Rupert Grint and Matthew Lewis are probably two of our all-time fave Harry Potter stars – and we kinda love them even more after hearing about the big prank Rupert has been playing on Matthew.

Matthew (or Neville Longbottom, as we like to still call him) revealed on Twitter last month that his former co-star had been putting food on his tab at his favourite restaurant for a number of months. Cheeky.

And when he was on This Morning today, he was asked to explain the whole incident:

"I saw Rupert for the first time in a few years and we were in Orlando and he told me he had been going to this restaurant, and I said: 'That's one of my favourite restaurants', and he's like, 'I know', and I said, 'How would you know that?' and he said, 'That's because I've been putting all my food on your tab for several months!' .. It could have gone on forever – I would never have known!"

Ah, how we wish Ron and Neville were still up to no good… Those were the days.

As part of 48's Cheat at Life campaign, the network is helping you grab a bit of good Dublin grub from some of the best spots town has to offer.

According to Lovin Dublin, all you need to do is add 48 (forty8months) on Snapchat, send them a snap and tweet the photo using the hashtag #CheatatLife.

Then all you need to do is get yourself down to Aungier Danger or Boojum near Wexford Street to get your hands on some delicious treats.

As if Louis didn't have enough to handle with his new baby and career, the One Direction star has just rescued a couple who were stranded abroad after a horror road crash.

Britsth tourists Rhys Skyes and Sarah Liddle were backpacking around Vietnam when they crashed their motorbike on Valentine's Day and Sarah was left with a broken leg which left them unable to fly home.

The couple issued a crowdfunding campaign to try fly them home so Sarah could undergo urgent medical treatment.

According to The Mirror, Louis heard about the appeal and donated a massive sum of cash to cover the costs of their flights.

Louis is originally from the couple's hometown of Doncaster, which may be why the appeal struck him as it's close to home.

Sarah's aunt Julie said: "Louis heard about our appeal to get Rhys and Sarah home and his mum got in touch saying how upset he was to hear about what had happened and how he would like to help.

"He gave a very sizable donation to the fund and we would like to say a very big thank you to Louis and his family for being so kind."

The couple launched a cash appeal after being told a special evacuation flight would cost £15,000 (€19,350).

Sarah's jouney back to health still isn't over but at least she's at home with her family by her side.

Usually TV stars have no bother finding a little romance in their lives – but not for Ollie Locke.

The Made In Chelsea star has joined the dating app, Tinder in a bid to find the perfect partner.

The reality star flies under the name Obba and kept his profile quite simple, just saying, "A Londoner working in TV and writing around the world."

According to the Daily Star Online, Ollie has a few steamy snaps on his profile in hopes a special person might swipe right.

One photo sees him relaxing in bed with his pet dog and another is of him pouting in bed again but this time he's topless.

Mr Locke came out as bisexual on the E4 reality show but has proven unlucky in love after a number of failed relationships.

Hopefully he'll find true love on Tinder.

Well, it seems like Justin Bieber just found himself in another celebrity feud – and this time it's with UFC fighter Nate Diaz.

Justin decided to share his disappointment about Conor McGregor losing his fight on social media, admitting "that broke me heart" when the Irish fighter was defeated.

He added, "No bandwagon but Conor is a true champion, fights with style and finesse, all the respect to Nate but his style is terrible. Nate has crazy heart respect."

Well, Nate wasn't too happy about the Biebs supporting Conor and totally hit out at him. 

The fighter shared a photo on Instagram of him hitting Justin – in cartoon version – a captioned it "Biebers a hater."

Justin has yet to respond, but judging from his past feuds, there's no doubt he will.

It was meant to be a snap that caught Adele in all of her glory on stage – but instead it turned out to be an epic photobomb.

The cheeky singer saw a fan in the front row try to take an action shot so she perched down with a grin on her face, right in the middle of the photo.

The lucky woman who Adele photobombed told the Liverpool Echo: "I just couldn't believe it. She was going around the edge of the stage saying hello to people and interacting with the crowd and I just shouted at her.

"The whole night was amazing. We're both huge fans of Adele, even my kids Kyle and Ella absolutely love her – they sing along to Hello. She said my hair looked great. I just couldn't believe it."

This has made us love Adele even more now – she really cares for her fans but we just want to know how we can nab a selfie with her too.

Have you ever wanted to try out a new crazy hair-dye trend but were too afraid of what work, school or family would think? 

Well if you don't reckon you could get away with a pastel pink or blue hue in your locks, you need to try the hidden hair colour challenge. 

This wacky trend allows you to don any colour hair you want but it will only be revealed to others if you wear your hair in a certain way. 

The trend was popularised by Singaporean blogger Jaye Harkness back in 2015 who debuted a gorgeous array of blue colours in her hair that was only revealed when the social media star wore her hair half up. 

Every since then, women across the globe have been trying out the look for themselves with colourful strands of hair hiding beneath their natural colour. 

Whether revealed by a top knot, braid or half pony, this look is perfect for the girl looking to experiment without a drastic change to her look. 

Could you pull it off?

We all fell in love with the Portokalos family from My Big Fat Greek Wedding – and now the second instalment is about to hit our screens.

You know the deal, when you're single you can't avoid a million family members asking when you're going to settle down and find the right person.

Well, the original romantic comedy was centred around just that as 30-year-old Toula was still unmarried and her parents were freaking out.

But then Toula fell in love with Ian (swoon), a hot and handsome teacher, and the big fat Greek wedding was underway!

This time round the Portokalos are coming back bigger and better than ever – and this movie is guaranteed to have a great few laughs.

Toula now has a grown daughter, and her big Greek family will not stop following her around (we know the feeling!).

But as one problem is solved, another one pops up – and it's going to surprise you all. 

Watch the trailer now – you're going to be mega excited about it when you see the beloved Portokalos family together again.

See you at the cinema on March 25th…

While he was busy trying it on with Megan McKenna in the Big Brother house, rumours were circulating outside that Scotty T actually had a secret girlfriend. 

And he never really cleared up those rumours. 

He has admitted that his lifestyle and job doesn't allow for relationships but the Geordie Shore looked pretty cozy with Fashion Marketing student Francesca Toole on her Instagram so what was really going on? 

"I met a girl, I get on well with her. She supported me all through Big Brother, she knows my mum, and we get on well," said the star to Digital Spy. 

"We're not in a relationship or anything like that. It wouldn't be fair for me to be in a relationship just because of the job i have.

"Not because I'm out on the pull all the time just because I'm never at home.

"As soon as you brand it as a relationship, people start looking for things. Like if I go on a public appearance and girls want a kiss and I'll kiss them on the lips and people will say, 'that's cheating.'

 

Patience is a virtue

"Don't get me wrong, if I wasn't in this position I would be with her but we get on so well the way we are."

However, he did admit that the pair remained close.

"Don't get me wrong, I speak to her every day, but I can't commit, because if I have a girlfriend I'm going to want to see her every day, but I can't because I'm busy."
