Lol, same. Having a laugh at being chronically ignored by every man you’ve ever known is all good fun until you realise that you’re going to be alone forever but hey, let’s make a Halloween costume out of it while we’re here! It’s funny ’cause it’s ghosted.  Get it? Like a ghost. Great. And if […]

He’s back. Everybody remembers their first Louis Theroux documentary. That moment when you accidentally left on the telly that little bit longer after Blue Planet and thought, ‘Hey, who’s this tall, intelligent man wandering around LA or a porn set or another porn set because he does a lot of documentaries about porn? He’s great, […]

Could the man get any more perfect, like? Idris Elba is a man of many talents. He’s a class actor. He’s a good DJ. He’s probably a really good cook because he’s got the face of somebody who would be. And if someone were to ask us what would be the one thing Idris Elba […]

Ah, fake tan. The teenage staple of any dodgy underage disco, questionable pre-drinks in a field, or family event where Aunty Mary keeps asking you if you’ve met any nice boys lately. By association then, fake tan made its appearance in secondary school around the country – whether it was permitted or not. And whether […]

Ah, god. If you haven’t seen the video of Prince Harry giving the awkward air kiss to the woman yet, then you must be living under a rock. … Or you just don’t really care about the affairs of the royal family and whether or not they, on occasion, fail at normal social interactions from […]

C’mon, like. There are other ways to make a show exciting without a load of death, lads. Whatever, we’re still going to be watching it. Cast your mind back a few months or years or whatever it was and you might remember that Moira Dingle pushed Emma Barton off a bridge in a very dramatic […]

We’ve been sent good weather… And this mildly inappropriate Halloween costume. A ‘sexy’ Handmaid’s Tale Halloween costume has been recalled due to the severe amount of backlash it received online.

Look, we know – it wouldn’t be Coronation Street without a bit of drama. But surely serial killers, multiple deaths, kidnappings, and cases of mistaken identity are enough, no?

V emosh, altogether. If you went on a date with Prince Harry, there’s probably a couple of things you would do.

Grim. There’s honestly nothing worse than noticing that your computer is slowing down. Not getting locked out of your house, not accidentally leaving the oven on for the day, not realising that somebody ate your sandwich. Nothing.

A woman who begged the parents of her so-called “best friend” to let her attend her wedding has been told she can’t go.

TV or sex? If the latest series of The Crown is on, the answer to the above may seem pretty obvious… (or not, depending on who you’re talking to and whether they fully appreciate Matt Smith’s stunningly laddish portrayal of Prince Phillip.)

Look, we’ve all experienced rejection. Whether through text or via carrier pigeon, having someone tell you they’re just not that into you is a fairly chronic feeling.
