Watch moment Love Island's Harrison takes savage swipe at villa couple and says there's ‘no chance' they will win
LOVE Island stars Harrison and Lauren have given their honest review on the couples still inside the villa – and it is brutal. The dumped pair appeared on Capital Xtra this morning to talk about their fellow islanders, and who could make it to the finale as it draws closer. 6 6 6 6 In a savage takedown of the remaining couples, Harrison said he hopes Harry wins the show – but doesn't think he will. Giving their top three, Harrison said: "Harry and Helena, D[ejon] and Meg second and then Shakira and Con. I think that would be my top three, if I could choose." Lauren agreed and added: "That would be my top three, probably. Maybe change to Yas and Jamie for third, but I don't think that's who I think will win." "Zero chance, absolutely zero chance!" laughed Harrison. Both agreed that they thought Toni and Cach will win. "I think Yaz and Jamie will be there, up there as well," noted Harriosn. "But yeah, H and Helen, D and Meg, yeah, no good. There's no chance at all. "I would like to see them win, of course, because there my boys in there." Lauren added: "Helena and Harry, I do think they get on, but I just think they're not very serious, and I think on the outside, Harry would be a little s**t." Harrison laughed before adding, "Yeah, fair enough!" The comments come as the race to the finish line heats up for those inside the villa. 6 6

The Couple Next Door finale review — the swingers go ludicrous
When I reviewed the first episode of The Couple Next Door (Channel 4) I wrote approvingly that it seemed as if it might be a little less crazed than series one and its swinger neighbours. That'll teach me. The finale was completely, utterly off its head. Watching it was like fever-dreaming after a night on the cheese and port plus a tab of LSD. Were we really expected to believe that Jacob (Sam Palladio), the mild-mannered, slightly dull anaesthetist, would turn overnight into a mad, conniving wife-killer because he feared being exposed for making a clinical error in not giving a patient potassium, which caused his death? Or something. Yes, Jacob probably would go to prison for framing the hot nurse Mia (Aggy K Adams) for it, but please. Would he really try to murder the love of his life just because she said she'd sussed him? He took her to the partly built new hospital wing and gave her coffee laced with morphine … in the middle of a busy day at work! Hello? What about cameras? And why were there conveniently no workmen there, even though the building was still being finished? 'It'll be over soon,' he said like a true baddie as Charlotte (Annabel Scholey) staggered like a shot stag and he used her phone to write a fake suicide note. • The Couple Next Door review — C4's hottest drama is still shameless 'You're having a breakdown!' she managed to say before passing out, a ludicrous bit of exposition. These four words supposedly explained his complete character change to instant psychopath. If this is what real hospitals are like — medics popping illegal pills and altering patient records, senior doctors having threesomes with the sexy new nurse from Norway — no wonder you can't get your hip replacement. This scene was even more preposterous than the one earlier in the series when Charlotte passed out on the sofa after too much wine and Jacob and Mia had sex on a chair 2ft away when his wife could have woken at any second. What a pity Alan the pervert (Hugh Dennis) didn't have his telescope out that night. The content would have sustained him for weeks. Actually I'll say this for The Couple Next Door, which is based on the Dutch series Nieuwe Buren: there aren't many series that would make the local peeping Tom the hero and have his voyeurism save the day. If he hadn't been training his big instrument on Mia in her house, he wouldn't have seen that she was being terrorised by her former therapist, with his terrible man bun and who had abused her as a traumatised teenager, and managed to save her. Dirty old man in woolly hat comes good! Actually, Alan was the best character in it, having been in the first series a completely unlikeable perv who treated his wife selfishly. In this series he found his redemption by showing shame, contrition and genuine kindness to Charlotte's dementia-suffering father, Henry (Jeff Rawle). There was even a sniff of romance with Yvonne (Tanya Moodie) and the possibility that he would look after Henry while Charlotte went off to do good works in Mozambique (don't ask), presumably while Jacob rotted in jail, something she seemed to get over pretty sharpish. • Read more TV reviews, guides about what to watch and interviews Just when I thought it couldn't get any more ludicrous it ended with Mia in Antwerp working as a tour guide wearing a ridiculous wig and eyeing up the next couple she was going to seduce into a throuple. Hilarious. You're probably thinking: surely they can't wring another sex and swingers series out of Appleby Drive, Leeds? (Yes, I know it looks more like a suburb of LA.) Oh, I think they probably can. I just pray that next time it isn't the newly reformed Alan throwing his car keys in the fruit bowl.★★☆☆☆ Love TV?

CBS Cancels Stephen Colbert's ‘Late Show,' Citing Costs
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert will air its last episode in May of next year, marking the end of the franchise, Paramount Global's CBS network said. Colbert, who has hosted the program for a decade, announced the show's end during a taping on Thursday. He said he learned about the network's decision the day before. Colbert replaced comedian David Letterman, who created and hosted the program for 22 years. 'This is purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night,' CBS executives said in a joint statement. 'It is not related in any way to the show's performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount.' Audience members at the Thursday taping booed at the news of the show's demise. 'I'm not getting replaced,' Colbert said in an Instagram clip of his announcement, where he thanked all his supporters. 'This is all just going away.' Bloomberg News Media and Entertainment Editor Felix Gillette reports. (Source: Bloomberg)

Soap star Alan Fletcher says Neighbours is finishing ‘at its peak'
Actor Alan Fletcher said Neighbours is coming to an end while the Australian soap is 'at its peak'. The programme had its final day of filming earlier this month after its two-year Prime Video revival which followed it being dropped from broadcast by Channel 5 in 2022. Fletcher, 68, who has played Dr Karl Kennedy for 30 years, said it is 'fair to say' he is now more famous in the UK than Australia due to the popularity of the show here. He told ITV's Good Morning Britain (GMB): 'It's extremely popular. It sits in the top five programmes (on Amazon). View this post on Instagram A post shared by Neighbours (@neighbours) 'Amazon gave us an extra 400 episodes, and we are eternally grateful. 'I have to say to you, when we finished filming, rather than the sadness we had the first time, I sat back and thought, 'Do you know what? We've been given the opportunity to make the best Neighbours we ever could have made'. 'That's where we finished up. I reckon Neighbours is at its peak.' The cast wrapped filming on July 11 at Nunawading Studios and the soap's final broadcast after 40 years will be in December. The programme, which launched the careers of Kylie Minogue, Jason Donovan, Margot Robbie and Guy Pearce among others, has followed the lives of people living and working in the fictional Melbourne suburb of Erinsborough since 1985. Neighbours was dropped by Channel 5 in 2022 after it failed to secure new funding, with a finale episode in July that year attracting an average audience of 2.5 million when several well-known characters returned to the show to say goodbye. The soap's return was announced in late 2022, with a social media clip featuring some of the characters being told the news. In February this year it was announced the programme would end after reports production company Fremantle failed to secure a deal with Amazon.
