A-list Brit star, 31, spotted on secret date with stunning model just weeks after split from Doja Cat

And it seems the hunt for a new flame has landed him a glamorous admirer.

An onlooker told me: 'Joseph and Amelia were really low key and, when they left, they made sure they went separately. 'He went ahead and got into the car before Amelia joined him. 'It seemed like they were on a date, but were keen not for anyone to notice them.' Given how public his romance with Doja was, I'm not surprised Joe is keen to keep things on the low. His life will soon turn completely upside down when he starts filming Sam Mendes' Beatles films. The director will create four films based on the lives of George Harrison, Sir Paul Mccartney, Ringo Starr and John Lennon. Doja Cat calls 17yo Stranger Things star Noah Schnapp a 'snake' and a 'weasel' for exposing private DMs she sent trying to hook up with his co-star Joseph Quinn While Joe is playing George, Paul Mescal will be McCartney, Harris Dickinson is set to portray John and Barry Keoghan has signed up as Ringo. Barry has already spent six months in a Beatles bootcamp learning how to drum like Ringo. And Joe admitted he's also been hard at it for the past month or so. He said: 'We've had five weeks of rehearsal. It's a fascinating process. 'Being around those guys, Paul, Barry and Harris, I think that they are very deeply talented men, thoughtful men, good, hard workers. 'I'm very inspired by them and we're all kind of going through this process together. 'There's more work to be done but I'll get back to it soon.' Joe will return to rehearsals for the Beatles film later this summer, with the four lads expected to start filming at the end of the year. Given how hectic his schedule is, he deserves a medal if he manages to keep a steady girlfriend at the same time.

OASIS: IT'S CIGS AT GIGS OASIS fever is never-ending, with the band preparing to play their second show at London's Wembley Stadium tonight. And Noel and Liam Gallagher are keen to keep it going, after dropping a live version of their 1994 hit Cigarettes & Alcohol, which was recorded during their July 11 show at Heaton Park in Manchester. 9 Oasis have dropped a live version of their 1994 hit Cigarettes & Alcohol Credit: Getty And insiders tell me the pair will definitely be releasing a live album of their entire set list, so fans can relive the magic of the concerts once they're over. A source said: 'The Oasis reunion is a historic moment in music and these concerts will be talked about for decades to come. 'The band are sounding amazing and they've decided it simply has to be captured as a moment in time. "There will be more singles released before the album drops.' Oasis's only previous live album was Familiar To Millions, which was released in November 2000 after it was recorded at a huge concert at Wembley Stadium in July that year. As a solo artist, Liam has released three live albums – MTV Unplugged (Live At Hull City Hall), Down By The River Thames – which captured his performance on a barge on the river in December 2020 – and Knebworth 22, recording his triumphant return to the site of Oasis's legendary 1996 open- air shows at the Hertfordshire country house. If you've not yet downloaded the live version of Cigarettes & Alcohol, I would highly recommend doing it. And make sure you turn the volume right up. Your neighbours will be sure to love it. Bizbit NINETIES heart-throb Kavana had a time when he was living every gay guy's dream. The I Can Make You Feel Good singer has revealed he once found himself dating one of Madonna's dancers and partying with Kylie Minogue. Speaking on Virgin Radio Pride, Kavana, above, whose new book Pop Scars is out now, said: 'I did actually go out with one of Madonna's dancers at one point. 'We had a long-distance affair from Rome to LA. Oh my God, that first heartbreak. 'He invited me to watch Madonna in Camden. I got put next to Kylie. "So I'm sat next to Kylie Minogue watching Madonna. I mean, could it get any more iconic?' The singer admitted he tried to make small talk with Kylie but ended up embarrassing himself. Don't worry, Kav – us on Bizarre have had our fair share of awkward celeb encounters, too.

#SHOWBIZ: Fans embrace Moodie-ness
Previous IT was one of those nights where everything just clicked: low lights, high spirits and a crowd buzzing with excitement at Zepp Kuala Lumpur. About 1,500 fans packed the venue recently, gathering for an experience that felt more like an intimate jam session than a stadium spectacle. By the end of the night, British pop artiste Henry Moodie, 21, made it clear this wasn't just another tour stop – it was a homecoming. Before the singer-songwriter even stepped onto the stage, the crowd received a surprise. Bradley Simpson, frontman of British pop-rock band The Vamps, strolled out at 7.30pm with a guitar slung over his shoulder, radiating ease and charisma. Welcomed like an old friend, Simpson serenaded the room with fan favourites, including a nostalgic sing-along to "Somebody to You". His six-song set was stripped back, soulful, and full of warmth – the perfect warm-up for what was to come. When Moodie emerged at 8.15pm, the atmosphere turned electric. The crowd, chanting his name, erupted as he launched into "Beat Up Car", one of his most popular tracks. With each lyric, it was clear: Malaysia had been waiting for this moment. "I've been here four times now. It does feel like coming home," Moodie said between songs, a wide smile on his face. That sentiment infused every note as he moved through a dreamy setlist, including "Indigo", "Bad Emotions", ' "Right Person Wrong Time" and "Pick Up The Phone". Fans sang every word, turning Zepp KL into a unified, beating heart of emotion. In true Moodie fashion, the night wasn't just about performance; it was about connection. Halfway through the show, he pulled out a giant die, each side featuring a pop icon, such as Adele, Taylor Swift, Coldplay, Billie Eilish, and Harry Styles. The roll landed on Adele, and Henry, settling at the piano, delivered a raw, heartfelt version of "Someone Like You". "Adele was who I grew up listening to. This one means a lot." Just when the crowd thought they'd seen it all, he slipped in a brand-new, unreleased track titled "Sunday Morning". A delicate, reflective tune, it captivated the room. Although no one had heard it before, fans picked up the melody, their voices rising in harmony – a spontaneous choir that moved him. "I was not expecting that," he said with a laugh, saying the fans had convinced him to release it sooner. But the night still had more in store. As the night drew to a close, Simpson rejoined Moodie onstage for a surprise duet of "Birds of a Feather" by Billie Eilish. Their voices intertwined effortlessly, their chemistry evident, giving fans a moment of musical magic. And just when the show seemed to end, chants of "Henry! Henry" brought him back for one last encore. The choice? "Drunk Text", a fan favourite. But this version came with another twist: Malaysian singer-songwriter Daiyan Trisha appeared mid-song to a roar of applause. Her graceful vocals blended with Henry's, creating an unexpected collaboration that brought the house down. The night wrapped with Henry thanking his tight-knit band – his guitarist and drummer – and, of course, the fans who made it all possible. The concert, part of his 2025 Asia Tour, was organised by Live Nation Malaysia. And truly, it was a night to remember. From surprise cameos to unreleased gems and impromptu karaoke, Moodie the artiste didn't just perform; he shared a piece of himself. As the lights dimmed and fans made their way out, there was a lingering feeling in the air that they had witnessed something rare, something real, something they'd talk about for a long time.

Henry Moodie talks fame, fan vibes, and Bradley Simpson's surprise appearance
KUALA LUMPUR, July 16 — British pop singer Henry Moodie is set to take the stage tonight at 8.00pm at Zepp KL, joined by special guest Bradley Simpson of British pop band The Vamps. Ahead of the highly anticipated concert, a press conference was held at Hilton KL, where Henry reflected on how life hasn't changed much since rising to fame as a TikTok star in 2022. 'I still have a similar friendship group, I still live at home with my parents, I guess the one thing that's changed is I'm much busier now and travelling a lot. 'My private life, I manage to keep it private, which I'm quite happy about. 'But I do feel like I live this double life, it is literally like Hannah Montana. 'So yeah, I guess Henry Montana,' he playfully told Malay Mail. Now on his fourth visit to Kuala Lumpur, Henry shared his appreciation for the fans and the city's landmarks. 'The earliest time we were here, we explored the Batu Caves, and explored around the Twin Towers. 'This time we can't get to see much of Malaysia, but I'm excited to keep coming back and keep exploring, because it's such a beautiful city. 'I also wanna see different parts of Malaysia, like go to an island, so it's cool to maybe one day branch out and see different things,' he added. At the press conference, Bradley also revealed the story behind teaming up with Henry for tonight's much-anticipated show. 'I've known Henry for years because he toured with our band, like four or five years ago. 'We became good friends and have written songs together. 'When he texted me saying he was doing a show and asked if I wanted to join, I said absolutely — I'd love to, and it would be really fun,' he said. He also shared some of his latest experiences in Malaysia. Bradley Simpson of British pop band The Vamps. — Picture by Firdaus Latif 'It's just so cool coming to the other side of the world, seeing the support of Malaysians,' he added, sharing that he tried banana leaf rice and had a short tour around Bangsar. Fresh off the debut of his solo album, released in February, The Panic Years, Bradley revealed that more music is on the way. 'I believe what's different with being in a band and a solo artist is that it's slightly quieter day to day. 'When it's with the band, we're all very loud, which is great. 'I think overall it's just slightly a different challenge in terms of music,' he added. Tonight's first stop of Henry's Asia tour is expected to be a highlight, with many local fans eager to experience the Henry vibe. Other stops on the tour include Bangkok, Taipei, Hong Kong and Tokyo, all of which have already sold out, while tickets for Shanghai and Seoul are selling fast. In addition to Bradley joining him on stage tonight, Henry shared that tonight's concert will include some unreleased tracks. 'Expect the performance at Zepp KL to be a group therapy vibe, we are all there singing the songs together, and I feel like I'm really gonna take it all in,' Henry added.

EXCLUSIVE Traitors favourite in new romance with boy band star as couple go Instagram official with sweet picture in Amsterdam
A Traitors star is in a new relationship with a boy band member and the couple has already gone Instagram official. Former Dancing On Ice contestant Mollie Pearce, 23, is dating The Vamps bassist Connor Ball, 29, and the couple affirmed their romance by going on a break together to Amsterdam. MailOnline revealed in October that Mollie, who rose to fame on season two of BBC One's The Traitors, had split from longterm boyfriend Max Backwell who she had been with for three years. But six months on from her breakup, the model has moved on with Connor after the couple connected at this year's Dancing On Ice wrap party. They were both at the TV bash after Connor appeared on the series in 2019 and Mollie finished in sixth place during this year's competition. The loved-up pair took a canal boat ride in Amsterdam where they posed for pictures together, smiling at the camera for the sweet selfie. A TV source told MailOnline: 'Mollie and Connor are in the early stages of dating and are loving getting to know each other. 'They felt ready to share their relationship on Instagram after holidaying together for the first time. 'It's been a few months since they met at the Dancing On Ice wrap party, where they first connected and now they're up for going public.' Mollie starred on the last ever series of Dancing On Ice with professional parter Colin Grafton before the programme, hosted by Holly Willoughby and Stephen Mulhern, was cancelled by ITV. The star competed on the show to raise awareness for the stoma bag community after having one fitted when she was 18, seven years after she was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. In an exclusive interview with MailOnline, Mollie, who was born without fingers on her right hand, spoke about her decision to signup to Dancing On Ice, saying she wanted to take the opportunity now that she isn't held back by poor health. She said: 'I have my health and the chance to do these things now. I would never have been able to do anything like this four years ago. I want to take all the opportunities I possibly can now and take it all in.' MailOnline has contacted Mollie's representatives for comment. In 2024, Mollie was humiliated by Traitors rival Harry Clark, who convinced her he was a fellow Faithful, when all along he was a Traitor, and his deceit saw him bag the £95,000 cash prize. Harry promised Mollie a sunshine holiday as a way to compensate his treachery but he did not deliver. The former co-stars were reunited at last week's BAFTA TV Awards after The Traitors was nominated in the Best Reality and Constructed Factual category.
