TV tonight: Noel Edmonds shows off his unusual new life in New Zealand
9pm, ITV1Noel Edmonds is an unusual man. On the face of it, this series simply documents his attempts to open a bar-restaurant in New Zealand with his wife, Liz. But the fun is in the journey not the arrival. Edmonds is obsessed with new-age woo, spending time on his 'crystal bed' and practising a workout regime he calls 'tranquil power'. He's also startlingly excited about his nail gun, calling it 'a sex toy', and regards Liz as 'an earth angel' believing she was 'a gift from the cosmos'. An eccentric cult classic in the making. Phil Harrison From 7pm, Sky ArtsWith Glastonbury a week away, warm up with a trip to Seaclose Park, home of the Isle of Wight festival. The Lottery Winners kick off the TV coverage followed by the Corrs. Other highlights include Justin Timberlake, Jess Glynne, Sting, Stereophonics and more. PH 8.30pm, BBC One'You all right bab?!' This series has accelerated Hammond's unstoppable trajectory towards national treasure status. It ends in a weekend with former boxer Tony Bellew. Hammond bonds with his wife, Rachael, almost instantly but Tony is a cagier sort. He's powerless to resist the Hammond charm offensive in the end, though. PH 9.30pm, BBC One This very funny comedy's clod-hopping central trio are under more stress than ever: they've killed a man! As Martin (Conleth Hill) pleads for calm and Diane (Rosie Cavaliero) tries to get through a sexually charged salsa-dancing date without arousing suspicion, Kath (co-creator Sian Gibson) goes and does the worst possible thing: engages with the police. Jack Seale 10pm, BBC TwoThis fascinating series in which Dr Orna Guralnik explores struggling relationships continues. This week, Alison and Rod try to unpack their constant bickering, while Jessica confronts her suspicion that she has made sacrifices her partner Boris doesn't understand. PH 10pm, Channel 4This swinger show stretches the definition of the word documentary. Sharmayne and Jamie are typical Open House residents: shy, nervous and on national TV for reasons that feel unclear. Gay couple Simon and Chris – who are opening up their relationship with women – prove more unconventional. Hannah J Davies Joker: Folie à Deux (Todd Phillips, 2024), 12.05pm, 8pm, Sky Cinema PremiereThe box office success of his supervillain origin story, Joker, was probably a surprise to its creator Todd Phillips. So a sequel is clearly a free hit for him, which explains why he's gone Broadway or bust with a full-blown musical. It helps that Lady Gaga is on board, carrying the vocal weight as Lee Quinzel, who falls for Joaquin Phoenix's Arthur Fleck while both are incarcerated in Arkham State Hospital. Their amour fou is realised in a series of fantastical numbers that are very entertaining, though the mental illness storyline is less effective. Simon Wardell The Entity (Sidney J Furie, 1982), 12.45am, Film4At first glance, Sidney J Furie's 1982 film is just an exploitation flick riding on the coattails of The Exorcist and The Amityville Horror. But between the lines of the woman-in-peril plot, in which Barbara Hershey's single mother Carla is sexually assaulted by an unseen supernatural assailant, is a story of controlling men. From Ron Silver's dismissive therapist to the university parapsychologists giddy over a big new case study – and even the invisible creature itself – attempts to force Carla into a corner founder as she fashions her own responses to her trauma.

14 great photos of Edinburgh residents enjoying the sunshine in the 1990s
With Edinburgh expected to be hotter than Los Angeles this weekend as a heatwave hits most of the UK, we've taken a look in our archives to find some great photos of locals, and some visitors, enjoying the sunshine in the Scottish Capital. We found sunbathers in the usual hotspots of the Meadows, Princes Street Gardens and Portobello Beach soaking up the sun in Edinburgh. Those scenes are due to be repeated this weekend as locals head out to catch the rare Scottish summer sunshine and build a tan before heading off on holiday to sunnier climes in the school summer holidays. 1 .

Andrea Corr, 51, has barely aged a day as she performs in plunging black mini dress with The Corrs in Halifax
Andrea Corr looked like she had barely aged a day as she took to the stage with The Corrs at The Piece Hall in Halifax on Thursday. The singer, 51, looked sensational as she slipped into a black mini dress with a plunging neckline and silver detail. She also sported a pair of black boots and added to her outfit with matching tights as she performed with her siblings. Letting her raven locks fall loose down her shoulders, she completed her look with a pair of stylish sunglasses. Her sister Sharon, 55, who played the keyboard and violin, looked radiant in a black long-sleeved dress with a sequinned embellishment. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Their brother Jim, 60, kept to his usual all-black look in a bomber jacket with a matching shirt and sunglasses and other sister Caroline, 52, could be seen on the drums. The Corrs are from Dundalk, County Louth and first came on the scene when they performed in the 1991 Irish film The Commitments. Their debut album Forgiven, Not Forgotten came out in 1995 and they have since sold over 40 million records worldwide. The group are currently touring Europe with upcoming dates in Germany, Sweden and Spain. Andrea surprised many fans earlier this year when she was unveiled as the Snail on the most recent series of The Masked Singer. After her identity was unveiled, she quipped: 'I had such a good time, everyone's been lovely, it's been really joyous. I wanted to do it for the children.' She added that she 'loved' her glittery pink costume and hadn't told a single person she was taking part in the ITV competition. The star had just missed out on a spot in the top five, with the show eventually won by West End star Samantha Barks. In 2022, The Corrs performed for the first time together in five years at Hope Estate Winery, in Australia's Hunter Valley. Andrea was interviewed by Australian radio station Triple M ahead of their return where she spoke about the family band and their shared talent. She said: 'We've often wondered over the years why one of us wasn't a complete dud, like what are the chances.' 'I mean, music is an amazing thing to do. We do love it. Our parents brought us up playing music, listening to music, listening to them. So we're just been doing it our entire life.'

The Corrs at St Anne's Park: Everything you need to know
The Corrs, consisting of siblings Andrea, Sharon, Caroline and Jim, are bringing a show acclaimed for power and emotion, to Dublin's St Anne's Park on Sunday. The siblings have sold over 40 million records to date, with their classic hits that have made fans of even Taylor Swift and Emma Watson. Advertisement Their massive commercial success made pop stars of The Corrs but first and foremost they are musicians, with the spectacular hit-packed concerts showcasing a band at the top of their game. So, if you are headed to St Anne's Park to see The Corrs live this weekend, keep reading to find out everything you need to know. When and where is it on? The Corrs play at St Anne's Park, Clontarf, Dublin on Sunday, June 8th 2025, with doors opening at 5pm. When we get the official stage times, we will update this article with them. Are there tickets left? Some tickets are still available on for the Sunday concert, so if you want to go, it is still possible! Concertgoers are advised to buy tickets from accredited sources only. Advertisement Who are the support acts? Both shows will feature special guest Imelda May and additional support from Natalie Imbruglia. When should I arrive? Allow at least an extra two hours travel time to and from the venue. That means, allow two hours on top of the time Google Maps is telling you it will take. When you get to either of the two entrances, you will have to walk an extra roughly 1.3km from the park entrance to the ticket scan/entry. There are two entrances: The green entrance is on Sybil Hill onto the main avenue, and the blue entrance is on All Saints Road via Tennis Court entry. Advertisement There is no entry or exit on Mount Prospect Avenue. St Anne's Park is a residential area – organisers have appealed to all concertgoers to respect the local community by not littering, engaging in antisocial behaviour or parking illegally. How do I get there and home again? Plan and book your travel arrangements in advance, allowing at least an extra two hours travel time to and from the venue. As traffic delays are inevitable, fans are encouraged by promoters to walk, cycle, use public transport and private coach services. By DART: The nearest DART station is Harmonstown Dart Station and they will run services to and from the concerts each day. By car: There is no public parking at the event, and car parks in St Anne's are not open to the public during events, so promoters have asked fans to use public transport and not to park illegaly or in residential areas as clamping will be in operation. By bus: You can get Dublin Bus No 6, H1, H2, and H3 to the venue from Abbey Street Lower. Marathon Coaches are also running return buses to and from the City Centre to St Anne's Park for the concert. Buses leave from Northwall Quay Bus Stop 7623 at 3pm, 4pm and 5pm on the day of the concert and drop off at St Paul's School, Clontarf. Return buses will be leaving the coach park at 11pm sharp. Advertisement What are they expected to play? Obviously, we never know what a band are going to play until the night itself, but here is a taster of what fans can expect, based on the setlist for their March concert at the Royal Albert Hall in London: Only When I Sleep Give Me a Reason Lough Erin Shore Advertisement Forgiven, Not Forgotten Summer Sunshine What Can I Do White Light Little Wing (The Jimi Hendrix Experience cover) Joy of Life (cover) Ellis Island My Lagan Love (cover) Radio Queen of Hollywood Dreams (Fleetwood Mac cover) I Never Loved You Anyway So Young Runaway Encore: Breathless Toss the Feathers (cover) What's the story with security? Under-16s attending the concert must be accompanied at all times by an adult over 25. Unaccompanied under-16s will be refused entry without a refund. The promoter deems that large outdoor concerts are not a suitable environment for children under five, and all attendees must have a ticket. No queuing is allowed prior to the gates opening, and attendees are advised to allow time for security checks on the way in. If you do turn up early, you will be turned away at restricted area points around the event site. Regardless, you should aim to be within the venue 30 minutes before the show starts. Bags larger than A4 size will not be permitted. All bags may be searched, and this can be time-consuming, so consider going bagless for easier entry. There will be no cloakroom or storage facilities. No alcohol or food is allowed into the arena. Other banned items at the event include – but are not exclusive to – umbrellas, garden furniture, camping chairs, e-scooters, e-bikes, selfie sticks, flares, glasses or cans. There is also no re-admission to the concert, so if you leave, you cannot re-enter. Can I take photos at the concert? Smartphones and small digital cameras are permitted, but cameras with long or detachable lenses or recording equipment are not. GoPros and iPads are also prohibited. What's the weather giving? At the time of writing, it's giving temperatures between 9 and 14 degrees on Sunday but no rain and just some sun, but partly cloudy. That is subject to change though. St Anne's Park is a standing-only venue, and all gigs take place outdoors on grass, so regardless of the forecast, dress accordingly for Irish weather – think wellies, boots or runners, layers, raincoats/ponchos and suncream. But remember, no umbrellas.
