Hollyoaks summer trailer teases Jez's next victim and Dillon and Ste's affair
Things are heating up in Hollyoaks village and the brand-new official summer trailer has hinted at a forbidden romance, a shock revelation and a deadly showdown Hollyoaks fans can expect plenty of drama if the brand new Summer trailer is anything to go by. Things seem to be heating up in the village but not everyone will make it to Autumn alive. The official Six Weeks of Summer advert has hinted at upcoming storylines including the first-look at Fraser Black Snr (John Middleton) aka Froggy's debut as a tense confrontation between Froggy and his Granddaughter 'Clary Dary' Clare Devine (Gemma Bissix) reveals his mission to get his family back. Meanwhile Rex Gallagher (Jonny Labey) makes a risky decision by whistleblowing on Clare's exploitation operation leading to his criminal sisters Clare and Grace Black (Tamara Wall) landing behind bars. He's ready to start afresh with Ste Hay (Kieron Richardson) and turn over a new leaf, but a sinister threat teases trouble afoot. Elsewhere, recovering addict Dillon Ray (Nathaniel Dass) has been leaning on the Hay family for support after moving in with them and rekindling his relationship with Lucas Hay (Oscar Curtis). However, in a shock twist, Dillon confesses to Lucas' dad Ste that he has feelings for him but how will the shocked dad react? Also, villagers gather in their glad rags to the sound of wedding bells but as serial killer groom Jez Blake's (Jeremy Sheffield) mask slips, husband-to-be John Paul McQueen (James Sutton) relapses and drunkenly destroys the allotment, will he discover the truth before the I dos or will mistress Liberty Savage (Jessamy Stoddart) out her affair with Jez at the alter? Smiling through the flames, Jez embraces who he has become and defends his "sacrificial" action, but by the horrified look on Sienna Blake's (Anna Passey) face teased in the brand-new trailer, it seems the apple does fall far from the tree. Confiding in mum Martha Blake (Sherrie Hewson) on his fears someone will take him down, could his next victim be his own daughter? Also, The Dog in The Pond is finally set to re-open its doors after months of repairs, but distracted Tony Hutchinson (Nick Pickard) is a man on a mission when he hears that killer Bobby Costello (Zak Sutcliffe) is still at large, unaware that his lover Mercedes McQueen (Jennifer Metcalfe) is harbouring her son, will his vendetta lead him down a dangerous path? Hollyoaks airs Monday to Wednesday on E4 at 7pm and first look episodes can be streamed Channel 4 from 7am

BBC told to make more shows for YouTube or risk irrelevance
The BBC and other public broadcasters have been told to make more shows for YouTube or risk fading into irrelevance. Ofcom warned that the future of public service broadcasters (PSB) such as the BBC, ITV and Channel 4 was under 'serious threat' unless they were able to win over a young generation of disenfranchised viewers. The watchdog said traditional channels would have to work much harder to create programmes specifically for online platforms as audiences increasingly turn away from TV. Cristina Nicolotti Squires, Ofcom's head of broadcasting, said PSBs had a remit 'to make content that reflects the whole of the UK and it's important that they take their content to where audiences are'. She added: 'If audiences are increasingly watching things on platforms like YouTube, then they need to work hard to make sure that their content is seen there. 'That's specifically the case for the BBC, to be honest. They are funded by all of us and at the end of the day they need to make content where people are viewing it.' In a report published on Monday, Ofcom warned that the precipitous growth of streaming services and video apps such as YouTube and TikTok meant younger audiences may not form a connection with traditional broadcasters. Netflix the go-to destination for under-35s Research found that only adults aged 35 and older were most likely to turn to BBC One when seeking out things to watch. In contrast, Netflix is the most popular destination for 16 to 34-year-olds, while children aged between four and 15 are most likely to turn to YouTube. The crisis for broadcasters is most acute among teenagers, with 13 to 15-year-olds spending nearly half their in-home viewing time on YouTube and TikTok. In a speech earlier this year, BBC director-general Tim Davie said the corporation would start making news programming specifically for streaming platforms and social media apps. Channel 4, which has a remit to serve young viewers, has already struck deals with both YouTube and Spotify to make online-specific shows, while ITV last year inked a deal to put hundreds of hours of programmes on YouTube. The race to win back younger viewers has seen traditional broadcasters turn to shorter-form videos, while some have also signed up popular influencers and YouTube personalities. But Ofcom warned traditional channels had more to do as they accounted for only a small proportion of Britons' online viewing. Only about a fifth of the time Britons spend on YouTube is spent on content made in the UK, while North America accounts for more than half. Ms Nicolotti Squires insisted PSBs could branch out into different types of shows without overlooking their traditional programmes and audiences. She said: 'You don't have to dumb down ... Audiences are smart – they know when they're being talked down to – but it's perfectly possible to have the same standards across all different outputs.' In addition to ramping up their programming, Ofcom urged broadcasters to work with YouTube to ensure their shows were prominent and easy to find on the platform. While the regulator said this should be agreed under fair commercial terms, it said there was a strong case for the Government to intervene with new laws forcing the tech firm to show PSB programming prominently. This would build on legislation introduced last year to ensure shows from British broadcasters are easy to find on smart TVs and streaming devices. Ofcom also warned of deep-seated financial challenges facing traditional broadcasters as audiences splinter and costs rise. The regulator urged channels to forge more partnerships such ITV's recent streaming deal with Disney and a broader advertising tie-up between ITV, Channel 4 and Sky, while finding 'creative' ways to fund programmes amid strained budgets. A BBC spokesman said: 'We welcome Ofcom's support and recognition that public service media is a vital part of the UK and its economy. We are also very clear about the challenges, with areas like local news and the TV production sector under particular pressure. 'The BBC will continue to focus on delivering value for all audiences and we look forward to working with other public service media to support the success and future sustainability of the sector.'

Molly Sims, 52, pulls down her bikini bottoms to show off size 2 figure... after revealing her top 3 diet hacks
Instagram pinup Molly Sims has slipped into yet another string bikini for a pinup post shared to Instagram. The 52-year-old former model - who is still a size two - looked slimmer during a summer vacation with her family and friends. The Vegas star was staying at a beach town as she made the lusty pose where she was literally pulling down her bikini briefs for the camera. The Los Angeles resident had a small waistline, strong legs and sculpted arms; her followers were stunned by her youthful glow: 'Forever Bikini Inspo!' and 'gorgeous' were in the comments section. The TV veteran added a pink beaded necklace and gold bracelets with gold-rimmed sunglasses as she flashed a summer tan. In her caption, the wife of Netflix honcho Scott Stuber said: 'Bye kids!' In the new images, Sims looked flawless with no cellulite, stretch marks or fat anywhere on her lean body. The former Old Navy model was making the most of the suit that highlighted her trim tummy, which was earned by daily workouts that include yoga, pilates, cycling and power walking. This comes after she revealed her top three diet hacks. One hack is that she drinks bone broth. The luminary even showed her followers that she pours the brown liquid into a white mug with a red heart on front. Over the photo of the mug of broth she wrote: 'Anti-ageing, good for digestions and gut, helps my joints after workouts, better sleep... 'This has been game changing for me.' According to webmd, 'Bone broth, sometimes called stock, is liquid made from boiling animal bones and connective tissue. The TV veteran added a pink beaded necklace and gold bracelets with gold-rimmed sunglasses as she flashed a summer tan. In her caption, the wife of Netflix honcho Scott Stuber said: 'Bye kids!' 'Chefs use stock as a base for soups, sauces, and gravies. Some people drink it on its own. 'People have been making bone broth since the beginning of humankind. 'Anthropologists think people drank liquid infused with bones and other animal parts as early as prehistoric times. 'People all over the planet make bone broth from the animals that live nearby. 'The popular Japanese ramen dish tonkatsu — 'pork bone broth' in English — is one example.' It was also shared that most bone broth has at least trace amounts of several nutrients. 'Adding vegetables to bone broth can also significantly enhance its nutritional benefits.' It was also claimed it can help with weight management, hydration, sleep, nutrition. Gwyneth Paltrow, Salma Hayek and Shailene Woodley have also praised the benefits of drinking bone broth in the past. Another one of Molly's diet hacks is to do 'mindful eating,' incorporating healthy fats, and strategic snacking. The TV star emphasizes a balanced diet with plenty of vegetables and lean protein, particularly egg whites, while limiting meat and gluten. Sims also utilizes healthy hacks like frozen grapes for a guilt-free sweet treat and adds protein powder to recipes for an extra boost. And the third hack is intermittent fasting which is an eating pattern that cycles between periods of eating and voluntary fasting on a regular schedule. It's not a diet in the traditional sense, but rather a way of timing meals. Common methods include the 16/8 method (fasting for 16 hours, eating within an 8-hour window) and the 5:2 method (eating normally for 5 days, restricting calories for 2 days).
