times. The group has also dominated the UK album charts, with three top five albums, according to the Official Charts Company. While fans were excited at the reunion, some were outraged after some standard tickets in the UK and Ireland jumped from £148 to £355. The controversy prompted the Government and the UK's competition watchdog to pledge to look at the use of dynamic pricing. After their final London gig on August 3, the group will move north to Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium before performing at Dublin's Croke Park. The band will then head to Japan, South Korea, South America, Australia and North America. Meanwhile Liam and Noel paid homage to the late Ozzy Osbourne at night one of Wembley. The music legend, nicknamed the Prince of Darkness, died on Tuesday at the age of 76 just weeks after he took to the stage for his final show with Black Sabbath, with his family confirming the devastating news. The Gallagher brothers respectfully honoured the legendary rock star by singing Rock 'N' Roll Star in front of a huge image of Ozzy. In videos shared across social media of the tribute, Liam said: 'Liam said: 'I want to dedicate this next one to Ozzy Osbourne, Rock 'N' Roll Star'.

Cool New Champagnes And Sparkling Wines For Summer
Chandon's newest bubbly, Reserve Blanc de Blancs Chandon It is an ideal time to be drinking Champagne and sparkling wines—not only because hot summer days are best quenched with millions of pearly bubbles but also because some of the world's best producers are debuting exciting and cool new expressions. Laurent-Perrier made a splash this summer with the arrival of a Champagne composed entirely of reserve wines. In California, winemaker Andrew Books launched a sparkling wine that has been ten years in the making and Piper Heidsieck just launched a new brut rose. Adventures in bubbly start now with this list of the coolest new Champagnes and sparkling wines: Laurent-Perrier Héritage: A marvelous new expression from the family-run house of Laurent-Perrier—in many ways the Hermès of Champagne. One of the few houses that is independent and family-owned, they prize legacy, tradition and history as well as dedication to craft. They rush nothing and are devoted to precision. This new expression (which is a BIG deal, as they've debuted only eight wines in 86 years of production) is a unique blend composed entirely of reserve wines. They blended over 40 different crus (50% of which are Grand Cru) aged the wine for four years and added minimal dosage. The palate dances with lively notes of lemon cream and peach; the texture is silky and rich and the finish brings lovely notes of buttered biscuit. Just a gorgeous Champagne, and brand new to the market this summer. $124.99 Chandon Reserve Blanc de Blancs: (on shelves in August) The new Reserve Blanc de Blancs is a bit of a departure for Chandon's winemaker Pauline Lhote. It has more oak aging and a yeastier, more 'reserve' flavor profile that calls to mind Lhote's favorite Blanc de Blancs from Champagne. It was aged 52 months, Fuji pear, apple, citrus, brioche, almond, and honey. Made from 100% Chardonnay, with partial fermentation in French oak barrels for added layers of richness and complexity, the wine was aged for 52 months. Ripe apple and pear notes layered with lemon, cream and buttery croissant character show on the palate. Complex and alive, a truly rich expression of Carneros terroir and climate. $40 Kernel Sparkling Pinot Blanc, Los Carneros: This 100% pinot blanc sparkling wine is another premium expression from Los Carneros. Winemaker Andrew Brooks opted to sparkle pinot blanc (as opposed to the classic varietals chardonnay and pinot noir) and the result is layered deliciousness. It's juicy and mouthwatering but also possesses a complex richly textured mousse rife with notes of ripe apple, citrus zest, and a buttery-nutty top note. $40 Piper-Heidsieck Brut Rosé: Piper-Heidsieck just debuted a vibrant new cuvée to its portfolio: Brut Rosé. Crafted by Chief Winemaker Emilien Boutillat upon his arrival at the House, the new rosé is a precise blend of pinot noir, chardonnay and meunier. The palate dances with vibrant strawberry-raspberry notes and gets a zesty finish from citrus notes. Elegant, fresh and juicy it's a stunning new rose from a venerated Champagne producer. $74 Moët & Chandon Collection Impériale, Création N°2 : The much-awaited second iteration of Chef de Cave Benoît Gouez's compelling blend of specific vintages aged in various formats is not yet out, but expect to see it later this year. Each expression reveals something new, and this one promises to be as exceptional as the first debut— Moët & Chandon Collection Impériale Création N ° 1 : A connoisseurs Champagne by all means with its precise focused palate of pear and smoky citrus amplified by a marvelous freshness and no dosage. Stay tuned for price and availability.

Thai Airways business class review: I found the friendliest flight attendants in the sky
I feel like I've just been reunited with a long-lost dear friend. She's standing inside the door of a Thai Airways plane, dressed head-to-toe in a stunning purple and gold Ruean Ton and sporting the warmest smile I've ever seen on a stranger. 'Welcome aboard, Mr Molloy,' she smiles, gently escorting me to my seat in the pointy end of the Airbus A350-900. As we walk and I settle into my temporary home in the sky, we chat about how beautiful the weather is in Sydney at the moment, where I'm headed – Copenhagen via Bangkok – and the flight time, which is a touch under 22 hours. I don't know this person, but she is so effortlessly personable and kind that it feels like I do. Moments later, I'm approached by another delightful member of the cabin crew, carrying a tray of juices and water. 'Thank you for joining us, Mr Molloy,' she gushes, as though I'm bestowing some kind of honour on the airline. In reality, I'm on a work trip and I've scored an upgrade, otherwise I'd probably be down the other end of the plane – a million miles from this slice of nirvana I find myself in. 'Could I possibly have a glass of bubbles?' I ask, trying my luck. It's not the standard offering right before takeoff, but she nods gently, smiles and floats away, returning moments later with a flute of Laurent-Perrier. Over the years, I've been lucky to fly long-haul a lot, and on a dozen or so different airlines. Some have been bad, most good, but very few great. I don't know it for sure just yet, but this one is about to fall into the latter category. Sure, the business offering on big-name carriers like Emirates and Qatar is flashier, but the Thai Airways experience still punches above its weight. The business cabin on this aircraft is a one-two-one configuration, meaning everyone has direct aisle access. On the first leg of my trip, I'm in a window seat, which offers a bit more privacy. The middle seats have a raiseable partition separating you from your next-door neighbour. The cabin is bathed in lavender and gold tones, which is a nod to the official colours of Thailand, while seat pods have wood accents for an extra touch of class. Cabin mood lighting in dazzling shades of purple, orange and pink mixes perfectly with the subtle scent of aromatherapy lingering in the air. The seat is a lie-flat bed measuring just under 190 centimetres when fully extended and it comes with a soft pillow and warm blanket for bedtime. When it comes to reclining, passengers are in full control of its orientation from start to finish, offering a host of combinations to get your head, neck, back, legs and lumber positioning just right. I'm using much of my flying time to Europe to smash out some writing, so I'm impressed by the size and orientation of the fold-out tray table. There's room for my laptop, dictaphone and notebook, and handy USB and power outlets in proximity. Dotted throughout my pod are a few storage nooks and cubbies to stash my belongings, including my shoes, which I swap for a pair of supplied cotton slippers. There's a large screen offering 150 movies and 200 television shows, absorbed via noise cancelling headphones. In-flight Wi-Fi is available on most services for a charge, but I'm choosing to disconnect from the ground for a while. The amenities kit, a beloved staple of business class flying, is one of the best I've seen. Even the satchel itself is beautiful – a silk pouch made by the famed brand Jim Thompson, named after the American art enthusiast credited with reviving Thailand's silk industry in the 1950s onwards. Inside are a selection of high-end Erb cosmetics including an intense hydration hand cream, moisturising lip balm, and aromatherapy relaxation oil. There's also a toothbrush and toothpaste, eye mask, earplugs, warm socks, and a biodegradable shoehorn. And as a preview of the delicious treats to come, I'm gifted a KanVela chocolate bar. Once we're at our cruising altitude and settled in, the first meal of my journey is served – and it's spectacular. An amuse bouche of chilli and lime prawn skewers with goats cheese and onion jam on crackers, followed by smoked salmon and chive crème fraiche with a mixed salad. For the main course, I select the braised beef short ribs with porcini mushroom, serviced with horseradish mashed potatoes. A basket of breads makes its way through the cabin and I opt for a garlic loaf, which is warm and buttery. For dessert, I'm blown away by a raspberry and coconut mousse dome with caramel crunchy pearls. Throughout the flight, there are a range of snacks and drinks on offer, and it seems like the cabin crew can read my mind. Just as I start to think about ice cream or a packet of chips, someone appears to check if I need anything. Magic. The second meal a few hours out from Bangkok is just as tasty as the first. In a sign of how basic I am, I skip past the duck breast and hoisin crispy pork belly bao buns and go for the lamb shepherd's pie, which has one of the fluffiest mashed potato tops I've encountered. It's accompanied by fresh fruit, more bread, and finished with a jaw-dropping white chocolate brownie with crème anglaise. I've absolutely gorged myself silly and before I know it, it's time to prepare for landing at Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok. The transit is an absolute breeze, with friendly ground staff on hand to point me in the direction of the Royal Orchid Prestige Lounge, where I can freshen up before my next flight. I'm on the ground for three-and-a-bit hours before it's time to make my way to the gate. The Bangkok to Copenhagen services is on an older Boeing 777 and the business class fit out is a more dated style. But it's still fairly comfortable – and the service is just as top-notch. I can barely keep my eyes open given I've not yet slept and I'm slipping in a food coma, so my memories of the 11-hour journey are a little hazy. I'm asleep for the vast majority of it, which means I can jump-start my whirlwind trip to Europe with ease. Thai Airways flies twice daily from Sydney and Melbourne to Bangkok, and once daily from Perth, with connections to Europe and beyond.
