Pierce Brosnan On His "MobLand" Accent
Pierce Brosnan has spoken out about his polarising accent in the TV series MobLand. Although he was born and raised in Ireland, many viewers have been left feeling a little unconvinced by Pierce's Irish twang in the hit TV show, having been more used to hearing him performing with an English accent in the likes of Mrs Doubtfire, Mamma Mia! and the James Bond franchise. One critic in The Irish Times, for example, described Pierce's accent in MobLand as a 'horror for the ages', while The Independent 's review called it 'preposterous'. Speaking to Radio Times, Pierce explained that because his own accent is 'very soft', his character's is 'a million miles away from me'. Pierce also claimed that he told his MobLand dialect coach that he 'needed a Kerry accent, so he gave me the name of a man and I Googled the guy and that was it'. 'I just gave it full tilt,' he claimed. Digital Spy also reported that Pierce told Today FM: 'Last summer I spoke to Guy [Ritchie, the creator of MobLand ] for the first time about [the character's Irish accent] and having read the five episodes he said not to worry about it. '[He said], 'We'll just do it 15 minutes on the day, clear your mind, we'll sort it out, don't worry about it'. Of course, I put the phone down and did worry about it! 'Five weeks later I was on the set with Tom Hardy and Guy, first day, important dialogue, important information and he just said, 'more Irish, more Irish'.' MobLand sees Pierce sharing the screen with Tom Hardy, Paddy Considine, Joanne Froggatt and Helen Mirren, with whom he also co-stars in Netflix's upcoming adaptation of the best-selling novel The Thursday Murder Club. The 10-part drama has been generally well-received by critics, with no official word yet on whether a second season could be on the cards.

'The weight is heavy but the message is important': Fleur East on becoming Tina Turner
After seven sell out years in the West End, Tina: The Tina Turner Musical is to close in September, but not before one final embodiment of the Queen of Rock and Roll. The singer-turned-presenter Fleur East will make her theatrical debut next month when she steps into the stilettos of Tina Turner - all while presenting her 6am breakfast show on Hits Radio. "At first I felt like I was slotting into this iconic company that exists and this music that has been around for 7 years, but now I feel like I have a responsibility to go out with a bang and do Tina Turner's story justice" says Fleur. And that story is an important one. The musical charts the life and legacy of Tina Turner from her humble beginnings in Nutbush Tennessee, to her abusive relationship with the much older rock and roll musician Ike Turner in the 60's, to her iconic performance in front of 18,000 adoring fans at the Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil which would go on to make history for having the largest paying audience for a single artist at the time. "It's very heavy at times because there are some real serious scenes that I have to be involved in, and I can feel that and the weight of it is heavy, but it helps me realise how important the message is and why it's such an incredible role to play," Fleur says. Speaking at rehearsals in London, Fleur continues: "It opens with the scene of Tina at the bottom of the stairs, she's about to perform in Rio, it's an epic performance, she's got the red leather dress on and the iconic Tina hair. Then we go to the beginning where it all began and we see Tina's story and understand her background, her roots and what makes Tina the woman that she is... by the end it's a perfect journey because you learn every single facet of her." But in a saturated market where it can feel like every new musical is either based on the life of, or set to the music of, what makes Tina: The Tina Turner Musical special is that is was made in association with the woman herself. Today, the shows director, Phyllida Lloyd who also brought us blockbusters like The Iron Lady and Mamma Mia!, reveals how her story so nearly never made it to the stage. "Tina didn't want it to happen at first," Phyllida says. "She said she got so many letters from people saying what an inspiration she'd been to them, not just her music, but her life story and felt if she could go on inspiring people to make that blow for freedom that she made then it would be worth trying to make the musical." Since it's opening in the West End in 2018 - which Tina herself was present for - eight million people have watched eight women embody the music legend. Tina passed in 2023 aged 83 and today the musical serves as a homage to her strength and talent. But how do you know someone is cut out to play the Queen of Rock and Roll? "Spontaneity" says Phyllida, "You are looking for the most positive spirit you could possibly find, a triple threat, someone who can dance sing and act, so that's the miracle of Karis and Fleur who haven't come from this world of drama." Next month, when Fleur walks out on stage at London's Aldwych Theatre, she'll undoubtably be aware of the big boots she has to fill - she is sharing the role with performer Karis Anderson who has been playing the musical icon for the last five years. But, this is not the first time Fleur's world has collided with the Queen of Rock's. During her stint on The X Factor, where she first rose to prominence, Fleur performed Turner's A Fool in Love.A year later on her debut album Fleur penned a tribute to the singer in her song Kitchen writing "What's love got to do with it, Tina, Tina, Tina, turn it up". Then in 2023 following her participation in Strictly Come Dancing, Fleur returned to the dancefloor to perform a tribute to Tina alongside Beverly Knight and Laura Mvula. Today she says it feels like a full circle moment. "I feel like I've definitely channeled Tina over the years as a performer. I've studied Tina, her dynamic energy, just the way she would come alive on stage. I've watched so many performances of hers. So for me, it does feel like a full circle moment. It feels like Tina has always been with me as a performer and as a singer, it's a real honour." Fleur will perform in the musical from Tuesday 24 June to Saturday 13 September 2025 marking the end of its West End run.

I stayed at the super relaxing Greek resort with hidden beaches, laid-back DJ tunes and private pools

Having joined the Hilton's Curio Collection last year, the adults-only 5H resort still feels sparklingly new, despite having opened its doors in 2021. I spent the next few days in utter bliss. Barely an hour after checking in, my first stop was the spa for the hotel's complimentary 15-minute massage. I was surprised at how such a short session was one of the best I've ever had. The stubborn knots lining my shoulder blades were easily unkinked within a few minutes. The relaxation continued at the hotel swimming pools, with two to choose from. The main, bigger pool is the most popular, lined with sun loungers covered in squishy striped covers you sink into as you sunbathe, or snooze. Live DJ sets and even saxophone players sprang up throughout the day, but they did not feel overwhelming. There is just a laid-back, beach club vibe. I became a frequent visitor to the pool bar too, making it my mission to try all the signature cocktails. The Numo Tequila Sunrise was a firm favourite.

While Crete doesn't have private beaches, the dark sandy one behind Numo feels secluded enough when swimming in the Mediterranean Sea When I craved some privacy in the evenings, I relaxed on private loungers while dipping my toes into the water. Rooms are inspired by the tamarisk trees that line the coastline, with muted green, grey and brown decor. Even the entry-level rooms come with this modern palette and a balcony or terrace. My suite was definitely a step up, though, with a cosy lounge area, spacious bedroom and huge open-plan bathroom complete with a roll-top bath. A day of drinking wine on the patio meant I needed to line my stomach, and stays at the Numo Ierapetra Beach Resort can include breakfast or half-board with dinner. The buffet restaurant Tamarisk has some of the best views of the house, with the pool to one side and the beach to the other. But what the buffet lacks in size, it makes up for in taste. One evening, my rich lamb was accompanied by spinach orzo, and a cabbage and kimchee salad. The next day, I gorged on creamy pasta with barbecued chicken and a variety of Greek salads. The spread at breakfast includes fresh hot pastries, bread, fruit and cooked options. There is also a speciality restaurant called Menoa, serving Peruvian cuisine such as fresh fish tacos, and you will get a discount if staying half-board. Guests can head to Kafené, the onsite cafe and gift shop, for an authentic Greek coffee made by heating it in sand. I was amazed by how quiet the resort felt, despite being at full capacity I was amazed by how quiet the resort felt, despite being at full capacity. And there is more than enough to keep you busy.

You can spend the afternoon browsing the hotel's clothes shop before a personal training session at the gym. While the resort does its best to stop you from wanting to leave, we took a day trip to nearby Kristas. One of the oldest villages on the island, it has pretty, winding alleyways and hundreds of plants surrounding doorways. 5 The Numo Ierapetra Beach Resort can include breakfast or half-board with dinner Credit: Supplied 5 Kara relaxes by the pool Credit: Supplied It is also the best place for a souvenir, with locally made jewellery and clothing stores alongside more touristy trinket spots, selling magnets and pottery.

Who needs yoga when you can head to Numo instead?
