Sky Sports ‘bring back iconic football show that ran for 20 years' after it was axed in 2020
The broadcasting giant are reportedly planning on bringing back a Sunday media review show - similar to previous fan favourite show Sunday Supplement.
1
Sunday Supplement, which ran for 20 years, was axed by Sky Sports back in 2020.
But, according to the Mail Online, the company has now decided to resurrect the format, but won't be bringing the name back to life with it.
Sunday Supplement saw industry insiders and journalists talk through the weekend's drama and chat about the major stories set for the papers too.
Despite its disappearance off screens five years ago, Sky still gave fans a taste of the show in podcast form in the years since.
It's claimed that Sky Sports are expected to make an announcement in the coming weeks.
SunSport have approached Sky for comment.
Sunday Supplement first formed part of Sky's offering in 1999 under the name of Hold The Back Page.
The show was first hosted by former Match of the Day host Jimmy Hill, while other hosts over the years included Brian Woolnough and Neil Ashton.
And high-profile panelists involved in show included the likes of Henry Winter and Oliver Holt.
Sky pointed to the congested football calendar following Covid-19 as one of the reasons they chose to take Sunday Supplement off air.

F1 chief wants to see record-breaking Silverstone stay on calendar for good
The Formula One chief executive, Stefano Domenicali, has said he would like the British Grand Prix at Silverstone to remain on the F1 calendar for ever, with the event set to host what is expected to be the largest meeting in the sport's history, reaching half a million people over four days this weekend. The British GP, which has been on the calendar since F1 began in 1950, is expected to sell out with record numbers and Domenicali acknowledged it was part of a large and thriving F1 business in Britain, which he hopes can be improved by working closer with the UK government when he meets the prime minister, Keir Starmer, and other government officials at Downing Street on Wednesday afternoon. Last year Silverstone extended its contract with F1 to host the race until 2034, one of many long-term deals the sport has concluded recently, including Austria extending to 2041 last week, but Domenicali said the British GP was such a unique event for the sport in size and interest it could negotiate a deal of even greater longevity. 'Silverstone has the right characteristics to stay for ever in the calendar,' he said. 'There's no other places where you can develop such a huge event in the UK. I don't see any other places, to be honest. 'In the past the relationship with the Silverstone promoters has been intense and they know that. Our approach is to find the best situation. I don't see Silverstone not being able, if they want, to do what others have already done. We've done already last year a big step, never done before.' The meeting on Wednesday, to celebrate F1's 75th anniversary, will include senior figures from F1, including drivers and team principals as well as apprentices and members of the all-female F1 Academy. It is hoped to be part of a developing relationship with the government to work better with the sport, notably in areas including infrastructure and over the effects of Brexit on F1, with seven of the 10 teams based in the UK. F1 is now an increasingly important industrial player in the UK. It is worth £12bn to the economy annually and employs 6,000 people directly, with a further 41,000 in the 4,500 associated supply chain companies. 'I will highlight to the prime minister the technology and the centres of excellence that are in the UK,' Domenicali said. 'Of the fact that with Brexit there are complications for movements, there are complications for the visas. I'm saying that because I think that it's relevant to keep the possibility for people to be attracted to work here. Because if you lose that link, then immediately the centre could be moving other places.'

Visa issues for entry to the UK also still exist for those coming to work here in F1 and Domenicali hoped what is a continuing dialogue would prove fruitful. 'We have already formally presented in order to see if in the agenda of the government there will be a sort of attention to this, it's our duty to present respectfully in the right way to them,' he said. 'Of course, there is the hope for the government to understand if there is a way to have some exceptions or a way to work around the needs that we have. We will not decide the priority on which your government will dictate the agenda for the next step but we're going to do it in the right way.'

Bethenny Frankel mocks Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's $50M wedding
Bethenny Frankel took to social media this week to voice her opinion on Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's wedding extravaganza. The 55-year-old former journalist and 61-year-old Amazon founder gathered with loved ones to tie the knot in Italy last weekend. On Monday the ex Real Housewives of New York City personality, 54, unleashed her thoughts via TikTok and Instagram posts. In a minute-long video clip, she ranted about the couple's tacky invitation, which even drew ire from a tech giant. 'Ok, I've been diplomatic about the wedding,' Frankel began before adding, 'When I saw the invitation, that's when I got lost.' She made a point to issue a disclaimer ahead of her criticism: 'I happen to love Lauren Sánchez and I also adore Amazon, so I am treading lightly. But you know me, I have a difficult time holding back when I have an opinion.' Bethenny, known for her hot takes, joked, '[With] the invitation, you lost me. 'And as a result, for the people, I'm going to start dating so I can eventually get married and have a wedding and make up for that invitation because that invitation... I could not stay silent.' Noting her tendency to catch flack for being outspoken, she continued, 'I'm sorry. It's the lord's work. I take a couple of hits, I get dinged up and bruised, and I get into trouble but the invitation is where you lost me.' Frankel — who called off her engagement to Paul Bernon in 2024 and later dated Tom Villante — declared: 'I am open for business after seven months. 'I am starting to date for the people and I will be having a wedding at some point. 'I just don't know when or where, but I can't wait for you to see my invitation.' Across her video, which was filmed on a boat as she wore a sun hat, sunglasses, and a white bra, was the hilarious note, 'POV: I'm getting married...' Bethenny captioned the post, 'Ps. I'm in a bra on a you should question the source....' Lauren and Jeff's invitation, obtained by ABC News last week ahead of the wedding, featured computer-generated graphics of butterflies, doves, the Venice canals, gondolas, and feathers in purple, gray and pink. The public quickly took to the internet to criticize the correspondence, which many agreed looked like it had been created by a '10-year-old.' Using the buzz as a promotional opportunity, content creator tool Adobe Express took to Instagram with a subtle slight to the bride and groom and posted a much more sophisticated-looking iteration.

Why Sydney Sweeney attended Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez wedding despite 'not being friends with either of them'
Why Sydney Sweeney attended Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez wedding despite 'not being friends with either of them' Have YOU got a story? Email tips@ The Venice, Italy wedding of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez was quite the star-studded affair, with the event filled with A-listers. The guest list included everyone from Orlando Bloom to Scooter Braun to Kim Kardashian, to name just a few. One of the more surprising celebs spotted in Venice was actress Sydney Sweeney, which had many scratching their heads since she doesn't appear to be close friends with either the bride or the groom. The 27-year-old made headlines during the festivities by partying with the likes of Tom Brady and recently-single Orlando Bloom. Still, her inclusion at the lavish $50 million wedding turned quite a few heads, though now a new report sheds some light on why she was actually there. It seems Sweeney's arrival was a show of respect for her future boss Bezos, according to a new report from Page Six.

The adaptation will be directed by Jon M. Chu (Wicked) and written by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick (Deadpool & Wolverine). Then in early June, Amazon MGM Studios picked up the project, which seemingly lead to an invite extended to Sweeney for Bezos' wedding. A source admitted Sweeney, 'is not friends with either one of them,' though adding she, 'came to pay respect to the "boss," just like in the old days of Hollywood.' The fantasy/sci-fi game Split Fiction follows authors Mio and Zoe who become trapped within the worlds they have written. It's unclear which of the two main characters Sweeney will portray, with Amazon said to be 'actively looking' to cast her co-star. Sweeney will also be returning to HBO's Euphoria as Cassie Howard, and she recently starred in Apple TV Plus' Echo Valley with Julianne Moore. She is also playing trailblazing female boxer Christy Martin in an upcoming biopic that is in post-production and expected to be released later this year.

Sources told Daily Mail that they were going through a 'rough patch' and they were trying to 'reassess' their relationship. Another report said that Sweeney felt 'overwhelmed' by the wedding and she 'didn't feel right about it.'
