Phlur, Anthropologie & M&S — where our shopping expert's spending this weekend
Sorry, but where has the time gone? One minute it was July, now it's August — and while we wait (impatiently) for the heatwave to make its grand return, here's your latest edition of Trend Trove, aka your go-to for everything HOT from the high street.
Our shopping expert's been out doing the Lord's work again, and she's uncovered the best of the best — from the return of Dusk's five-time sell-out lamp to FACEGYM's new skincare that we need to buy immediately. PHLUR's dropped another dreamy scent (warning: it's addictive AF), and Smythson's already thinking ahead with their 2026 diaries. Yes, really.
She's also found jewellery that'll make your group chat scream, pjs to keep you cool for heatwave 2.0 (we're manifesting), IT girl trainers, and the trench coat everyone will be wearing this AW25. Oh, and plenty of shoes, homeware and beauty bits that'll have your bank account crying — or just bookmark for payday, birthdays, or Christmas (because it's never too early, right?).
And while we cling to our favourite summer dress hoping for a sunny encore, Pret is bringing the vibes with limited-edition beaded cup holders to match their new iced lattes — available for one day only on Monday 4 August at three UK shops. Think Matcha, Ube Brûlée and Spirulina Macaron, with just 20 holders per location. It's first-come, first-served, so latte lovers, be quick.

They look like a picture-perfect American family posing for a Christmas card. But the final photo is for an obituary
People who might have seen Salym Liufau, her husband, David, and four children posing for professional photographs in a leafy park likely thought they were just another family having pictures taken for their Christmas card. After all, how could they have known the deeper significance of the occasion? At the end of the 45-minute shoot in November 2024, Liufau took the photographer aside and gently requested a portrait of her alone.

Mrs Brown's Boys loses 8,500,000 viewers as fans complain 'it's got even worse'
Mrs Brown's Boys is somehow back for another season, but its viewership has dropped off a cliff amid growing calls to axe the show. The BBC comedy returned on Friday night after a two-year break and a widely-panned Christmas special to a viewership of 1,500,000 fans. This is a whopping 8.5million down from Mrs Brown's Boys' heyday and a far cry from its once lofty title of 'best British sitcom' less than a decade ago. While overnight ratings are criticised for not showing the full picture in the age of streaming, they do highlight just how far the once-popular comedy has fallen. Launching in 2011, the series follows the life of the interfering Agnes Brown (played by writer and creator Brendan O'Carroll) and her family. It's proven one of the most divisive shows of all time, with this series cementing viewers' opinions that the 'axe looms'. SuperTV shared on X that the show 'returned last night with just 1.5 million viewers, the lowest audience it has ever recorded.' The ratings elicited the expected reactions from those who are less than enthusiastic about revisiting Mammy's world. 'Mrs Brown come collect ya tings from BBC Studios then,' joked floellaumbagabe as iJordan said: 'Nature is healing'. '8.5 million people have clearly had a word with themselves,' wrote johnoconnell6, while pheebs_18 asked: 'Time for this show to finally end? 😭' SamFarmer2 added: 'Because people are fed up with it and fed up with the recycled jokes.' SkylarSkye14 declared it the 'worst show of all time' as they watched on Friday night, amid others begging to 'make it stop'. '1.5 million lunatics still chose to put themselves through it tho. Madness,' mikepriestley13 pointed out. Defending Mrs Brown's Boys, ScottTHFC23 wrote: 'Still a very good number without including catch-up and iplayer people.' It's true that viewing habits have changed, with fewer people watching TV as it airs and more opting for the flexibility of on-demand viewing. At the peak of Mrs Brown's Boys' popularity — their third season in 2012 — it brought in over 9million viewers every episode. That year saw 10.72million people tune in for the Christmas Eve episode, with a whopping 11.69million returning the next day for the second part. After four years, this festive figure had dropped slightly to 8.98million but remained steady with the show voted as the best British sitcom of the 21st century. In response to this, O'Carroll said: 'It vindicates the fans' belief in the show. They have kept us on the air – it certainly wasn't the reviewers. 'There is an audience out there that comedy forgot – that Are You Being Served? audience has been left behind. Us winning this award proves that.' Mrs Brown's Boys has never received good reviews, but the show is struggling to compete a decade on, despite once being voted as better than The Office or Gavin and Stacey. Last year's Christmas episode pulled in a measly 2.2million viewers, while Gavin and Stacey's return yielded 10million more viewers. Behind the scenes, there has been controversy too, as rehearsals for the festive episode were halted temporarily after O'Carroll 'implied' a racial slur. More Trending After the BBC investigated the incident, he apologised for his 'clumsy attempt at a joke', which he said had 'backfired and caused offence'. He was accused of starting to utter the N-word before he was stopped by a co-star. Metro once wrote that the BBC should 'hang its head in shame' for broadcasting Mrs Brown's Boys. Could this season finally be the nail in the coffin? Mrs Brown's Boys is available to watch now on BBC iPlayer and airs Fridays at 9.30pm on BBC One. Got a story?

‘10 years after Poldark, I hope my brooding period drama fills the void'
Sam Claflin has been a familiar face on our screens for over a decade. He won the hearts of Hunger Games fans as Finnick Odair in the dystopian film franchise, left cinemagoers heartbroken opposite Emilia Clarke in Me Before You, and gave a sinister performance as real-life fascist politician Oswald Mosley in Peaky Blinders. Now, the 39-year-old is playing arguably his most vengeful role yet, becoming the latest actor to embody Alexandre Dumas' legendary literary character Edmond Dantès in The Count of Monte Cristo. Metro recently spoke to Sam about portraying the compelling character, remarking how ever since Poldark began 10 years ago, it's felt as though there's been a gap on TV for a new brooding period drama… and perhaps The Count of Monte Cristo could fill that void. 'I definitely hope so. I know there have been shows like Bridgerton that have brought a fresh edge to the genre, but I think there's always an audience for these classic retellings,' he responds. 'As a kid who grew up watching The Three Musketeers and being such a fan of Alexander Dumas' previous works, that world and that era is strangely exciting and almost fantastical, because it feels much before our time. So it almost feels like a history lesson.' It was apparently evident during our Zoom call how big a fan I am of dark period dramas, as he then added: 'You can only hope that audiences are craving as much as you seem to be, but I definitely feel like it has all the elements that could, could make it a must-watch.' Like us, Sam couldn't believe it when he took stock of the fact that Poldark – which shot Aidan Turner to a stratospheric level of fame as the scything army captain Ross Poldark – is 10 years old. 'I definitely am like you. I love historical drama. But I guess we haven't had that much,' he says. 'I remember when it was all the rage, it put Aidan Turner on the map. It was a great series.' Edmond Dantès has been depicted multiple times in films and TV shows over the years, with actors who've taken on the role including the likes of John Gilbert, Richard Chamberlain and Jim Caviezel. The character embarks on a warpath for revenge when he's wrongfully imprisoned for several years and separated from the love of his life. When Edmond returns to society, he's transformed into the Count of Monte Cristo and is a shadow of the man he was before.

'The characters are so rich and complex, and that's not just Edmond's character, but every single character within the story, the subplots and sidelines. 'It's just an incredibly authentic insight into what life was like back then in France, the politics, as much as seeing how the nobility lived.' In recent years, some of Sam's biggest projects have included starring as rockstar Billy Dunne in Daisy Jones and the Six, and as Sherlock's brother Mycroft Holmes in Enola Holmes, alongside Millie Bobby Brown and Henry Cavill. He has no shortage of iconic roles under his belt – but for him, The Count of Monte Cristo was a 'dream job'. 'There's so many layers to him', he explains. 'The whole story is him pretending or acting as another character, even though he's someone else – it was quite a head spin. Am I Edmond, or am I still the Count of Monte Cristo? It was a challenge, but one that I was very excited to get my teeth stuck into.' In the early stages of his career, Sam admits that he tended to go for roles that he felt would take him 'as far away from myself as possible', so that he could 'hide behind the characters that I was playing and disappear in them'. 'Or at least thought I was trying to do my best to do that,' he shares. 'But actually, and this is me looking back in reflection, I feel that it loses some of its authenticity when you're completely hiding.' So in recent years, he's tried to lean more towards characters that he can relate to on a deeper level, or who have had similar experiences to him, or someone that he knows. More Trending 'I don't know anyone who has been as vengeful as Edmond Dantès. But I definitely found myself more recently being more drawn to roles that are modern-day and men rather than boys, if that makes sense,' he states. 'Up until recently, I kept feeling like scripts were coming across my desk looking for someone in their mid-20s who is a boy turning into a man. I'm like, no, I'm 39, those stories have got to stop. 'I have new strings to my bow. I'm a dad, and I've lived a life and navigated a lot of things that I feel I can bring to my art or storytelling that will feel authentic and real rather than pretending.'
