What an absolute dream.

Emily Sergeant Emily Sergeant - 12th November 2024

Consider yourself a cheese connoisseur?

It may sound a little too good to be true, but we promise you it isn’t. Events booking company, DesignMyNight, is currently recruiting for the first job opportunity of its kind in the UK, and the successful applicant will be tasked with taste-testing cheese fondues at several different venues nationwide, primarily down in the capital of London.

Anyone with a love for lactose (even if it doesn’t love them quite the same) is encouraged to stick an application in for the coveted role.

More than £1,000 worth of fondue experiences will be tried out by one lucky applicant.

Open to anyone in the UK, no matter where you live, the chosen taste-tester will have the chance to visit five of London’s finest spots for fondue – including Somerset House’s amazing pop-up, The Chalet, Champagne + Fromage, The White Haus, and Munich Cricket Club.

Cheese may be the main event, but it isn’t the only thing on the menu either, as the lucky applicant will also be visiting the iconic Soho dessert spot, Cocomelts, for a taste of their chocolate fondue too.

Applications are now open until midnight on Friday 6 December, and all you need to do is fill out your details and provide a sentence on why you think you should be chosen for the role.

First trailer released for Netflix’s new Harlan Coben series filmed in Manchester

Emily Sergeant Emily Sergeant

The first trailer for a highly-anticipated new Netflix mystery series has been released, and we’ve already stuck it on our watch lists.

Fresh off the back of the undeniable success of Fool Me Once – which aired globally on Netflix at the start of this year, and shot to the top of the most-streamed charts in the days after it was released – you may remember that it was announced not long after that two new Harlen Coben series had been commissioned and were in the works.

Fool Me Once amassed 61 million views worldwide in its first two weeks, had the nation obsessing over Michelle Keegan’s coats, introduced the world to the UK’s North/South divide, and questioned if anyone could ever end an argument quite as abruptly as Dame Joanna Lumley.

So, is it really any wonder why Netflix is after more from Coben then? Probably not.

Now, the trailer for one of those commissioned series, Missing You, has just been released to the world, merely weeks after we were given a sneak peak at the first-look images shared last month.

Missing You follows the story of Detective Kat Donovan, who’s fiancé Josh disappeared 11 years ago and she has never heard from him since – but now, when swiping profiles on a dating app, she suddenly sees his face and her world explodes all over again.

Josh’s reappearance will force her to dive back into the mystery surrounding her father’s murder, and uncover long-buried secrets from her past.

The new series stars Rosalind Eleazar as Kat Donovan and Ashley Walters as Josh, alongside an ensemble cast including Jessica Plummer, Richard Armitage – who also starred in Fool Me Once – Steve Pemberton, and even Sir Lenny Henry.

Coben’s novel takes place in New York City, but the series adaptation of Missing You is set to relocate the story to the UK.

Filming took place in and around Manchester and the North West of England.

Just like its predecessor, Missing You is set to be released on Netflix worldwide on New Year’s Day (1 January 2025).

‘Selling pics of my arse is fun’ – Kate Nash defends using OnlyFans to pay for her UK tour

Thomas Melia Thomas Melia

London-born singer Kate Nash has released a statement addressing those who have been commenting on her selling photos of her bum online to fund her new live shows.

Nash, who’s certified her position in UK pop culture with her timeless hit ‘Foundations’, has taken to social media to explain her situation in more detail.

“Don’t be ‘sad’ I started OnlyFans to fund my tours”, the 37-year-old opens in her statement before following up with, “It’s very empowering”.

2008’s winner of Best Female Artist at the BRITs has never been shy of speaking up about issues while in the limelight. Recently, she let her drummer Maxie reveal their top surgery in front of thousands of people onstage at Glastonbury.

In 2013, Kate Nash became the global ambassador for the ‘Because I Am A Girl’ movement which is set up to address the issue of gender discrimination across the world.

She has also been open about her mental health struggles and doesn’t hide the fact she struggles with anxiety and mild OCD, the latter initiated by her extensive touring schedule in 2008.

Her current live shows, which she is currently in the middle of, even reinforce her current OnlyFans jolt titled the ‘Butts For Buses Tour’ – cheeky!

The star isn’t taking herself too seriously either, posting to social media in a neon pink lingerie, writing ‘Bum’s gone viral lol, goin on stage now bit busy soz xoxo’.

Many artists have spoken out about this issue including indie pop-rocker Rachel Chinouriri and breakthrough rapper Little Simz, who both cancelled their US string of live shows due to the overwhelming costs of touring.

Nash, who is performing in Manchester tonight (Tuesday, 26 November), also wrote: “My arse is shining a light on the problem”, as tour expenses are growing more and more every day.

Fair play. Anyone who sees their arse – pun very much intended – over this clearly eats too many lemons because they’re just so bitter.

Ok, we’ll stop now…
