TV tonight: Joanna Lumley holidays with a beer-brewing nun
8.30pm, BBC OneHammond is proving to be well suited to these long-form interviews, which are deceptively lighthearted but not afraid to touch on more serious issues.

For Tudor-era operator Thomas Sackville, it was knowing 'the right thing to say to the right person at the right time' that enabled him to buy the sprawling Knole House in Kent.

The Wild Robot (Chris Sanders, 2024), 9.10am, 6.10pm, Sky Cinema Premiere
Chris Sanders's delightful family animation attains Wall-E levels of poignancy in its tale of a shipwrecked robot that learns how to feel. Washed up on a remote island populated only by animals, service unit Roz (voiced by Lupita Nyong'o) finds it has no one to serve. That is until it falls on to a goose's nest, killing all its occupants apart from runt of the litter Brightbill (Kit Connor) – who imprints on Roz as his mother. Assisted by Pedro Pascal's cynical fox Fink, the ever helpful machine reprogrammes itself to rear the gosling well enough so he can migrate with the other geese. The Disney-style anthropomorphising is a bit overdone, but it's a film full of warmth and wit. Simon Wardell

Hotel review: Voco Hotel and Spa, Winchester
Voco? Nope, not in my dictionary either, but it's a name to pay attention to for a hotel stay that weighs in way above standard offerings, but won't leave your wallet needing a sabbatical (rooms from £107, Launched back in 2018, in just seven years the hotel chain's sleek but never stuffy charm has made it one of InterContinental Hotel's fastest growing brands, with over 100 Vocos globally, including 19 in the UK. At its less-than-a-year-old Winchester offering, two miles from the city centre, that stepped-up experience which, while not five-star certainly nails upscale, is very much in evidence. It also lives up to its name. Voco, since you ask, is Latin for 'inviting'… Rooms and facilities Check-in is swift, smooth and, as well as a room key, will furnish you with a locally inspired treat. When you cross Voco Winchester's threshold it's hard not to rubberneck the Open Lobby's lounge first. Vast, airy and, yep, inviting, this buzzy ground-floor area is the beating heart of the hotel, where the brand's ambition to seduce you really begins. Boasting break-out sofa and chair areas, all looking the part thanks to a mix and match of mid-century-modern furnishings and vibing happily together via greys, blues and pops of teal, the feel is kickback yet classy. The mood? While-away-the-hours-here-for-as-long-as-you-like, hell, why not pull up a chair and watch some TV? Or, scrub that, with an all-day dining menu available courtesy of the hotel's Kitchen 21 restaurant, stage left, and the 24-hour bar, stage right, order some eats and drinks… One floor up, my super-king boudoir has much to seduce, too. Greys, blues and the occasional piece of modern art feel considered and chic, while clean lines and fuss-free furnishings give an already decent-sized room something of the Wembley about it. The bed is sprung to perfection, the sofa plump and beckons you to spread while you enjoy the Nespresso machine and wide-screen TV. As for the chair and desk… others might want to WFH, but I'm thinking more vanity table. While no cats are in danger of being swung in the more functional than fabulous en suite, there's still plenty of luxuriating factor to be had down at the ANA adults-only spa. Here five treatment rooms offer all manner of pamperings using Elemis products, plus there is a Himalayan salt sauna, crystal steam room, sensory shower and bubbly foot spa. There's also a manicure bar and lounge where lunch – plates include butternut squash soup, crispy calamari, Caesar salad – I discovered, is best enjoyed after not before a body wrap or deep muscle massage (treatments from £45). Quick tip: before you wander down to the spa in your hotel robe, sessions need to be booked in advance (from £10 person for a two-hour slot). Food and drink At Kitchen 21, all metro tiles, copper pendants with an open-kitchen nailing slick, breakfast comes set – continental or full English, from £16.95 – or a la carte, such as scrambled eggs, £9. Park yourself on a velvet banquette or sit outside on the terrace and enjoy your flat white as a wild pony passes. Here lunch and dinner is 'a modern take on traditional British cuisine', or, in our book, crowd-pleasing stuff: from burgers, fish and chips and a showstopping 21-inch pizza to slow-cooked lamb shank, pork belly and pumpkin ravioli, with mains around the £18 mark. Whatever you pick, get a side order of truffle fries! The bar, meanwhile, just yonder in the Open Lobby, is all metro sexy beneath a cascade of plants and statement pendants, and never sleeps. It's open 24/7 – as is the nearby vending machine – your one-stop-shop for midnight snacks. Hotel highlights Forget 'inviting' in Latin, I want to know what 'relaxed' is – as Voco nails it on the kickback front. Then there's that lounge, where you can watch the world go by – or rather the guests (which during my stay included Jeff Brazier) from the comfort of a squishy sofa. Despite being just off a roundabout by the A31, the location is just the sort of peaceful spot you need after hauling your cookies through the streets of Winchester, checking out the cathedral, Jane Austen's house et al and its car park means no having to road-rage it into the city – it's five minutes away in an Uber or there's a bus stop right outside the hotel. What to do nearby Did I mention Winchester, once the ancient capital of England and seat of King Alfred the Great? Buying a property here might be hard – it's one of the UK's most expensive cities – but finding things to do in it isn't. Well-known for its 11th-century cathedral, it's also the resting place of former resident Jane Austen, boasts the country's oldest continuously running school Winchester College (which has appeared in films such as Harry Potter and Les Miserables), and thanks to its bustling shops, pubs and restaurants scene, fabulous architecture, riverside walks and prime spot on edge of the rolling South Downs National Park, it attracts around four million visitors a year.

Princess Andre, 18, looks just like mum Katie Price before surgery as she poses at spa in Mexico
PRINCESS Andre looks the spitting image of her mum Katie Price in a series of new snaps taken from her latest holiday. Blonde beauty Princess - who turned 18 last month - appeared like Katie Price 's doppelganger as she posed in Mexico. 6 6 She simply wrote: "Spa day." With her long blonde curly hair down to her waist, Princess can be seen posing with her hand on her hip at a luxurious-looking retreat. With a glowing tan and wearing a white two-piece bikini, the star looked every inch like her mum back in her early modelling days in 1995. The fashionista's blue eyes popped against the water backdrop as she pulled some stances in the string floral bikini, accessorising with simple jewellery, spa wristbands and long painted nails. The pictures are a stunning match to her mum's old modelling shots, with curly natural hair, minimal make-up and an au natural figure. Step mum Dr Emily Andre replied: "Omg that spa!! Mills and Theo had a chocolate facial there." The Sun previously revealed how Princess is set to be a millionaire now she's 18 after signing a huge deal with fashion brand PrettyLittleThing and moving into TV. The youngster, whose mum shot to fame as glamour girl Jordan at the same age, is getting her own ITV show. Princess, whose dad is singer Peter Andre, is already signed to the same agency as older brother, Junior. But she hopes the fly-on-the-wall series will help launch her catwalk career. Princess is the daughter of singer Peter and Katie, the latter of which has undergone countless procedures over the years including veneers, filler, Botox, BBL, facelifts and boob jobs. The 18-year-old influencer was forced to hit back at trolls recently who accused her of having lip filler. But Princess has insisted she will stay natural, but did not judge anyone for the choices they made for their own body. "I feel like everyone is entitled to do what they want to their body. But I personally don't look at [cosmetic surgery] and think: ''Oh, yeah, I want to do that'," she previously told The Sun. "I think it's important, especially for the younger generation on social media, to embrace natural beauty. My sisters are 10, and I want to set an example to them that they're amazing how they are." Katie previously confessed that her many operations had put Princess off having surgery on face. Speaking on Olivia Attwood 's So Wrong It's Right podcast previously, she said: "She won't have surgery, she's seen me go through it all, she knows she's pretty, that's the difference." Katie - who recently went to Turkey for another facelift - spoke about what her kids see when she's in recovery. She said: "I look f****** awful. It's awful but it's real. It's not just the before and after, it's the in between. The glamour model has 'lost count' of the times she's gone under the knife to enhance her looks and has recently had another face lift. The TV star underwent tweakments abroad earlier this year after being unhappy with her recent £10,000 facelift. 6 6 6 6 Katie Price's Surgery: A Timeline 1998 - Katie underwent her first breast augmentation taking her from a natural B cup to a C cup.

Influencers at war over Bali! Molly-Mae's sister Zoe's scathing review of the country divides online critics over whether it is a digital nomad's dream or an 'overcrowded s***hole'
Molly Mae Hague 's sister Zoe Rae came under fire for leaving Bali just 48 hours after she arrived because it 'did not live up to expectations set by other influencers'. After sharing her honest review in a YouTube video, Zoe's followers claimed they were 'surprised' by her reaction because the country is a developing area of the world where many live in poverty. While the five star resorts - like the Radisson Blu Utuwata where Zoe stayed - portray exclusive luxury, a lot of the country does not match up to the flawless social media aesthetic projected by influencers online. Many poked fun at Zoe, 28, for not realising this was the case after she complained that she and her husband Danny had 'missed the mark' when they decided to celebrate their anniversary in Bali. However, others have agreed with the former army medic and said that they were also shocked by the reality of the country - which they described as 'dirty and smelly' - in their own scathing reviews. After a look at the opinions on TikTok, influencers are at odds over their Bali experience, with contrasting reviews both raving over the area and slating the country as a 'terrible' holiday destination. Despite staying in a huge sea view room at the Radisson Blu, a five-star hotel, they decided to leave early and jet to Dubai instead. Zoe explained that Bali looks better on social media than in real life, as influencers make it look luxurious, despite it being a developing country. She claimed that it did not meet their high expectations after being promised 'lovely places to eat, beaches, gyms and coffee shops'. However she insisted that the 'reality' of Bali is not shown online, which she believes is down to influencers sharing a misleading version online. HATE IT One of the online critics who agreed with Zoe and Danny's point of view was fitness and travel influencer Harry - whose Tiktok handle is @resurgent_harry. Harry told his followers he was 'so glad' the couple had voiced their opinion after he travelled the country for two months and 'tried so hard to like it'. In a new clip shared to his page, Harry said: 'I'm so glad Zoe and Danny said what they did. Bali is Dubai for people that can't afford Dubai. 'Went to Bali for two months and I tried so hard to like it. I've known Danny for years and I just felt exactly the same. 'It's for people who want to post fancy pictures and tell everyone how great their life is. But Dubai has created its own infrastructure and it's own ecosystem and lifestyle and everything, and Bali doesn't have that. Also in agreement was @pavlazarou, who claimed he felt too scared to eat and complained about the smell after being 'gaslighted' by Instagram Revealing what he didn't like about Bali, he continued: 'It is completely overcrowded. There's no infrastructure, but somehow it's still quite expensive. It is aesthetic, only is very small pockets. The gyms are amazing but as soon as you leave the gyms, you are being run over by scooters on the pavements. 'You can't go for a run, there is trash everywhere. The beaches are completely covered in trash. The people there are just trying to convince you, themselves and everyone that they're really successful. And then try and convince you to buy their course. 'I'm sorry I never normally say bad things about places online and I've been to a lot of places but Bali was the worst place that I have travelled to. And I went to Ukraine last year.' Also in agreement was @pavlazarou, who claimed he felt too scared to eat and complained about the smell after being 'gaslighted' by Instagram. He said: 'We've spent three days now in Seminyak and three days in Jangu now, it's an unpopular opinion but Bali is a f***ing s*****e. 'Everywhere is dirty, it stinks everywhere. You feel too scared to eat the food. Instagram and TikTok has gaslighted me into thinking this place is nice but it's not. It's minging and there's nothing to do. 'I don't mean to be so negative but I've come all this way to try and enjoy myself but I just don't get the hype. Like is this really what people come all this way for? I don't get it. 'We're meant to be going to Ubud, Uluwatu and Gili Islands and I'm hoping it's so much better than this. Right now I want nothing more than to leave and go home.' Meanwhile, Corrin's main complaint for the country was the traffic, which she told her 4,000 TikTok followers was completely 'unbearable'. The influencer - whose handle is @cor_98 - said: ' Everyone says come to Bali it's an amazing place to come. Honestly I absolutely hate it, look at this. 'Traffic is everywhere. Look how built up it is, it's awful. You can't even move. You can't even cross the road. 'You stand at a zebra crossing and everyone still goes by. Literally you're just asking yourself to be run over. The traffic is unbearable, I've never seen something like this in my life. It's changed my perspective completely.' LOVE IT However, there were many staunch advocates for the Bali who praised the 'beautiful' views across the ocean in scenic videos of the area. Fiona Wang - who goes by @heyfionawang - insisted that the 'real Bali' is not overrated as she posted a sneak peek at her accomodation. She said: 'If you think Bali is overrated like I did the first time I came here, it's because you don't know where to go. Because look at this, oh my lord, that's the ocean and the pool and that's so beautiful and that's my villa. 'Actually have the views directly to this and all this is only $120. So this is called Segara Seaside in Nusa Ceningan and in my next video I'll give you a full review and show you the real Bali that is not overrated. Meanwhile, Tom Birchy - known as @tombirchy on the platform - revealed that Bali was growing on him after previously being a 'hater' of the country. He said: 'When we got here two days ago we were driving through the streets and we were like wow it's a bit dirty here like, look, there's a river - not looking its best. 'But after two days here I'm kind of getting the charm. It's definitely not for me, it's different - but I get it.' He admitted he can see why people are drawn to the island as a place to base themselves as a digital nomad. He said: 'If you're in your late 20s, early 30s, a digital nomad looking for a place to base yourself with a load of likeminded individuals Bali's got that. Especially this area I'm in now, Changu.' Revealing what it's got going for it, he said: 'It's got brekkie spots and artisan coffee shops, everything you could want. 'But I do kind of go, ah, it doesn't really have much authenticity. It seems like Australia light. I guess that's kind of the business model here. ' Indonesia is an Islamic country, but a secular one. So they have zoned all the s*** to Bali. All of the nightclubs, party culture. 'All of that stuff is kept here to concentrate it so it doesn't over spill into other locations. Kind of cool. But yeah, it's interesting. I like all the little shops, they're different and there's lots of boutiques. It's a cool place, maybe I'll change my mind about Bali.' Alex (alcross) was also in favour of encouraging others to visit Bali, as she recommended the nice restaurants and stunning sunsets. She said: 'I'm just on the beach in Uluwatu in Bali and I just wanted to do a quick review. I've only been here for four nights and the great thing about it is that it's much quieter than Jangu. That's the only place I've been so far. 'The beaches are nicer and quieter, it's a much more chilled vibe. The only thing I would say is that you need to learn to ride a scooter or you can't get around that easily. But it's really good. Much more of my kind of vibe than Jangu. There's so many nice restaurants and places to eat, and a beautiful place to watch the sunset.' Sharing his own honest review of Bali, Liam Etheridge (liametheridge2) said that he was drawn to the country because of his love of beaches and it didn't disappoint. He said: 'A lot of people are asking at the moment if Bali is worth going to if you're travelling around SE Asia. My simple answer for this is yes. Three reasons why I wanted to come here was purely because I love beaches. 'So the beaches in Bali are absolutely insane. Especially if you like surfing the waves here i Uluwatu to Noosaduwa are really good for that. And the second reason which we haven't actually done yet is the diving.' 'In Ko Tao (Thailand) we got our diving licences and every instructor said go to Bali because the diving in insane. There's so much to do here, you've got the rise terraces and mountains. You can hike for sunrise, volcanoes. 'And then you've also got the waterfalls. So if you enjoy all of that then Bali is definitely worth the trip.' In his own expletive-laden review, Mashtag Brady said: 'So far, honest review of Bali. Greatest place ever! What is everyone talking about? The amount of messages I got saying why are you going there it's f***ing shit.
