Two popular channels brought BACK to Virgin Media today after they disappeared from TV guides – exact codes for return
The two channels had briefly vanished from the Virgin Media EPG (electronic programme guide), leaving some viewers scratching their heads.
2
But they've now made a comeback – and have even had a bit of a revamp.
Sky Jurassic World has returned under its new name Sky Action, while Sky Superman is now rebranded as Sky Sci-Fi/Horror HD.
Virgin Media customers can find Sky Action on channel 410, and Sky Sci-Fi/Horror HD on channel 412.
Both are back free of charge and available to watch immediately.
There's no need to update your box or do anything manually – the channels should appear automatically as part of a wider refresh.
These changes follow similar updates on Sky, which recently reshuffled parts of its entertainment and movie offerings.
As part of the shake-up, Sky has scrapped several themed channels, including Sky Blockbusters, Sky Pitch Perfect, and Sky Family.
These have now been replaced by Sky Hits, Sky Comedy, and Sky Fantasy – with fresh line-ups of movies and shows.
That means some specific films and collections viewers may have gotten used to – like the Pitch Perfect trilogy or family classics such as Matilda, Paddington, and The Secret Life of Pets – could now be found under new categories, or may have been removed entirely.
Sky is known to rotate its content regularly, so while some favourites disappear, others are often brought in.
Newer titles and seasonal picks are usually introduced to keep things fresh.
Virgin Media users may also start to see other additions from Sky's broader channel list.
That includes a handful of extra documentary and entertainment channels featuring shows like Homes Under The Hammer, The Art of Architecture, and live events across sport and music.
The update is being rolled out to all Virgin Media TV customers, and no special package upgrade is required.
If you're not seeing the new channels yet, it may help to reboot your Virgin TV box to trigger the refresh.

Amanda Holden flaunts her jaw-dropping figure in a stylish orange bikini during family getaway in Greece
Amanda Holden showed off her incredible figure in an orange bikini as she continued to soak up the sun in Greece on Thursday. The TV personality, 54, wowed fans as she struck a sultry pose on the edge of an infinity pool during her family holiday. In snaps shared to her Instagram, Amanda looked sensational in the skimpy two-piece from Melissa Odabash, which consisted of a wrap-around bikini top and matching tie-side bottoms. Flaunting her tanned and toned figure, she opted for further accessorising her poolside look with a beige wide-brim hat and a pair of black shades. She captioned the sizzling snaps: 'Soaking it all up ☀️.' The bikini-clad snap comes shortly after Amanda showed off her enviable figure in a yellow string bikini on Wednesday. In a snap shared to her Instagram Story, Amanda looked incredible in the skimpy two-piece as she posed on a luxurious boat during her lavish trip. It comes after Amanda revealed her youngest daughter, Hollie, 13, has landed her first runway show, walking in London Fashion Week later this year. The radio presenter recently joked she is the new Kris Jenner as her two lookalike daughters are now following in her showbiz footsteps. Hollie will make her catwalk debut alongside model and university student sister Lexi, 19, who is already signed to Storm Models. When Amanda spoke with MailOnline at Claridge's hotel in London, she revealed that Hollie had 'no idea' that she had bagged her first modelling gig, as the presenter had 'literally only just heard' about it minutes before sitting down for the interview. She said: 'Lexi's good, she's sort of dipped her toe in and she's done a couple of photoshoots. She is loving university as well, but what she doesn't like doing is taking time off, so I think she'll work it out, but it's something she's enjoying. 'She's doing London Fashion Week again in September and we've actually just heard that Hollie is going to be doing it as well.' Amanda continued: 'It's definitely something I think Hollie is going to enjoy, she's going to die when I tell her she's doing London Fashion Week this year. 'I literally just heard she got it and she's gone for the week with my mum in Cornwall, so I'll have to ring her after. She joked: 'With both girls doing it, I do feel like Kris Jenner now. We need our own reality show. Oh my god, yeah here we go, I could see that.' Despite the TV star's hopes of a family reality show, which could follow her daughter's nepo baby friends, including Simon Cowell's son Eric and Alesha Dixon's daughter Azura, Amanda's daughter Lexi 'wouldn't want to be on camera'. She revealed: 'But one of my daughters would do [a TV show] but Lexi wouldn't want to be on camera, that's irony, whereas Hollie would, definitely.' Amanda added that teenager Hollie currently loves coming to Britain's Got Talent as she is 'put to work' as a runner and causes 'mayhem' with Simon's son Eric. She said: 'She loves coming with me to Britain's Got Talent, she makes Simon his ginger tea, she likes to be a little runner, so when she comes, they put her to work. 'She likes the crew hoodie, the snacks, she delivers snacks to the desk, goes around with Eric, creating absolute mayhem behind the scenes, god knows what they get up to anyway. 'She doesn't watch any of the show, though, although she did when she decided to press the golden buzzer anyway. She didn't get a slap on the wrist because Eric was with her, so that's all good.'

Love Island's Lauren reveals ‘real reason' why she took Harrison back after secret scene was CUT from TV
LAUREN Wood has explained why she decided to take back Harrison Solomon after his antics in the Love Island villa. The dumped islander has gone "official" with Harrison since quitting the show, with the pair even talking about moving in together after just a few short weeks. 6 6 6 But the start of their romance was far from easy, with Harrison quitting the show after entangling himself in a love triangle with Lauren and Toni Laites. Backing and forthing between the two women ultimately caused Harrison to decide to exit the series early, shortly after Lauren was dumped and she begged him to go with her. With them both now on the outside, the pair have decided to give things a go - though talking on Love Island's Morning After podcast, it seemed there was more to their reunion than met the eye. "Leaving made me realise I want to be with Harrison," she told hosts Amy Hart and Max Balegde: . "The last few days leading up to me leaving, I'd cried every single day and said I just want to go home. "I didn't want to be there, and they just said, 'give it a go with Ty. Give it a go with Ty'. I couldn't forget about Harrison. Like, as much as he's hurt me, I felt like deep down I knew that things were going to work out and we were meant to be." Speaking about his previous behaviour, Lauren said: "Obviously I was upset and angry with him for his actions. "We'd said a couple of things for the days that we were meant to be staying away from each other. "I feel like we still give each other the little looks. Then on the night that I left, he kept saying are you okay? You okay? "And after few days of not saying a lot, I said to him I miss you, and I knew that we were going to have a chat." "Then obviously, I had that chat with him, and I feel like, for the viewers, they all just thought, 'Why is she asking him to leave with him when they've not even made up?'" she added. Watch moment Love Island's Harrison takes savage swipe at villa couple and says there's 'no chance' they will win "But we'd briefly had a conversation, and he'd said he was wanting to close things off with me." "I asked him out of emotion. I probably shouldn't have asked him that, because it was a big thing to ask, but at the time, I just thought, I want him to leave with me, I want to be with him. I want to make it work." "As much as he'd hurt me, I was willing to try and move forward and forget the past, because he's made a mistake," she concluded. "We all make mistakes. I just think he made a pretty big mistake, but I do think like he did that out of emotion, and he knows he shouldn't have done that." Her comments come shortly after Lauren said she felt Harrison had proved himself in her eyes when it came to romance. "It did affect the trust, him doing what he's done, but I do think, genuinely, him doing that and seeing how much upset he caused made him realise he needs to communicate better," she said. "He can't do things like that, and I do think deep down, he never meant to hurt anyone. He just got lost in his feelings and acted in a wrong way and made a silly mistake." "I think him leaving the villa showed me everything I needed to know," she concluded. "You're not gonna leave the villa if you're not sure of someone, and I think that showed me everything." 6 6 6

Aldi changes name of UK store forever in move that shoppers are hailing as ‘biblical'
ALDI has permanently changed the name of one of its popular UK branches in a move hailed as 'biblical'. In honour of the Oasis reunion, the store in Greater Manchester will forever be known as 'Aldeh'. 3 The hilarious change was only meant to be temporary, but after a petition was launched for it to stay for good, Aldi bosses gave it the green light. Manchester local, Ella Curtis, gathered over 1,300 signatures and was backed by Bury MP Christian Wakefield. "What started as a nod to a special reunion quickly took on a life of its own. The rebrand resonated with people across Manchester and beyond," she wrote. "Photos of the sign went viral because it tapped into something meaningful: pride in where we're from, and in what this city has given the world. In short, Prestwich got its own Blue Plaque." Gig goers posed in front of the new 'Aldeh' on Bury New Rd before heading to Heaton Park to watch the band make a triumphant return. The sign has even been listed on Google Maps as a cultural landmark and has collected a string of five-star reviews. One visitor wrote: "Finally, a shop that speaks my language. It's no longer Aldi, it's Aldeh, and that rebrand alone deserves a knighthood." "Greatest rebrand of all time!! What a nod to the Gallaghers and Manchester," another added. A third cleverly crafted his review with Oasis lyrics: "I live Half the World Away, but I was top mad for it. What felt like driving All Around The World. Some Might Say I was crazy, Definitely Maybe. But Be Here now, I stared at the Wonderwall with awe, Stand By me when I say this. 10/10 attraction." "As LG would say... Biblical," another wrote. Before the big change, Aldi teased fans on social media about making it a permanent fixture. "Boss said we also need 10,000 likes and a comment from one of the Gallaghers," a spokesperson for the store typed on Facebook. It got 15,000 likes - which meant Aldi had no choice. Liam Gallagher even shared a photo of the name change on Instagram. Noel's daughter Anais also showed her appreciation for the sign on Aldi's TikTok post. Giles Hurley, chief executive officer at Aldi UK, confirmed the move on LinkedIn. "Last week, a petition was launched by a local resident calling for us to keep the sign. "So naturally, we took to social media to see what our shoppers thought, turns out… people are mad for it and want the sign to stay. "I'm pleased to announce that we'll be keeping the Aldeh sign as a tribute to Manchester! As you were," he wrote. Julie Ashfield, Aldi's chief commercial officer, added: "We've been blown away by the public's reaction to 'Aldeh'. "What started as a fun, temporary tribute to Oasis and the local accent has turned into something far bigger. "We've heard shoppers loud and clear and we're absolutely delighted to keep the sign up for the long haul." The brothers returned to Manchester this month with five homecoming gigs at Heaton Park - their first in the city in 16 years. They belted out classics like 'Don't Look Back in Anger' and 'Supersonic' to the delight of hard-core fans. 3 3
