SOS: Extreme Rescues to return to BBC for third series
The 12-part observational series follows the work of emergency teams in the Eryri region of north Wales.
Arwyn Evans, executive producer at Darlun, said: "Viewers can expect everything from blizzards on snow-capped peaks to dramatic airlifts from remote coastlines and high-risk rescues in ancient forests.
"The new series captures heart-stopping moments in real time as ordinary people face extraordinary danger – and the heroes who come to their aid."
The series, filmed over the past 18 months, highlights the collaborative efforts of more than 17 emergency and volunteer rescue teams.
Sorelle Neil, commissioning editor for BBC Cymru Wales, said: "We're thrilled to have commissioned another series of SOS: Extreme Rescues.
"The programme continues to showcase the bravery, skill and dedication of Wales' emergency responders, and not only captures the breathtaking beauty and peril of Eryri, but also the extraordinary teamwork and resilience of those who risk their lives to protect others."
All episodes will be available to watch on BBC iPlayer.

Reality star in shock split from stunning girlfriend – as he looks to further his TV career
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A HUNKY reality TV star has called it quits with his university sweetheart girlfriend in a shock split. The TV favourite quietly broke up from his stunning girlfriend earlier this year after shooting to fame on BBC reality show The Traitors. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 8 The Traitors hunk Freddie Fraser has secretly split from his girlfriend Credit: Instagram 8 Freddie and Nisha called it quits after a loved-up trip to Budapest Credit: Instagram 8 The pairs split left their pals shocked Credit: Instagram Freddie Fraser, 21, became one of the third series' breakout stars earlier this year and has built an impressive following since rising to fame. But The Sun can exclusively reveal that behind-the-scenes, the TV star has been dealing with a secret love split from girlfriend, Nisha Davenport. Peterborough-born Freddie and Nisha met whilst both studying at University and quickly hit it off. But friends of the former couple tell The Sun that they quietly called time on their romance after enjoying a romantic trip to Budapest in March of this year. They told The Sun: "Freddie quietly split from Nisha earlier this year, shortly after a loved-up trip to Budapest. "She'd been by his side throughout his Traitors fame but Freddie soon found himself living a showbiz lifestyle that he'd always dreamed of. "They were also both incredibly aware that after university it would be more difficult than ever to keep the romance going strong. "The split was very amicable and there was no drama on either side. "They have the same close circle of friends from university which has proved challenging to navigate over the last few weeks but all Freddie's mates think he's handled it really maturely." Freddie and Nisha enjoyed a UK-based staycation in Devon last year, shortly after he finished filming his series of The Traitors. The Traitors star Freddie Fraser accidentally flashes fans in Instagram video Nisha even met all of his co-stars at a black-tie bash held for Freddie's 21st birthday in Nottingham but found it challenging to cope with his increasing stardom. Another insider added to The Sun: "Freddie's always dreamt of being a star and he has the backing of all his friends but it seemed to come at the cost of his relationship." It is understood Freddie is now firmly focused on growing his TV career after completing his politics studies at the University of Nottingham last month. Pals added that the newly single star has certainly not been short of capturing the attention of a bevy of beauties and could even sign up to a dating show to find his next partner. 8 Freddie rose to fame on this year's The Traitors Credit: BBC 8 Nisha was his university sweetheart Credit: Instagram/nishadavenport A representative for Freddie declined to comment. Freddie was the youngest contestant on this year's series of the show which became the highest-rated to date. He started his time in the Scottish castle as a Faithful but was recruited as a Traitor in the final week. However, after an epic slip-up involving co-star Minah Shannon, he seemingly gave his Traitor status away and was banished from the castle after just 24 hours in his position. Since the show, he has carved out a career as an influencer on social media. 8 He is now hoping to focus on furthering his TV career Credit: instagram/freddiefraserr 8 He became one of this year's breakout stars on the programme Credit: Getty

Tattooed tennis sensation issues 5-word vow to fans after romping into last 16
Sonay Kartal is on the verge of a quarter-final spot after blasting her way past Diane Parry in Friday's third round match, and is enjoying the pressure at SW19 Tattooed tennis sensation Sonay Kartal - who has vowed to get a new inking after Wimbledon - romped into the last 16 at SW19 on Friday. And she vowed "I'm going to go swinging," as she bids for a quarter-final spot on Sunday. British Fan favourite Kartal, 23, blasted past France's Diane Parry and afterwards thanked her stack of pals cheering her on in Court One. The Brighton-based star, who stands at just 5ft4in tall, has caught the eye this year with her retro Adidas outfits and quirky tattoos - of which she has 14. She told after her latest victory how she loves 'old school' 1990s and 2000s music and how her favourite karaoke song is Dolly Parton's Islands in the Stream. Sonay, whose dad is Turkish and used to run restaurants in Brighton, has tattoos that include an eagle, a snake, the year 2022 to signify when she first played in four Grand Slams. She has several on her knuckles which have no meaning, plus a bee she got during the French Open and two quotes, one saying 'time is everything we have and don't', and another that says 'the show must go on'. She previously said her favourite was a paw print of her first dog, a large golden retriever, which she has on the back of her arm. And laid-back Kartal is taking all the hype in her stride as she prepares for a crack at Russian veteran Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova for a place in the quarter-finals. 'I enjoy it. I think it's an honour,' she said. 'Obviously if you've got a lot of attention on you, it means you're doing good things. I'm pretty calm and pretty collected. I don't think it's going to affect me too much. But no, I'm just enjoying it all. I'll still pretty young. It's my first fourth round. 'I feel like I'm going to go out on the court in the next round kind of with nothing to lose at the minute. I'm going to go swinging." Kartal, or Karts as she is called by those that know her well, first started playing tennis at the age of six at Pavilion & Avenue Tennis Club, where she still trains. Sonay, who did not take the usual route to tennis stardom as she could not always afford coaches, was backed from around the age of 19 by the LTA. Off court, animal-lover Sonay says she tries to spend as much time as possible with her family and her latest dog, Blue, who she takes for 'adventures' along the coast. Asked about Dolly Parton being her go-to karaoke song, she responded, laughing: 'Oh Islands in the Stream, yeah.' On Wednesday, when asked what her 15th tattoo could be, she invited the public to send ideas that she would consider. 'I'm open to suggestions,' she said. 'Like if people throw me some good ideas, I will definitely consider them - 90% I would end up going with one of those ideas. If people want to send me their ideas, I will most likely pick one of them and will probably chuck it on somewhere.' Sonay was last year pictured with then-boyfriend, bodybuilder Luke Ogbourn, who she is understood to be no longer with. But she still had plenty of support in the crowd, saying: 'I had all my closest family in the box, coaches that I've been with. 'Then I had a lot of people scattered on the seats all from kind of like my club, members that I've known since I was six. Yeah, that was super special. I couldn't necessarily see them, but I could hear a lot of familiar voices in the crowd, which was definitely nice.'

My intimate afternoon with Dave Grohl at The Savoy explains how he won back his wife after his baby with someone else
The Sun's Fabulous Assistant Editor (Showbiz) Kelly Allen also reveals what Fearne Cotton told her about the mega star GROHL WITH IT My intimate afternoon with Dave Grohl at The Savoy explains how he won back his wife after his baby with someone else DAVE Grohl and his wife Jordyn Blum put on a united front as they returned to the Royal Box at Wimbledon in their first public appearance together since it was revealed he had fathered a secret love child with another woman - and I know exactly how he managed to win his partner of 22 years back. Twelve months is a long time in showbiz and it was a different Dave to the one who visited the famous South West London tennis tournament last June. 12 Dave Grohl and wife Jordyn Blum looked to be on happier terms at Wimbledon this week Credit: Getty 12 The Foo Fighters singer previously came forward about having an affair and admitted to having fathered a child with Jennifer Young (pictured in February) Credit: BackGrid 12 The pair beamed as they watched the tennis on Wednesday - following his baby scandal Credit: Alamy 12 The Sun's Fabulous Assistant Editor (celebrity) Kelly Allen met Dave at The Savoy in 2017 for a press event Credit: Supplied They appeared together last year where fans noted he seemed 'snappy and irritated' - but later in the summer the truth about his infidelity emerged. His wife was already well aware of the affair and pregnancy but the mea culpa public announcement was a last ditch attempt to save their relationship. The 56 year old frontman welcomed a baby girl with Jennifer Young, a 38-year-old LA-based, rock-and-roll fan. "I've recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage", he wrote in the post. "I plan to be a loving and supportive parent to her. "I love my wife and my children, and I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness." He added: "We're grateful for your consideration toward all the children involved, as we move forward together. Dave." Since his shock admission, the couple have been trying to get their marriage back on track. In February those close to them revealed that Jordyn, 49, had 'forgiven' her husband. No one was more shocked by the news than me. I have been a huge fan of Dave since the 90s when he was a drummer in Nirvana and I believed he was one of the 'good guys'. I saw the Foo Fighters for the first time in 2003 at the Oxegen Festival in Punchestown, Ireland and was totally obsessed with Dave. Dave Grohl's alleged 15-Year affair and secret love child I remember as a young assistant producer back in 2007 working on BBC Radio 1 the excitement around the station broadcasting live backstage at a Foo Fighters gig in Wembley. Fearne Cotton told me beforehand: 'Dave Grohl is just the nicest man. He's so supportive of new musicians.' I was thrilled when I caught a glimpse of him from afar. It was the same in 2015 at Radio 1's Big Weekend in Norwich. Everyone at all levels had nothing but good things to say about him. I saw first hand the former Nirvana drummer stand at the side of the stage watching Catfish and the Bottleman as well as a then much less famous Taylor Swift take to the stage before them. There was a sense that he wasn't a typical 'rockstar' but a family man as he told the 25,000 strong crowd: "I'm officially obsessed, she might want to get a restraining order. "To my opening band, Taylor Swift. Taylor and the Swifts. My kids will kill me for saying this, but this one is dedicated to Taylor Swift.' While he often had lots of women (me included) swooning in his presence it appeared there was no one he had eyes for apart from Jordyn - who he met in 2001. People always commented about how his eyes lit up when he talked about her and how in love they seemed. 12 Relations appeared frosty between Dave and Jordyn last year at Wimbledon Credit: Darren Fletcher 12 Fans noted he seemed 'snappy and irritated' at the tennis championship in 2024 Credit: Darren Fletcher 'My future ex-wife' He previously revealed he met his wife at the Sunset Marquis Whiskey Bar in Los Angeles in 2001. He was with the band's late drummer Taylor Hawkins, who was chatting up Jordyn's friend. He revealed: 'I spotted these totally hot chicks appear, like a vision - my friend's date and her friend. "They didn't really want to talk to me, probably because I looked gross, so I did what any man in my position would have done: I got them totally drunk. "In the end, I wound up writing, 'You're my future ex-wife' with my number on a piece of paper and giving it to Jordyn. 12 Dave met 'hot chick' Jordyn in 2001 and gave her his number on a piece of paper that said 'you're my future ex-wife' Credit: Getty 12 The pair went on to have three daughters together, Violet Maye, 19, Harper Willow, 16 and ten-year-old Ophelia Saint Credit: Getty 12 The whole family often went on tour with Dave and the band Credit: Getty "We started to see each other but then I got a bit freaked out by being in a relationship and stopped calling. "Anyway, we went on tour and our drummer overdosed. [Tayor later died in 2022 from a separate overdose]. It was bad. Really bad. And it made me put things into perspective. "When we got back to LA, I called her up and said, 'Let's go for a drink'. Just to wind me up, she appeared wearing a wedding ring... and we've been together ever since.' I love my wife and my children, and I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness Dave Grohl The pair went on to have three daughters together, Violet Maye, 19, Harper Willow, 16 and ten-year-old Ophelia Saint. The whole family often went on tour with the band with Dave sharing previously: 'Having had such a good relationship with my mom and dad, I always imagined I'd have a family myself one day. I just couldn't see it happening while I was playing in a band and going on tour and being a working, travelling musician. "Then it dawned on me that you can do both and, fortunately, we are able to. A lot of people struggle with it and [the band] knows how fortunate we are that we can have the luxury of touring less and having our families come out when we want or need them to.' GROHL MEET UP 12 Kelly interviewed Dave before his Glastonbury gig Credit: Getty Having been to see Foo Fighters more times than I can count, I was devastated when I failed to get tickets to see them headline Glastonbury Festival in 2017 - so I was thrilled when I was sent to interview them in London the day before they went to the festival instead. I - along with another newspaper journalist - waited excitedly at the posh five-star Savoy Hotel on the Strand, London for our moment with the band. Eventually, we were ushered into the grand suite with giant opulent velvet sofas and plush floral curtains - it felt like the wrong environment to be sitting down with Dave and his bandmate Taylor. We swear the whole f**king time. I basically say f**king in every sentence. I think I have anxiety driven Tourette's Dave Grohl We were offered tea poured into fancy tea cups before the chat about what it meant to them to headline at the Pyramid stage at Worthy Farm meant to them. They had been forced to pull out in 2015 after the frontman fell off the stage and broke his leg in Sweden. I was utterly charmed by them both - particularly Dave who gave enthusiastic answers to all my questions. 12 The Foo Fighters headlined Glastonbury Festival in 2017 Credit: Getty Images - Getty He was particularly amused when I told him headliner Adele had been scolded the previous year for swearing 33 times in 90 minutes. "You aren't allowed to f**king swear at the show? Good luck,' he warned the BBC. 'Oh god, they are in for a big surprise with that one. Sh*t I didn't realise that. We swear the whole f**king time. I basically say f**king in every sentence. I think I have anxiety driven Tourette's." Even his leg injury was treated with humour admitting: "There is no problem with my leg at all. "The only thing that I can't do it cross my legs. It doesn't even go off going through the security in airport. I'm so f**king bummed. I would love to tell that story." ROYAL CONNECTIONS 12 Prince Harry embracing Dave at the Invictus Games closing concert in 2014 Credit: Paul Edwards - The Sun He also revealed close pal Prince Harry [Foo Fighters played the Invictus Games closing concert in 2014] came to see him while he was recuperating from the operation in London. "Just after surgery, the first person to visit me was Will, the drummer from Coldplay and he brought me a paper. When I got to the hotel then Harry came over. He brought me a gift. It was a pillow you put your iPad on. It was really thoughtful. He's f**king great. Our nanny Alexis came in and it took her five minutes before she realised she was sitting in a room with Prince Harry. He's pretty unassuming. He's great." After posing for a snap, Dave said with a glint in his eye 'Make sure you watch our set'. Of course I tuned in at home. Dave took to the stage and said: 'Yesterday we were doing an interview and someone said 'You know you're not supposed to swear. "There's no swearing at Glastonbury.' I was like 'What the f**k is that supposed to mean?' and I guess Adele holds the record for the most f**ks at Glastonbury. "Now I love Adele but guess what f**k, f**k, f**k….. Ok I think we've broken the record. I think that was more than 33.' I was absolutely bowled over by him mentioning my interview on stage in front of all those people. While recovering from an affair is never easy - I imagine that charm and cheekiness has him get his marriage back on track. There is no doubt the loss of Taylor three years ago had a profound effect on Dave but I'm hoping this outing with Jordyn to the tennis means they are on the road to recovery.
