In January, Sky customers were warned that their Paramount+ access would now be ad-based.
Sky Cinema subscribers get access to Paramount+ at no extra cost.
However, the change strangely didn't include an option to upgrade for those wanting to avoid the ads.
But thanks to a new update, Sky customers can now choose an ad-free option instead.
What's more, customers get money off compared to subscribing directly to Paramount+.
"Finally no ads so I can get back to watching South Park and Nobland with no interuptions!" one viewer wrote on Sky's forum.
"This is good news," another commented.
Sky customers can subscribe to Paramount+ standard - which has no ads - for £3 extra per month.
Usually, the standard plan costs £7.99 per month.
For those who want 4K quality as well as a screen allowance boost and no ads, it's £6 extra.

That's instead of the £10.99 you would have to pay for it directly.
Sky Cinema costs £10 per month and comes with two free cinema tickets for Vue Cinemas each month.

Michelle Keegan rakes in a huge six figure sum while on maternity leave after welcoming first child

Michelle Keegan has raked in a huge six figure sum while on maternity leave, accounts showed on Friday. The actress and her husband, both 38, are thought to have a combined net worth of £20 million and welcomed their first child, a daughter name Palma in March. Despite taking some time away from work, Michelle has managed to increase her net worth by £441,082. According to Companies House her company Rosia Promotions is now worth a staggering £4,032,277. The company has £3,473,623 in cash and £610,370 in property. Elsewhere, the actress has reportedly signed a six-figure advertising deal to become the new face of Sky. The deal is Michelle's first major job since she gave birth to her daughter and she will film a series of promo clips with fellow British actor Idris Elba, who already appears as the 'face'. A source told The Sun: 'Michelle has really been enjoying maternity leave with Palma, but she'll be back to work soon to film these new adverts for Sky. ' Brassic is ending after the seventh series and Michelle is keen to still be a part of the Sky brand. 'Landing this ad is huge for Michelle, as she's fast becoming a brand in her own right. Everything she touches seems to turn to gold.' After leaving ITV soap Corrie in 2014, Michelle's career took off, with hits such as BBC military drama Our Girl, Sky's Brassic and BBC's Australian drama Ten Pound Poms. Last year, she had the starring role as Maya Stern in Netflix's Harlan Coben thriller Fool Me Once - which racked up more than 100 million views globally. Mark first appeared on TV in the reality show TOWIE in 2010 and continued making a name for himself in others such as I'm A Celebrity and Strictly Come Dancing, which led to him presenting American entertainment news programme EXTRA for three years. Although he's earned around £5 million for his TV work, and has £1 million endorsement deals with Littlewoods and Marks & Spencer, the bulk of his fortune has been made from investing in property via his company Chigwell Properties Ltd. He's now a Heart FM DJ, too. His Essex portfolio includes five rental properties worth £6.5 million, as well as the £3.5 million Epping Forest mansion he shares with wife Michelle and their baby Palma. Michelle and Mark have been enjoying their time as parents and have been sharing small glimpses of Palma on their social media accounts. It's believed the couple chose the name Palma because of their strong links to Mallorca, which has been their go-to holiday destination for years and the setting for their pregnancy reveal photoshoot.

Michelle Keegan raking in six figures while on maternity leave making £8k a week

Former Coronation Street actress Michelle Keegan gave birth to her first child in March of this year alongside husband Mark Wright, with the happy couple raking it in during the new mum's maternity leave Michelle Keegan is reportedly raking in six figures while on she's maternity leave as she's able to make £8,000 a week. The actress gave birth to her first daughter Palma back in March but it's thought that she can still make money while not taking on new acting projects. The new mum reportedly raked in a huge £441,082 while she was pregnant which brings her net worth to more than £4million in total. Michelle's performing arts firm Rosie Promotions' filings show that Michelle was raking the money in while she was off on maternity leave. ‌ Accounts filed at Companies House show that she made the equivalent of £8,482 per week for the year up to September 30, 2024. This increases the net worth of the company to £4,032,277 after bills. ‌ The Sun reports that the firm has £3,473,623 in cash and £610,370 in property which includes a flat in Altrincham which was bought in 2022. Michelle made £280,000 in her firm's first year of trading and she exceeded £2 million in 2021 before £3 million in 2023. Another way Michelle makes money is by co-directing clothing business Mysa Active with her husband Mark Wright. Michelle has reportedly landed a six-figure deal to become the new face of Sky. It's thought that the star will film promo clips alongside fellow British actor Luther star Idris Elba. She managed to bag the deal after she has been a Sky staple in her comedy Brassic which is one of the most popular series on the channel. A source said: "Michelle has really been enjoying maternity leave with Palma, but she'll be back to work soon to film these new adverts for Sky. She has signed a six-figure deal for the job and is thrilled to have been chosen to appear alongside Idris, who has been their 'face'. ‌ "Brassic is ending after the seventh series and Michelle is keen to still be a part of the Sky brand. Landing this ad is huge for Michelle, as she's fast becoming a brand in her own right. Everything she touches seems to turn to gold." Michelle has found fame over the years through her acting career. She is best known for her roles on Coronation Street and Our Girl. However, being a famous actress wasn't always on the cards for Michelle. She didn't have any plans when she first left school and found herself working at Selfridges in the Trafford Centre on a make-up counter and at Manchester Airport as a check-in agent. But this didn't last for long as she them turned her hand to acting and she found success soon after. She secured first acting appearance on Coronation Street when she was offered the role of Tina McIntyre after just her second audition as an actress.
