NETFLIX has confirmed the return of hit dystopian sci-fi thriller Black Mirror in a new trailer, which reveals series 7 will hit screens next year.

The British anthology series Black Mirror is known for having a star-studded line-up – with the likes of Miley Cyrus, Domhnall Gleeson, Jessica Brown Findlay, Michael Cera, Benedict Wong and James Norton all having appeared on the show – and series 7 will be no exception.

Black Mirror has been a favourite among fans since on Channel 4 in 2011 before moving to Netflix ahead of series 3. 

Created by Charlie Brooker, the series, which is inspired by The Twilight Zone, explores various genres, with most episodes set in near-future dystopias while using themes of technology and media to comment on contemporary social issues.

Although there has been a long wait between seasons, notably the four-year gap between series 5 and 6 due to the Covid pandemic, Netflix continues to bring thrilling episodes of Black Mirror to the screen. 

The streamer confirmed the show’s return in a short sci-fi inspired trailer. 

It is made to look like an old computer screen which is rebooting and showing lines of code.

But instead of actual code, it is a list of the actors who are confirmed to appear in series 7. 

The trailer moves through the names almost too fast for viewers to compute but it is possible to spot the names of Deadpool and Wolverine and The Crown actor Emma Corrin, alongside Criminal Record and Doctor Who star Peter Capaldi, Barbie’s Issa Rae, and Jumanji: The Next Level and Jackpot star Awkwafina.

A press release from Netflix confirms that Patsy Ferran (Firebrand), Lewis Gribben (Blade Runner 2099), Rashida Jones (Sunny), Siena Kelly (Domino Day), Rosy McEwen (Blue Jean), Chris O’Dowd (Bridesmaids), Paul G. Raymond (Horrible Histories), Tracee Ellis Ross (Black-ish) and Harriet Walter (Succession) will round out the cast for series 7. 

Though viewers could blink and miss it, their names are also visible in the trailer, as are Cristin Milioti (The Penguin), Jimmi Simpson (Westworld), Billy Magnussen (Road House), Osy Ikhile (Citadel), Milanka Brooks (Mum And I Don’t Talk Anymore) and Paul Giamatti (The Holdovers) who will return to Black Mirror having first appeared in the USS Callister episode in 2017. 

The new series, which will hit Netflix in 2025, will consist of six episodes. 

“You can expect a mix of genres and styles,” Charlie teased at Netflix’s own mini Comic Con, Geeked Week.

He added: “We’ve got six episodes this time, and two of them are basically feature-length. Some of them are deeply unpleasant, some are quite funny, and some are emotional.” 

Charlie added that the season has gone “back to basics.” 

“We have evolved to a place where it’s kind of OG Black Mirror this season,” he said. “So it’s all sci-fi, techno-dystopia,” he explained. 

While he didn’t reveal too many spoilers about the upcoming season, Charlie did tease one key piece of information to keep viewers excited: One of the episodes will be a sequel to the now-classic Season 4 opener, “USS Callister.”

“Fans of the show will recognise the cast of a certain spaceship from one of our episodes reappearing.

“We’ve done a sequel for the first time in Black Mirror history. Normally, I kill off all the characters at the end of an episode, and I kept some of ’em alive. I’m growing as a human,” he said.

A CABINET Minister faced the wrath of voters over Winter Fuel cuts last night – including why MPs can still claim on heating bills while pensioners are losing out.

Commons Leader Lucy Powell was forced to defend Chancellor Rachel Reeves’ decision to axe the £200-£300 payments for 10million OAPs.

On BBC Question Time one audience member challenged the Labour frontbencher to remove MPs’ heating allowance and use the cash to help struggling pensioners. 

To crowd applause she vented: “How do you justify withdrawing the payment from pensioners?”

Most MPs can expense heating and utility bills at a single property – either their constituency home or London residence – to stop them forking out for two addresses.

The only exception is MPs who represent a seat in the capital, or have the run of a grace-and-favour property like Downing Street.

Ms Powell replied: “Obviously we pay heating in our homes like everybody else, and we’ve seen those costs going up and up and up in recent years with inflation and energy costs going up.

“There’s no denying this is a very difficult thing to do and it will be difficult for people. It’s not something we came into government wanting to do at all.”

But Tory MP Graham Stuart hit back: “It’s taking £300 away from the very poorest pensioners.

“The very poorest pensioners are not the pensioners on pension credit, very low income though they’ve got, it’s the people that are eligible for it – but that for one reason or another, don’t claim.”

Means-testing Winter Fuel Payments is expected to save around £1.5billion a year according to the Treasury.

Sir Keir Starmer has refused to u-turn despite a Labour rebellion, and warned of more “tough decisions” at next month’s Budget.

Campaigners have warned that pensioners earning just above the means-tested cap will seriously struggle this winter when their cold-weather cash is axed. 

Ms Reeves is also standing firm despite a reported £10billion windfall from the Bank of England selling loss-making bonds less quickly.

The 57-year-old has revealed a new symptom of the degenerative brain disease after fans expressed their concern.

MAFS UK’s Charlie Curtis has broken her silence on quitting the show after her explosive row with Eve Reid.

Things got too much for Charlie, 30, and her wife Eve, 31, as they became embroiled in yet another bitter argument during their fiery honeymoon.

Charlie even appeared to leave the programme with a very telling comment during Tuesday’s episode.

She’s now taken to Instagram with a grab from the installment, along with a sarcastic comment.

The lettings operations coordinator wrote: “On the plus side, Mexico was beautiful, every cloud and all that,” with a laughing emoji.

The pair continuously clashed on their break away as Eve refused to stay in the couple’s shared hotel room, despite them having been intimate with each other a “few times” on the show.

As their honeymoon drew to a close, they once again failed to see eye-to-eye with one another which led to Charlie admitting she was QUITTING the experiment for good.

As Charlie expressed her frustrations that Eve “shut down” when they tried to address their problems, her new wife was left storming off for the third time this episode.

This caused Charlie to hit out as she slammed Eve for “walking away” from their issues once again.

Explaining her decision, Eve said: “I took myself out of the situation.”

Charlie then butted in to say: “You don’t respect anything I say or do!”

“Are you saying I don’t respect you?,” Eve spat back before Charlie re-clarified her comments.

In a rage, a stroppy Eve admitted she was doing exactly that as she furiously marched away from the show’s cameras and out of sight.

Furious, she barked: “I’m not listening to this!”

She then begged Charlie not to “shout” at her despite Charlie largely keeping her composure.

It was this explosive reaction that caused Charlie to admit that she was ready to quit the show.

She shouted out to Eve: “I’ll be leaving the experiment now.

“They’ll be no moving in together, no apartments, nothing – Goodbye!”

She then added: “I’ll go and enjoy my evening – alone.

“Like I have done all f***ing honeymoon.”

As the episode drew to a close, it remains to be seen if Charlie and Eve will return to the show or if their marriage is one of the programme’s least successful to date.

At the start of the episode, they appeared to be one of the strongest couples as Charlie made a very raunchy confession about their sex life.

On their first morning of the honeymoon, and within 24 hours of tying the knot, Charlie was left admitting to the cameras that she and Eve had already had sex a “few times” in a bid to spice up their romance.

Charlie said: “Me and Eve have had sex – a few times!

“It was just so natural and… yeah, clearly I’m speechless!”

During a bedroom conversation, the two later admitted they felt their connection was “natural” as they discussed how the romance hot gotten off to a good start.

The surprise sex confession came just hours before the romance between the pair appeared to grow cold as Eve was left admitting that she felt she needed space from Charlie.

She revealed how she felt Charlie was “full on” as they teetered on the edge of a major row.

PRIMARK’S make-up counters have rocketed in recent years. 

From dupes of our favourite designer products to innovative tools, you can pick up everything you need for usually less than a fiver.

Beauty buffs are going wild for Primark’s autumn drop[/caption]

Among the seasonal offering is lip plumpers, contour wands and foundation[/caption]

And now, the fast fashion giant has formulated an all-new lip gloss that plumps up pouts in seconds. 

The PS… Lip Plumper comes in two shades of pink and clear, at just £3 each. 

“Ever dreamt of having smooth, plump, volumised and moisturised lips?” Primark bosses asked. 

“Well, you can have it all with our lip plumper! 

“Packed full of vitamin E, this lip gloss is here to give an instant volume and plumping effect to your lips. 

“The pink shimmer colour is always a winner, meaning you can perfect that pout all day, every day. 

“Simply apply and wait to see the amazing effects.”

Lip plumpers work by temporarily enhancing the fullness and appearance of the lips, usually through ingredients that cause mild swelling. 

And while they’re not a permanent solution like lip filler, they’re a cheaper and safer alternative.

Most use ingredients like capsaicin (from chilli peppers), menthol, cinnamon and or ginger extract to tingle the delicate skin on the lips. 

This irritation causes the blood vessels to dilate, increasing blood flow to the lips and creating a fuller appearance. 

The slight tingling or burning sensation people feel is a sign that the product is working its magic. 

Shoppers have beamed that the bargain product “might just replace their lip filler appointments”.

Among Primark’s other autumn beauty drops are PS… Pro Instant Blusher and Bronzing Drops at £3.50 each.

There’s also a £4.50 PS… Pro Cream Contour Wand in two shades of light and dark. 

“Sculpt and enhance your bone structure and finest features with this PS… Pro Cream Contour Wand,” a blurb reads. 

“Formulated to offer buildable coverage, this product can be blended out to achieve a light contour or layered for a more intense look. 

“It’s presented in a slender squeeze tube with a cushion applicator for precise use that helps you flawlessly execute the creation of a sculpted, contoured complexion.”

There’s six shades in the all-new £6 PS… Pro Airbrush Foundation, which Primark bosses say “creates a perfected base that minimises imperfections”. 

They added: “Available in a range of shades, this liquid foundation is designed to help deliver an airbrushed effect on the skin, working to smooth the complexion and leaving it with a radiant, skin-like finish. 

“Hyaluronic acid and Vitamin E are infused into the lightweight formula for added hydration and skin benefits. 

“With a buildable coverage, apply the desired amount with a brush or beauty sponge until you’ve reached your ideal coverage.”

KATIE Price has shared the first look at her in panto with pal Kerry Katona – after being branded a “disgrace” by fans for her previous role.

The 46-year-old and Kerry, 44, are set to play the wicked stepsisters in a production of Cinderella later this year.

In new snaps posted on social media the ladies – who met during I’m a Celebrity in 2004 – can be seen in character for the first time.

Katie told fans she’d bagged the role alongside Kerry earlier this year.

Revealing the news on her podcast, Katie said: “I’ve signed up to another panto! Cinderella!

“I’ve signed up for Cinderella and I’m one of the ugly sisters – and guess who is the ugly sister I’m doing it with – it’s Kerry Katona!”

Katie continued: “So Kerry got me the gig because she has been working with them for six years.

“And she was like ‘why don’t you come and do this panto’, and she said it was for the ugly sisters and I said ‘oh are we ugly then?’ and she said we can still be really pretty.”

Last year double bankrupt Katie landed a £60k payday for playing The Wicked Fairy Carabosse in Sleeping Beauty.

But some fans were less than impressed with her performance.

A video of her dancing out of time for the opening night, prompted critical comments from fans.

“Maybe, just maybe Katie Price could learn the routines. She was an absolute disgrace.

“Clear to see how hard the other cast members have worked .. very clear she thinks she can rock up making zero effort!!!” one wrote.

“lol you hardly had any words, did no rehearsing and bippo acted you off the stage. Good work you can’t sing or act – your family must be so embarrassed” another moaned.

A FORMER tennis star who dreamed of becoming the next Simona Halep is now a surgeon.

The 28-year-old impressed as a youngster but quit tennis at an early age.

Injuries were ever-present throughout her career so the former star was never able to live up to her potential.

Ioana Ducu quit the sport in 2017 after several shoulder injuries, one of which required a seven-hour operation.

Now Ducu is set to be on the other end of the knife as she is a resident surgeon at the Floreasca Emergency Clinical Hospital in Bucharest

The Romanian works the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology and reportedly aims to focus on arthroscopy and sports traumatology.

Ducu once wanted to follow in the footsteps of her compatriot Halep, who won two grand slam titles including Wimbledon.

But despite winning the junior French Open at Rolland Garros in 2014, she failed to adapt at senior level.

Ducu’s highest world ranking was 830 and she won only one tournament, the Doubles at ITF Sharm El Sheikh.

Speaking as a hopeful junior, Ducu said she wanted to emulate Halep’s success on court.

She said: “Simona Halep is my favourite athlete. I watch her every chance I get and try to steal as much as possible from her. I like her technique, we are similar in many ways.

“I hope that at some point I can also reach her performances. It takes a lot of work but I hope I will be able to go as far as possible.”

ANTHONY JOSHUA is on track to reach half a MILLION ticket sales ahead of his record-breaking next fight.

AJ challenges for Daniel Dubois’ IBF heavyweight world title on Saturday at Wembley Stadium.

And a never-before-seen 96,000 are set to pack out the national football stadium to witness the Battle of Britain. 

It means the record set by Tyson Fury in 2022 – when 94,000 watched his knock out of Dillian Whyte – is set to be smashed. 

Joshua first won the heavyweight title in 2016 after knocking out Charles Martin. 

He then had two defences before attempting to add the WBA strap in a unification with Wladimir Klitschko. 

It marked AJ’s first fight in a stadium as 90,000 watched him triumph in round 11 following a classic with Klitschko. 

From there, he faced Carlos Takam in another defence before beating Joseph Parker for the WBO belt.

Both were at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium as 78,000 came out on each occasion. 

Joshua returned to Wembley in 2018 to KO Alexander Povetkin with 80,000 in the house.

But then his career went on the road, starting with a disastrous US debut. 

AJ was due to face American loudmouth Jarrell Miller until the Yank disgracefully failed a series of drug tests. 

In stepped overweight outsider Andy Ruiz Jr to spring a sensational upset in seven rounds in New York. 

But Joshua won back the unified belts six months later in Saudi Arabia – his first fight in the Middle East. 

With the titles back around his waist, the Londoner found himself at Wembley again. 

But this time in front of a tiny crowd of 1,000 inside Wembley Arena amid the coronavirus pandemic. 

The select few watched Joshua KO Kubrat Pulev with a thunderous right hand. 

But following failed talks to fight Fury, a mandatory title defence was called against Oleksandr Usyk. 

A crowd of 66,000 filled Tottenham’s £1billion stadium but it was heartbreak for AJ.

He was dominated over 12 rounds to surrender the straps once more.

And unlike against Ruiz, he was unable to avenge the loss when he rematched Usyk in Saudi a year later. 

Joshua’s popularity and confidence looked to be at an all-time low as his run back to the top kicked off. 

For the first time since 2016, Joshua was back at the O2 Arena as he cruised past Jermaine Franklin. 

He then knocked out Robert Helenius four months later to light up the O2 again. 

Joshua was soon back in Riyadh twice more to stop Otto Wallin in six rounds and flatten ex-UFC champion Francis Ngannou in two. 

With four wins on the spin, there is hope Joshua, 34, is not only back to his best but maybe better than ever. 

And he clearly has the British public back in belief again after the record 96,000 crowd was announced. 

It means Joshua has shifted 488,000 tickets in his superstar career. 

And he now has the chance to join an elite heavyweight club with Muhammad Ali, Lennox Lewis and Evander Holyfield as three-time champ. 

’I didn’t know girls this young were even capable of saying such things.’
