Newly-single Orlando Bloom spotted hanging out with Sydney Sweeney in Venice – weeks after she confirmed fiance split
ORLANDO Bloom enjoyed the stunning sights of Venice with equally beautiful companion Sydney Sweeney after they attended the showbiz wedding of the year. The screen star, 48, "made his debut as a single man" at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's A-List nuptials just days after his split with popstar Katy Perry was revealed. 11 Newly single Sydney Sweeney and Orlando Bloom were spotted enjoying a stroll in Venice following Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding Credit: BackGrid 11 Sydney, 27, looked stunning in a black floral midi dress Credit: BackGrid 11 They were joined by a group as they soaked up the sights of the European city Credit: BackGrid 11 Orlando - who was said to be making his debut as a single man at Amazon founder Jeff's wedding - opted for all-black sports attire Credit: BackGrid 11 Sydney opted for red kitten heel shoes for her walk Credit: BackGrid 11 The pair's split was revealed this month Credit: Getty 11 The pair were part of the A List contingent to celebrate Amazon founder Jeff Bezos' wedding top journalist Lauren Sanchez Credit: Reuters The pair, who share daughter Daisy, aged four, had been engaged to be wed following nine years together. Yet after Roar hitmaker Katy, 40, was said to have already told pals their relationship was as good as done - and reports claimed the Lord Of the Rings alum "won't win her back" - the pair appear to be broken up for good. After lapping up the celebration vibes at Jeff and Lauren's the three-day celebration, which saw the happy couple said I Do at the stunning San Giorgio Maggiore monastery in Venice, Orlando, 48, hit the picturesque streets of the Italian city with Sydney, 27. It came after she was spotted leaving the Friday nuptials donning a pastel dress and skyscraper heels. For their outings, she stuck to her summer style with a plunging black froral midi dress. She paired her sleeveless attire with red kitten toe heels and added a pair of sunglasses as she strolled outside next to the Pirates of the Caribbean alum. Sydney left her blonde hair in loose waves over her shoulders but kept a serious expression as they headed out in the sunshine alongside each other, but with the rest of a wider group. The In The Vault star is in a similar romantic position to fellow big screen star Orlando, after having split with her fiance of seven years just months ago. Sydney and Jonathan Davino, who got engaged in 2022, have chosen to spend time apart after their relationship hit the rocks, according to insiders. The pair were part of the 200-strong A List contingent heading to Venice for the wedding - and clearly eager to explore the European hotspot in mode depth. Heartbroken Katy Perry told pals in January that Orlando Bloom relationship was OVER - as star removes engagement ring Other VIPs including Oprah Winfrey and Bezos' stepfather Mike Bezos were snapped leaving their hotels, while security was tight across the city. At least 95 private jets are said to have landed for the occasion. Their wedding venue was recently revealed as an "open air theatre" on the island, while a series of jaw-droppingly pricey hotel suites were also booked out for the happy couple and their guests. Meanwhile, Orlando was seen embracing Keeping Up With The Kardashians alum Kim Kardashian, 44, at the three-day celebration. It came after he was caught "ogling" the Skims founder and Hulu Tv star in an image taken on a night out with popstar Katy, 40. LETTING SLIP It has previously been claimed that Orlando's former fiance Katy - who is on tour in Australia - had told her mates their engagement was over at the start of the year, before removing her engagement ring. A source close to the couple said at the time: 'Katy confided in friends at the start of the year that their relationship was as good as done. 'They decided to hold off on announcing anything in case things improved between them, because they are desperate to stay together for the sake of their daughter. "But they have spent barely any time together this year, with Katy on tour and Orlando working on his upcoming film Bucking Fastard in Dublin. 'She knew that taking off her engagement ring would send a clear message. 'It's been a hard year so far. They wanted to wait until the tour is over before they made their split official, although Katy has grown tired of the situation.' The couple started dating in 2016 and got engaged three years later. However, The Sun understands they had difficult conversations about their future over Christmas and in January but struggled to make a firm decision. Reps for the couple refused to comment when approached about their separation in February and again this week. ALL CHANGE Last week, The Sun reported how Orlando and Katy held crisis talks to try to save their relationship after leading increasingly separate lives. American news website TMZ then said Brit-born Orlando would be 'the life of the party' and that he would be hitting 'the dancefloor hard' when he arrives in Italy for the nuptials. An insider said: 'No one has decided it's definitely the end of the road for Katy and Orlando. 'They both love each other, but they have been living different lives for at least a year and in different mindsets.' It's understood Orlando and Katy are planning on reuniting on July 4 when there is a break in her touring schedule. The insider added: 'They have barely been together for a decent amount of time, without distractions, for many, many months.' Tensions within their relationship also reached boiling point after Katy's flight to space on board Jeff's Blue Origin. Katy, along with Lauren and Gayle King, were hit with a public backlash and those close to Orlando said he had warned Katy about taking part. They said: 'From day one, Orlando didn't think going on the Blue Origin mission was a good idea, and knew she would face a backlash.' 11 Sydney was seen leaving the Italian nuptials in a flowing floral dress Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 11 Orlando, 48, shared an embrace with Kim Kardashian ahead of the ceremony Credit: BackGrid 11 Mum of one Katy is said to have told pals their relationship was over earlier this year Credit: Getty

The Pitt: show with 95% rating still not available in the UK
The Pitt is one of the most acclaimed shows of 2025 - but you can't legally watch it in the UK 😫 Sign up to our daily newsletter Sign up Thank you for signing up! Did you know with a Digital Subscription to Edinburgh News, you can get unlimited access to the website including our premium content, as well as benefiting from fewer ads, loyalty rewards and much more. Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... The Pitt is one of the most acclaimed shows of 2025. Noah Wyles returns to the world of medical TV for the show. It has a 95 per cent rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Fans of medical dramas continue to miss out on one of the most acclaimed shows of the year - at least in the UK. The Pitt debuted in America back in January 2025 but it still doesn't have a release date on this side of the pond. Noah Wyles, who was one of the stars of ER back in the 1990s and 2000s, has returned to familiar ground for this acclaimed Max show. Unlike other HBO shows it didn't immediately come to Sky Atlantic and Now TV. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad But why can't you watch it yet in the UK? Here's all you need to know: What is The Pitt about? Noah Wyle, Tracy Ifeachor in The Pitt | John Johnson/HBO The show, which brings together former ER collaborators Noah Wyles and R. Scott Gemmill, is a fresh twist on the medical drama. The synopsis for the first season on Rotten Tomatoes reads: 'A realistic examination of the challenges facing healthcare workers in America as seen through the lens of the frontline heroes working in a modern-day hospital in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.' Across its 15 episodes, the show charts one single 15 hour shift in the titular hospital. Each episode covers roughly one hour of said shift - similar to how 24 worked back in the day. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad It has a 95 per cent certified fresh rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes - and an equally high 85 per cent audience score on the popcornmeter. So it seems like a real must watch. Why can't you watch The Pitt in the UK? Despite its critical acclaim and popularity with viewers in the US - it has already been renewed for a second series - it can't currently be watched legally in the UK. The show premiered on the streaming service Max (set to revert back to the name HBO Max soon) in January and it is not one that we have on this side of the pond yet. Unlike other HBO and Max shows, The Pitt has not been picked up for coverage by Sky Atlantic/ Now TV - which is a tad unusual. We reached out to Sky to see if they would be broadcasting it, but they did not respond. One wrinkle is that HBO Max is finally set to launch in the UK in 2026. It is set to bring together Max's streaming library with Discovery+ and TNT Sports - with further details in due course. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Unlike other European countries, HBO Max had not previously launched on our side of the pond due to Warner Brothers Discovery's deal with Sky - which is why shows like Game of Thrones and The White Lotus are broadcast on Sky Atlantic. However a deal has been struck and will see the ad-supported version of Max bundled in for Sky customers at no extra cost at launch, paving the way for its release in early 2026. The Pitt could be being saved as a potential draw to get people to subscribe to HBO Max upon its launch in the UK - but that is speculation on my part.

BBC will air Neil Young's Glastonbury set in sudden change of schedule plans
It has been announced that Neil Young's Glastonbury performance will be aired on the BBC tonight after all. Neil Young has made a full 180 decision over his headline performance at Glastonbury, which is taking place at the Pyramid stage later tonight. In a whiplash-inducing turn of events, the BBC will in fact air the musician's performance, after it was announced earlier this week that Young had requested his set not be televised live. A BBC spokesperson said: "We are delighted to confirm that Neil Young's headline set from Glastonbury on Saturday will be broadcast live to audiences across the UK on the BBC.' Viewers will be able to watch the performance on iPlayer's Pyramid Stage stream from 10pm, as well as BBC Two and Radio 2. On-demand plans continue to be finalised, reported The Mirror. Young announced last year he would play Glastonbury in 2025, only to retract his decision upon learning of the BBC's involvement. However, he later changed his mind. BBC presenter Colin Paterson explained earlier this week: "I asked [event co-organiser] Emily Eavis what was going on and she says she does not believe that Neil Young's set will be broadcast by the BBC. "There's been all kinds of backstage wrangling and negotiations, but as things currently stand, Neil Young's headline set on Saturday night will not be broadcast by the BBC. Instead, they'll be showing Charli xcx." When Young played Glastonbury in 2009, only five songs were televised. Speaking at the time Mark Cooper, then executive producer of the BBC's Glastonbury coverage, said: 'Neil Young's career has been conducted on his own terms. They believe in the live event and retaining its mystery and that of their artist. "They have decided to make one song available online over the weekend to give a flavour of his set. That's Rockin' in the Free World and that's their decision. You probably won't find too many Neil Young performances available freely on TV or online.' In another development, fans are now fearful after his last two European shows in Bergen, Norway, and Copenhagen, Denmark, were hit with sound problems. Fans complained about a poor vocal mix during the show, and some were also unhappy that on at least one of those shows, Neil didn't have any large screens for fans to see the action from the back of the crowd. BBC bosses are said to be treading carefully after the star pulled out of the festival earlier this year citing concerns about the BBC's 'corporate control'. He said in January: 'We were told that BBC was now a partner in Glastonbury and wanted us to do a lot of things in a way we were not interested in. It seems Glastonbury is now under corporate control and is not the way I remember it being.' A BBC spokeswoman said: 'We aim to bring audiences as many performances as possible from the Pyramid Stage, and our schedules and plans continue to be finalised, right up to and during the festival.' Young has voiced his concerns, making principled stands recently. He blocked his music from Spotify for two years, saying a podcaster on the platform had spread vaccine misinformation.
