Love Is Blind fans, we have lots of great news for you! 

After the intense fourth season of the hit Netflix series, it has now been confirmed that we will be reuniting with season four’s biggest characters once again.

At the end of the reality show’s fourth season, viewers watched three couples say ‘I Do’ at the end of the altar. 

During the subsequent reunion episode, the Love Is Blind cast caught up with the world and confirmed that couples Kwame Appiah and Chelsea Griffin, Brett Brown and Tiffany Pennywell, and Zack Goytowski and Bliss Poureetezadi are still happily married.

Unfortunately, love was not enough for Micah Lussier and Paul Peden, as Paul turned her down at the altar. Meanwhile, Marshall Glaze never made it to the aisle with Jackie Glaze, as she called off their engagement and chose to start a romance with Josh Demas.

Now, five months on from their season launch, the season four cast have rejoined again for Love Is Blind’s ‘After The Altar’ reunion series.

While the trailer does seem to showcase our three married couples still in wedded bliss, it looks as though there will still be tons of drama around.

The video hints at intense reunions for Micah, Paul, Marshall and Jackie, as well as the return of Irina Solomonova, who received criticism from viewers for her behaviour towards her co-stars.

Love Is Blind: After The Altar is due to arrive on Netflix next week on September 1 – but that’s not all! With their unveiling of the After The Altar trailer, Netflix also confirmed that season five of Love Is Blind will launch exactly three weeks later, on September 22.

The cast of Love Is Blind season five has yet to be revealed, but we can’t wait to find out who they are!

We finally have a first look at the upcoming ‘Wagatha Christie’ documentary!

The case first took the world by storm in October 2019, when Coleen Rooney went on Instagram and accused her fellow WAG Rebekah Vardy of selling stories about her to a tabloid newspaper.

Then, the nation was gripped last summer when Rebekah took Coleen to trial in an intense libel battle. In the end, the wife of Leicester City footballer Jamie Vardy lost her case, and was ordered by the judge to pay 90% of Coleen’s legal fees.

Now, one year on from the riveting court case, Disney+ has finally released a first look at its upcoming documentary on the trial.

Titled Coleen Rooney: The Real Wagatha Story, the docuseries will focus on Coleen’s perspective of the case. Over the course of three episodes, viewers not only will discover an insight into the well-known trial, but they will also be given access into Coleen’s life and marriage with her husband, Wayne Rooney.

Earlier today, the streaming service chose to release three teaser images ahead of the highly-anticipated docuseries.

Two of the snaps portray 37-year-old Coleen sat down in court, as she prepares for the two-week-long case.

Meanwhile, the third image showcases the mum-of-four walking through court buildings in a sleek black suit.

The documentary is the second time that the ‘Wagatha Christie’ story will be playing out on our TV screens in recent months.

In December 2022, Channel 4 produced a dramatised version of the tale, titled Vardy v Rooney: A Courtroom Drama. The two-part drama starred This Is England’s Chanel Cresswell as Coleen, while Harry Potter star Natalia Tena took up the role of Rebekah.

Production of Coleen Rooney: The Real Wagatha Story was first confirmed in August 2022. While a launch date for the documentary has not yet been announced, fans are hoping it could air before the end of the year.

The Madeley and Haskell families have been celebrating!

Chloe Madeley and James Haskell’s daughter, Bodhi, marked her first birthday on August 10, and the two families recently came together to honour the special occasion.

Now, in an interview with OK!, the doting parents have opened up about how they chose to celebrate Bodhi’s first year of life.

Personal trainer Chloe made sure that her daughter’s day would be one to remember, as her loved ones came together for an underwater-themed party at the family's home.

Chloe’s parents, TV duo Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan, were on hand to help out with the celebrations, while former rugby star James was in charge of barbecue duties.

“I really enjoyed organising it. We had loads of balloons – at least 300 – with decorated archways. And there was a candy cart for the other kids that came,” Chloe gushed as she recalled the fun-filled party.

“Chloe did an amazing job. We invited my parents, Chloe’s parents, Chloe’s brother and some of our best friends and their children. It’s not often we can all get together,” James praised.

The 36-year-old mum then went on to joke about how she had planned to create some adorable snaps of daughter Bodhi messily eating some birthday cake, but her efforts quickly failed.

“She pushed her little fingers in the cake and then she looked at it, tried a bit of it and then it was over. She didn’t want to do the full cake smash. She’s no daughter of mine!” Chloe laughed.

Finally, the married couple revealed what they chose to gift Bodhi for her first birthday.

“[James] ended up buying a £200 parental remote control Lamborghini! I think that’s extortionate for a first birthday gift, but Bodhi absolutely loves it,” Chloe explained. 

“I gave her a little pink push bike. She can’t quite figure it out yet, but she’ll get there. And I also got her a little musical mat,” she concluded.

Gardaí are appealing for witnesses to come forward after four people were held against their will and one of them was hospitalised following an aggravated burglary. 

Investigations are ongoing after an aggravated burglary and false imprisonment that occurred at a home in Monkstown, Co. Dublin on Monday, August 21, 2023.

At approximately 8.15am, a number of men that were dressed as workers knocked on the door of a residential property on Carrickbrennan Lawn. The men then forced their way into the house and held the four occupants against their will. 

An elderly man, aged in his 70’s, was assaulted during the incident. He was transferred to St. Vincent’s University Hospital for treatment, where his injuries are said to be non-life threatening.

The men, who took a number of items during the burglary, left the scene on foot in the direction of Monkstown village.

Gardaí in Dún Laoghaire are appealing to anybody who may have witnessed this incident to contact them.

Derry Girls fans, listen up!

The hit comedy’s creator and writer, Lisa McGee, has announced that she has a brand new TV show in the works.

Lisa is once again collaborating with broadcaster Channel 4 on an eight-part comedy-thriller series, titled How To Get To Heaven From Belfast.

Just like Derry Girls, Lisa’s new series will be set in Northern Ireland, and will follow three women – Saoirse, Robyn and Dara. The thirty-somethings lead very different lives in Belfast, after being friends since their school days.

“When the women each receive an email informing them of the death of Greta, an old classmate they were once very close with, there's clearly some unspoken, unfinished business. The friends decide to attend Greta's wake and discover all may not be quite as it seems,” Channel 4 teases in the series’ official logline.

The series has been described as being “not so much a ‘whodunit’ as a ‘what the hell happened’”, and promises to take viewers on a journey across the island of Ireland.

Casting announcements for How To Get To Heaven From Belfast have not yet been made, but fans can expect more news to come in the months ahead.

Following confirmation of the show’s production, creator Lisa took to Twitter to make a teasing reference to Derry Girls.

“There is a character from Derry in it before I get banned from the old hometown,” she exclaimed.

News of Lisa’s new venture comes just over a year after the finale of Derry Girls aired on Channel 4. 

Rumours of a future reunion have been rife since its conclusion. Actress Jamie-Lee O’Donnell, who played Michelle Mallon in the sitcom, recently admitted to OK! that she would “love” a return to Derry Girls.

“I would assume that Lisa is just taking the time to enjoy what it is we’ve done with the three seasons and I know everybody’s really busy. So if there was a reunion, I think it would be well down the line,” the 36-year-old explained, adding that “actors are the last to know”.

It appears as though Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti are back together!

Earlier this summer, fans of the 2022 Love Island winners were devastated when Davide announced that their relationship had ended. 

Both reality stars have since opened up about their breakup, with Ekin-Su writing just last week that the pair were “on good terms, we both care about each other.”

However, despite their public split, Love Island fans began to theorise that the Turkish actress and Italian model were back together, as they were spotted leaving ITV’s Summer Party together.

Now, less than two months after their romance came to an end, the stars have seemingly confirmed that their relationship is back on!

Yesterday was Ekin-Su’s 29th birthday, and to mark the special occasion, the pair embarked on a lavish holiday to her native Turkey.

On his Instagram stories last night, Davide posted a snap of himself enjoying a romantic meal outside, before the 28-year-old turned the camera on Ekin-Su to reveal that she was his dinner date.

“Despite all the storms, I wanted to make this day special for you.. Enjoy the moment, make a wish, and blow hard. Happy birthday @ekinsuofficial,” Davide penned, alongside a stunning shot of Ekin-Su raising a glass of champagne and posing with a birthday dessert.

Ekin-Su later re-shared the photo on her own Instagram account, with a message which read: “Surprising me like always, thank you for a good birthday”.

Many fans of the former Love Island champions have since taken their cryptic messages and beautiful dinner date as a hint that they have rekindled their relationship.

“Is anyone really surprised?? They literally won their season for giving us several weeks of this behaviour,” one fan joked on Twittter, referring to the couple’s frequent bickering on the ITV dating show.

“Mom and dad are back together? Yay,” another teased.

However, several fans are convinced that the stars solely met up as friends, with one arguing: “Not just getting dinner and celebrating her?”

Ekin-Su and Davide have yet to comment further on their relationship.
