Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info It's Rod Stewart's time to move over, because Paul Mescal is stealing the spotlight post-Glastonbury Festival after he appeared in Instagram pictures cosying up to another star. The BAFTA-winning actor, aged 29, has long been rumoured to be in a relationship with 'That's So True' songstress Gracie Abrams, who's 25. Fans have even dedicated an Insta account to track their every romantic movement. But now @popculture on Instagram has confirmed it — Gracie Abrams has gone public with the Normal People star with a telling post on her profile. The page declared: "Their love is officially on the grid. Gracie Abrams has finally made her romance with Paul Mescal Instagram official". In a carousel of photos from the music festival, which took place between June 25 and 29, the US singer posted a candid photo chilling next to the Gladiator II star signalling that things are official a year after whispers of a romance first surfaced. Gracie wasn't just at the festival for fun - she dazzled audiences with her debut set, crooning fan favourites like I Love You, I'm Sorry, That's So True, and Close To You, plus a rousing rendition of The Cure's Just Like Heaven. After electrifying the crowd, Gracie hit up Instagram to share snapshots and her feelings, expressing: "Glastonbury just thank you so much. I will never ever stop pinching myself that we got to do this". Paul and Grace might've been caught sharing a kiss previously, but this latest loved-up display indicates their bond might just be stronger than anyone anticipated. Gracie's Instagram has been buzzing with comments, with one fan writing: "YOU AND PAUL HELLLLOOOOOOO?????" (Image: Getty Images) Another eager follower penned: "HARDD LAUNCHHHH???? HELLOOOOO," and was mirrored by an Instagram user who commented: "Hard launch I'm obsessed". Meanwhile, someone else noticed: "They've been together forever," while another enthused, "I love this vibe. I love you. I love that you're having such a good time". Grace also received heaps of praises from followers calling her "gorgeous" and expressing being fans for "ages". Over on Reddit, some users were lamenting the non-romantic reality between Daisy Edgar-Jones and Paul. Daisy and Paul stole hearts as Marianne and Connell in the television hit Normal People, adapted from Sally Rooney's celebrated novel, released in 2020. Their compelling on-screen chemistry sparked a flurry of speculation about their real-life connection. In truth, Daisy and Paul have always maintained they share a deep friendship, not a romantic entanglement. The pair have recounted in interviews the profound trust and closeness that developed through their deeply emotional and intimate on-screen roles. Despite pursuing their acting paths separately, the bond they share as companions and former co-stars endures.

Love Island fans reveal ‘clues' that ‘prove' one Islander is being protected by producers from being dumped
LOVE Island fans claim they've spotted 'clues' that 'prove' producers are trying to keep a villa beauty on the show. Last night, original villa girl 3 Love Island fans believe on girl is being spared from dumpings Credit: Eroteme 3 Toni arrived as an early bombshell Credit: Eroteme Though there's no evidence of any producer meddling, one armchair sleuth took to Reddit last night to share their theory with other viewers. They outlined five points which they felt backed up their viewpoint. The first of which focused on Harrison's arrival and his opening dates with Malisha and Toni. Footballer Harrison is based in Miami , while Toni works in Vegas, and the viewer felt the US link gave her an unfair advantage when she was ultimately picked to partner him. READ MORE ON LOVE ISLAND Next , they highlighted Thirdly, they pointed out a change to the dumping process after the public voted for their least favourite Islanders. They wrote: "We know Love Island loves making the islanders decide the bottom 3 and if they did Toni would likely have been dumped, instead they go by straight votes and Megan is dumped despite having a strong connection in there." The fan alluded to more 'meddling' in their fourth point, claiming that by choosing Ben to go first in Sunday's recoupling it prevented Harrison from picking Helena and leaving Toni single and at risk. Most read in Love Island Finally, they flagged last night's dumping and the fact Islanders weren't given the chance to stand up for the remaining singletons, which would likely have seen Ben couple with Alima, potentially leading to a reshuffle that would've put Toni at risk. Last night's scenes played out with newbies Ryan and Billykiss being told to stand in front of their co-stars Two dumped Love Islanders revealed as villa stars break down in tears over shock exit The boys were told to stand up if they'd like to recouple with Billykiss. Conor stood up and said their date went really well and he'd be doing himself a disservice to not explore their connection. Alima, left uncoupled, then took Billykiss's place at the front. The girls then had to stand up if they'd like to recouple with new bombshell Ryan, but none did so. Due to them both being single, Other fans bought into the theory. One said: "honestly i can't argue with this even though i like toni." Another wrote: "I wholeheartedly agree. I am sure Toni is a nice girl, but it's becoming very exhausting."

Controversial US comic looks unrecognizable with no make up as she steps out in LA after facelift
SHE'S a controversial comic who famously had a bitter feud with President Donald Trump. The no-nonsense star, 64, recently had a second facelift and looked unrecognizable as she was pictured out and about in LA .

Something of a queen when it comes to self-promotion, Kathy Griffin helped those out who might have struggled to place her by wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with her own name. An over the shoulder bag bisected her world tour slogan tee and she finished her look with jogging bottoms and sneakers. The low-key outing was very different to the facelift reveal video she put out on Instagram last week from her stunning home.
