Popular film franchise spin-off descends into chaos as stars and crew are wiped out with food poisoning
Something's afoot on the set of Millie Bobby Brown's latest Sherlock Holmes spin–off Enola Holmes — and it's not been pretty.
I'm told that after the cast and crew headed to Malta for filming, the set descended into chaos after a bit of dodgy catering wiped some of them out with food poisoning.

My mole said: ' Millie and her co-stars were in the middle of filming when people started to get sick.
'It's a nightmare because these productions run to such tight schedules and filming had to be stopped.
'There were a fair few affected and it meant everything had to grind to a halt until they got better.
'It ended up being a bout of food poisoning which is just really unfortunate. Luckily it wasn't anything too serious and everyone recovered but it put pressure on them in terms of hitting deadlines.'
Millie confirmed she was returning as Enola, the younger sister of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's famous fictional character Sherlock, earlier this year.
Henry Cavill is back in place as the consulting detective, while Himesh Patel is in as his sidekick Dr Watson and Louis Partridge resumes his role as Enola's love interest Viscount Tewkesbury.
Helena Bonham Carter is reprising her role as Eudoria Holmes and Sharon Duncan-Brewster is continuing as the evil Moriarty.
Millie's first two films as Enola for Netflix proved to be massive hits, with the first in 2020 being watched in 76 million households in the first four weeks alone.
She confirmed they would be starting the film this spring, with the production taking place in London and Malta, where the third instalment is set.
According to the latest blurb put out by Netflix to hype up the movie, Millie's Enola will be seen tackling another mystery, in Malta, where she is 'flung into a nest of vipers'.
I doubt the plot twist of them coming down with the tom t*ts will make the final cut.
Thigh oh my, Ciara
Ciara needs to get on to the fashion police because it looks like someone's been at her jeans with a pair of scissors.
The Goodies singer was seen in New York in the out-there outfit with friends.

Ciara is no stranger to pushing the boundaries with her clobber and previously said: 'Fashion's important for me as an artist – it gives me so much opportunity and range to express myself, and I do feel my most confident self when I'm wearing pieces that I love.
'As you put on a look that you love, it does something to you.'
Answers on a postcard for this one, please.
Janet's bit Of Rauw right
Puerto Rican star Rauw Alejandro got the seal of approval from Janet Jackson when he headlined London's O2 Arena on Tuesday.
She shared a string of Instagram stories and called him 'sexy', before heading backstage to meet and be pictured with him.
He has worked with everyone from Selena Gomez and Pharrell Williams to Shakira, but I bet he was still starstruck.
Benson Boone has revealed that Katy Perry told him quitting American Idol as a contestant was a great move.
The Beautiful Things singer, who left in 2022 before the live rounds started, revealed to Radio 2's Scott Mills that judge Katy was super-proud of his decision, adding: 'She said leaving that show was the best thing you ever did.' Praise indeed.
Will's not In tune to Madge
Madonna collaborator William Orbit has slammed her upcoming remix album, Veronica Electronica.
The record, out next month, features rare and unreleased remixes from her hit Ray Of Light album, which he produced.
The record, released in 1998, was seen as a pivotal moment for them both – but he's not happy about the reworking.
He said: 'The whole thing felt like a knock-off. It's not, that's just my personal impression. But given how much the Ray of Light album has meant to so many of us, there could be something really wonderful.
'It would be great if the person at the label who selected these tracks stood up. With a rebuttal for some rigorous debate.'
Ouch.
Over to you, Madge.
Skye's no limit for Ekin-Su
Ekin-Su Culculoglu swapped her heels for a pair of walking boots to complete a fundraising trek across the Isle of Skye in Scotland for charity CoppaFeel.
She finished the 100km trek today after five days of walking, which included tackling peaks of more than 3,000ft.
It was for a good cause, as CoppaFeel is a youth-focused breast cancer awareness charity that encourages us all to check our boobs.
The former Love Islander, left, told me she was looking forward to 'experiencing something unforgettable' and I can imagine she didn't mean the aches and pains she and her fellow trekkers Candice Brown and Giovanna Fletcher are no doubt feeling right now.
They're not far off their £450,000 target, too, so if you want to support them and donate, visit coppafeel.org.
Denise lives her dream
Denise Van Outen has landed her biggest DJ set to date after bagging herself a slot at Glastonbury festival.
Insiders have told us that the telly presenter will be spinning the decks for fans at a secret location on Worthy Farm next week.

A source said: 'Denise has made a real name for herself as a DJ and she's been booked for gigs all over the world but to play Glastonbury is a dream come true.
'She is planning a really nostalgic set with loads of Nineties hits that will get everyone dancing.'
Back in 2023, Denise began hosting what she described as an 'inclusive party' called Discoliscious with her best pal Jemma Bolt, which they have held up and down the UK.
The ex-Big Breakfast host said: 'I think a lot of music from then has really stood the test of time, and I guess a lot of people that were out partying in the Nineties, we are at an age now where perhaps we've had kids and started families – and you reminisce about the time when you were young, free and single and just having a really good time.'
She added: 'When I DJ, I don't party. I'm watching everybody else partying. I get a buzz from playing the music, but I'm not out having a wild time like maybe I did when I was younger.'
Trust me, Denise, once you get a whiff of the toilets you'll be necking a medicinal gin and tonic faster than you can say, 'That stinks'.
McFlying In on their motorbikes
Obviously there's no better week to get back into the studio than when the weather is scorching hot.
And while most of us are sunning ourselves outside, the McFly boys have started work on new music ahead of their upcoming tour.

My exclusive snaps show Tom Fletcher, Dougie Poynter and Danny Jones arriving at a recording studio in London on their motorbikes before getting to work.
The lads are fitting in the sessions around their live dates, with concerts in Gloucestershire and Southampton this weekend before they kick off their Busted Versus McFly tour in Birmingham on September 16.
Their seventh studio, Power To Play, went to No2 when they released it two years ago – and I've no doubt McFly are cooking up some more magic right now.
Didn't bring Hus down
'Anything I do, you know I do it major,' J Hus raps on the title track to the album Big Conspiracy, which he is celebrating the fifth anniversary of with a one-off gig.
That feels true, with tickets for the Royal Albert Hall concert selling out in seconds when they went on sale last month and an orchestra now ready and waiting on stage for his grand return.
It has been years since he played a headline set and when he emerges, he is full of beans. But he seems frantic as he races through songs and jumps around the stage.
The crowd lap it up, excited to be in the presence of one of the best British rappers for years, and when J, right, does lock in, his verses are immaculate.
Big Conspiracy won him Best Male at the 2021 Brits in 2021, but the fans go wild when tracks from his debut Common Sense are performed. But Hus has disappeared backstage and it is a backing vocalist rapping in his place.
J Hus is overflowing with talent and could put on an incredible show. I'm really hoping this gig has persuaded him to do just that.

Shock moment Harry tries to break up Love Island couple telling girl ‘you're The One'
Mollie Quirk, Senior Showbiz Reporter Published: Invalid Date, A VILLA hunk tried to break up a Love Island couple telling the girl 'you're The One' in a shocking moment. During Friday night's episode, Harry seemingly made a move on an old flame after smooching Yasmin last night. 4 4 4 At the start of the series, Harry had his sights set on Shakira before he snuck out of the bedroom and had a steamy night with Helena. Things then ended between Harry and Shakira, though he did tell her he thought they would have "unfinished business". After coupling up with Helena, things seemed to be going well before his head got turned by new girl Yasmin. This week, Harry had some steamy chats with Yasmin, with the pair even sneaking off to the hideaway during the day for a snog. But now Harry is keen for his old flame, Shakira, who he seems to have "unfinished business" with - as he previously predicted. In tonight's episode, Harry made a move for Shakira again and even told her she's "The One". Pulling Shakira for a chat, Harry asks how she's feeling. "Initially, you were number one for me," Harry said in a candid way to the stunning brunette. He then said that he doesn't think he would do the things he does if they were together, because she "wouldn't stand for it". "It was you," Shakira confessed, "And still is you. But it's your behaviour for me that I can't tolerate." Love Island first look: Are Harry and Shakira back on the cards? Harry then admitted that he wanted to spend some more time with her and rekindle what they had at the start. "If that could possibly be arranged?" he pleaded. Shakira then said: "It could be arranged." Love Island 2025 full lineup Harry Cooksley: A 30-year-old footballer with charm to spare. Shakira Khan: A 22-year-old Manchester-based model, ready to turn heads. Megan Moore: A payroll specialist from Southampton, looking for someone tall and stylish. Alima Gagigo: International business graduate with brains and ambition. Tommy Bradley: A gym enthusiast with a big heart.

Megan Clarke: An Irish actress already drawing comparisons to Maura Higgins. Dejon Noel-Williams: A personal trainer and semi-pro footballer, following in his footballer father's footsteps. Aaron Buckett: A towering 6'5' personal trainer. Conor Phillips: A 25-year-old Irish rugby pro. Antonia Laites: Love Island's first bombshell revealed as sexy Las Vegas pool party waitress. Yasmin Pettet: The 24-year-old bombshell hails from London and works as a commercial banking executive. Malisha Jordan: A teaching assistant from Broxbourne, Hertfordshire, who entered Love Island 2025 as a bombshell. Emily Moran: Bombshell Welsh brunette from the same town as Love Island 2024 alumni Nicole Samuel. Shea Mannings: Works as a scaffolder day-to-day and plays semi-pro football on the side. Remell Mullins: Boasts over 18million likes and 500k followers on TikTok thanks to his sizzling body transformation videos. Harrison Solomon: Pro footballer and model entering Love Island 2025 as a bombshell. Departures: Kyle Ashman: Axed after an arrest over a machete attack emerged. He was released with no further action taken and denies any wrongdoing. Sophie Lee: A model and motivational speaker who has overcome adversity after suffering life-changing burns in an accident. Blu Chegini: A boxer with striking model looks, seeking love in the villa. "Shakira and Ben were my favourites. Even Shakiras mum said she doesn't like Harry." A second added: "I've said all along half of Harry's behaviour is because he doesn't want to be with Helena he wants Shakira." While a third penned: "Harry is such a player. I would not trust him a thing he says." The brunette beauty is currently coupled up with Ben, though things between the pair haven't been great of late. Ben has made some comments to Shakira that have proved to be problematic. At the beginning of the series, he chose another girl and said it "humbled" Shakira when he did so.
