Anais Gallagher makes rare public appearance with boyfriend Callum Scott Howells as they cosy up at the Into Film Awards
Anais Gallagher looked smitten with her boyfriend Callum Scott Howells as they attended the Into Film Awards at the Odeon in Leicester Square on Tuesday. The daughter of Oasis frontman Noel Gallagher, 25, looked more loved-up than ever as she cosied up with her man on a rare joint outing. For the occasion, Anais looked effortlessly stylish in a pink and white striped shirt layered over blue jeans. She teamed the look with burgundy loafers and accesorised with a pair of gold frame sunglasses which sat on top her head. Meanwhile It's A Sin star Callum, looked cool in double denim consisting of a structured jacket and matching jeans. The pair appeared in good spirits as they posed for sweet snaps together at the celebratory event. Also at the awards ceremony was James Norton, Rose Ayling-Ellis, Olivia Cooke, and Elizabeth McGovern. The Into Film Awards is an annual celebration of the filmmaking of pupils and educators from across the UK. Categories are designed to highlight the many young creatives in the country, with hundreds of films being submitted each year. Awards are presented by a range of film industry talent, with previous guests including Eddie Redmayne, Daniel Craig, Lily James, Amma Asante and Martin Freeman. Anais and Callum have reportedly been seeing each other romantically since the autumn of 2023. Callum previously confirmed he identifies as queer, telling Pink News: 'I've always been happy to say to people. So for me, it was just part of it. 'I wouldn't like to speak for anyone else on that matter. But for me it was kind of: "It is what it is".' Anais had been spending quality time with Callum in the wake of her split from her long-term boyfriend Julius Roberts. She was in a relationship with the farmer for three years after they got together two days before Christmas in 2019. But a source revealed they have 'ended their relationship' in late 2022 and she was moving back up to London, after splitting her time between the city and his family farm in Dorset. It comes after Anais hit back at those branding her a nepo baby in an impassioned interview. Speaking to H! Fashion magazine, the influencer thanked her Oasis icon father Noel for the 'financial stability' he gave her early in life, but insisted she had paved out her own success. She said: 'There are a lot more dangerous industries in which nepotism is around – look at Donald Trump's sons. 'I would be far more concerned with people making legislation than an actor wanting to help out their daughter who wants to be an actress. 'All my privilege and, in quotation marks, "luck" has come from my financial stability – not my dad's fame.' The model, who Noel had with his first wife Meg Mathews just a year before their divorce in 2001, suggested that children of singers were more likely to come under fire over nepotism than those with parents successful in other professions. 'I went to school with a lot of very wealthy people who probably had the exact same amount of privilege as me, but they wouldn't get called a nepo baby because their dad's a lawyer or a politician. 'My dad paid for my private education, he paid for my university degree. I was given money to live on so I didn't have to get a job when I was at university. 'If I needed a new camera, he would buy me a new camera to help with my studies – all of those things made my life so much easier than my friends who had to struggle whilst they were studying. 'But I never wanted to be a musician, so him writing Wonderwall never really helped me out. But him having money? Yes.' Anais boasts 269,000 followers on her Instagram account but accepted that she owes at least part of her rapid rise to her rock legend father. 'You have to look at social media as fun,' she said. 'I think I'm in a really unique position in that I never decided I wanted to be an influencer. 'I posted on my Instagram as a normal teenager would, and then, because of who my dad was, initially, I got a lot of followers. I try to navigate social media exactly the same way as my friends who would have a private account of 100 people following it. 'My biggest criticism of certain influencers is that their feed feels like a magazine.' Of her famous dad, who is getting ready to reunite with brother Liam this summer for the first time in more than 15 years, Anais said: 'With my family, what you see is what you get. They are really hard-working people. 'With my dad, I would always go to him for help or advice – it's very funny that a rock star from the 90s is like the most level-headed person I know. He's definitely the guiding force in my life.'

One of the 'greatest sci-fi series of all time' premiered 10 years ago today
As cyber warfare and the looming threat of artificial intelligence continue to cloud our daily lives, Sam Esmail's sci-fi series is as relevant as ever on its 10-year anniversary. Mr Robot charts the journey of paranoid hacker Elliot Alderson (Rami Malek) who is recruited by an anarchist known as 'Mr Robot' (Christian Slater) to a group of hacktivists called 'FSociety'. Battling a multinational conglomerate, the group aims to destroy all debt records by encrypting E Corp's financial data. Slater has said himself that the 'show was ahead of its time' in an interview with Gold Derby last week. But despite the show first being released 10 years ago today, its warnings about the influence of big tech corporations in our lives and Big Brother politics make it a critical watch. Many fans praised the series on X for boasting one of the most thrilling storylines they have ever seen. @Shin_078 commented online that it is 'one of the greatest shows ever', while @TheGwilliam added: 'Four near perfect seasons. A true must watch.' @RacingBedgood wrote that Mr Robot is 'such a good series', and @badfkninfluence similarly claimed that Esmail's show is 'one of the best TV series ever.' @Billy_Kunta echoed this by defiantly writing: 'Peak TV right here!' Previously, fans have pointed out how seasons 3 and 4 tailed off compared to the beginning two. Our TV reporter Milo Pope shares his thoughts on the potential problems behind Mr Robot still being so unique… It's quite astounding to think that 10 years after Mr Robot aired, there truly has not been anything like it on our screens. As the phrase goes – 'good artists copy, great artists steal' – television has long had this wonderful ability where it can inspire similar projects and in turn, a collection of shows can spur on a movement and create real change. Think of It's A Sin and the conversations it has sparked around HIV and the LGBTQ+ community. I'd argue it certainly had an influence on shows such as What It Feels Like For A Girl, which came out earlier this month. But following the season finale of Mr Robot in December 2019, issues of cyber warfare, ransomware and hacking have largely been ignored across the TV landscape. Of course, Charlie Brooker's Black Mirror delves into the darker side of technology and its potential misuses. Silicon Valley also opts for a comedic take on the tech industry. But with the recent heightening tensions in the Middle East and the retail cyber attacks on stores such as M&S and Harrods, the world today seems to be crying out for a show like Mr Robot that shines a light on the dangers of hackers who can effectively cripple economic systems and bring the world to a standstill. @ks_moody added that Mr Robot has one of the best starts 'and then it did a slooooooow steady decline into nothing'. But the show has also received high praise for featuring a main character who has social anxiety disorder, clinical depression, and dissociative identity disorder. As @mrsxkati writes, that 'Mr Robot has hands down the best representation of mental illness', fans are still reminiscing about this unique take on a vigilante hacker. More Trending Earlier this year, rumours about Mr Robot returning for a fifth and final season started to circulate online. Although there might not be any shows like Mr Robot that delve into the dangers of hacking and big tech companies, there are certainly some that mirror its grittiness as a suspenseful crime thriller. If you're looking to see the dark underbelly of a criminal world or an activist group take down a larger power, add these to your watchlist: Barry – Sky Comedy Slow Horses – Apple TV Plus Dark Matter – Apple TV Plus Black Mirror – Netflix Severance – Apple TV Plus Westworld – Sky Atlantic The Leftovers – Sky Atlantic Twin Peaks – Paramount Plus However, this was confirmed to be false by the show's creator, who intentionally decided to end the series after four seasons to prioritise storytelling over longevity. The USA Networks series ended in December 2019 as one of the most critically acclaimed series ever produced. View More » Mr Robot is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video. Got a story?

Should you be choreographing your sex life? How intimacy coordinators can help us off-screen, too
Think about the most memorable sex scenes from the last few years, and the chances are it involved Ita O'Brien. Connell and Marianne having sex for the first time in Normal People? Yep. Aimee teaching herself how to masturbate in Sex Education? Uh huh. The v raunchy It's A Sin montage? Arabella's blood clot interruption in I May Destroy You? The sex scene in We Live in Time that was so steamy, it ended with the cameraman facing the wall? Yes, yes, yes. O'Brien is the intimacy coordinator whose Intimacy On Set guidelines — groundbreaking guidance for filming intimate content (from kissing to sex to masturbation and beyond) — has transformed the film and TV industries. Since launching her manual in 2017, and her work then debuting in 2019's Sex Education, intimacy coordinators have become regular fixtures on set, choreographing intimate scenes (which, unbelievably, were just freestyled by actors before this), acting as a liaison between actors, directors, and the wider crew, and, in turn, helping craft more authentic, emotive, and, yes, actually arousing sex scenes. By 2020, HBO, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, and more had all started employing intimacy coordinators, while 23 shows that utilised the role were nominated for Emmys that year. Although O'Brien started developing her guidelines in 2014, demand for them grew after Harvey Weinstein's decades of abuse were exposed in 2017 and the resulting MeToo movement saw actors share their own experience of sexual coercion, harassment, and assault on set. Today, eight years on, intimacy coordinators are now practically an industry standard, with countless actors expressing their gratitude for the role's existence (Michaela Coel even dedicated her 2021 BAFTA, for I May Destroy You, to O'Brien). 'There was absolutely a void of a practitioner to support intimate content,' O'Brien tells me when we speak to mark the release of her new book, Intimacy, which takes readers behind the scenes of her work. 'Without a professional process, [intimate content] wasn't engaged with openly or creatively, let alone putting in place agreement [between actors] and consent. It was just this unspoken thing in the script that everyone knew was looming.' This reluctance to plan or even talk about intimate scenes led to, as O'Brien puts it, 'a sense of awkwardness' that could result in people 'feeling harassed or even downright abused'. This isn't, obviously, unique to film sets — and so, you may not be surprised to hear that intimacy coordinators can be helpful off set, too. That's not to say you have to hire your own private intimacy coordinator every time you're getting laid, but, as O'Brien explores in her book, the techniques she uses on set — connecting with your body, setting boundaries, and, 'taking charge of the choreography of your intimate life' — can also have a monumental effect on your real romantic and intimate relationships, too. 'The fundamental tenets of the intimacy guidelines are open communication and transparency, agreement and consent, clear choreography, and really good closure,' explains O'Brien. And these tenets, she adds, can help make your own 'intimate life something that's important to you and something that you can explore and consider'. 'It all starts from being present in yourself,' she continues. 'We're getting so much more disembodied and living our lives on screens, so the first step is reminding ourselves to have a connection with our bodies and feel our own sensuality and sexuality.' This might just be asking yourself, 'What do I want?', which is, depressingly, something many people — and especially women — tend to forgo in their sexual lives. And, although it sounds strange, it may then be using choreography, of sorts, to figure out, experiment with, and then build on your desires — whether that's tapping into the Kama Sutra, adapting to changes to your body and libido (say, after childbirth or while taking particular medications), or scheduling time to be intimate. 'Just remember that open dialogue keeps the connection,' says O'Brien. And yet, maintaining communication — and therefore curiosity — about sex, including our own desire and sexual lives, can be difficult when it's been discouraged our whole lives. After all, a reluctance to talk about the still-taboo topic of sex is partly what led to film and TV's flippant approach to intimate content in the first place, as, according to O'Brien, there was a general view that 'everybody has sex, so we don't need a practitioner to teach skills'. The irony, of course, is that it's a lack of education about sex that tends to lead to awkwardness, misconceptions, and, in some cases, even assault — both on set and off. This isn't lost on O'Brien — in fact, she dedicates a whole chapter in her book to the importance of sex education. And not just for young people, but throughout our lives, too. 'If your sexual life is important to you, then make it part of your life to consider, nurture, and research it,' she says. 'Our sexuality, sensuality, and pleasure in our bodies is a thing of beauty — we should talk about it and engage with it as something that's not shameful and shouldn't be hidden. 'Open education around intimacy doesn't ruin children's innocence, it helps them preserve it,' she continues. 'We should be teaching our young people that sexual connection is human connection, which is about communication, and that intimacy is about consent — and anything that's out of consent is about power. It starts with helping everyone to respect themselves, listen to themselves, and honour their impulses — which really starts with giving people a language to [learn about, and be curious about] what they need from human connection.' Because what we see in film and TV can have a profound effect on our own sex lives (often for the worse), this language should exist on screen, as well as in schools and beyond — which is exactly what O'Brien is trying to do. It's about more than just showing sex; it's about showing sex that's authentic, clumsy, funny, physiologically accurate, and, importantly, centres consent. This, in turn, can give people an accessible language to talk about sex in its totality. One notable chapter in Intimacy, for example, explores the myth and reality of sexual arousal, and discusses how what we see on screen paints a false picture of how arousal — particularly women's — really works. 'Too many sex scenes subtly [create] the misleading impression that spontaneous and instant penetration is possible for men — and pleasing for most women,' O'Brien writes. 'This is simply not true. The anatomy of arousal for men and for women is utterly different.' Rarely do we see sex on screen that shows what most women need for sex: foreplay, clitoral stimulation, even lube. Talking and negotiation also tend to be noticeably absent, as do the messy realities of sex, diverse bodies, non-traditional relationship styles, and, although it's improving, portrayals of queer sex. As O'Brien writes: 'People are often turned off by the sex they see on screen, not because it is explicit but because it isn't real.' And yet, she adds: 'It is the default glass through which we see the world.' Transforming sex on screen, then, is just the beginning of a long journey to reshape sex more broadly — to normalise and eradicate shame around all kinds of sex, to encourage open communication (with ourselves and others), and to ultimately help *everyone* have better, more fulfilling sex lives. 'The shift in the industry is absolutely incredible,' says O'Brien, 'and it's happening in our drama and film schools, too, where there's now a flip to consent-based training. I hope my work and the book will encourage a ripple effect that can help people [learn and] connect [in their own intimate lives].' Intimacy by Ita O'Brien is out now via Ebury

Noel Gallagher's daughter in tiny string bikini after getting band back together
Anais Gallagher made sure all eyes were on her holidaying in France with her boyfriend after it was reported she had been instrumental in Oasis' reunion Noel Gallagher's daughter, Anais Gallagher, showed off her toned figure in a yellow bikini while she was on holiday with her boyfriend in France. The famous musician's daughter gave fans a sneak peek into her holiday with a sizzling snap, following reports that she encouraged her dad's band Oasis to get back together. Anais looked loved up with her boyfriend Callum Scott Howells, who is rarely seen online, as they enjoyed their romantic holiday. Anais opted for a tiny patterned yellow bikini for the sunny day and styled her hair in blonde beachy waves. The model later shared another snap where she changed into a summery pink linen dress and cooked a pasta and salad dish as she cosied up to her boyfriend. Callum is known for his roles in It's A Sin, The Way and The Beautiful Game. The couple has reportedly been dating since 2023, after they started spending more time together when Anais allegedly split from her long-term boyfriend, Julius Roberts. The exes were dating for three years, but a source told Daily Mail that they ended their relationship in 2022 after Anais moved back to London after spending time on Julius' family farm in Dorset. Not only is Anais a fashionable influencer in her own right, but she has been labelled as the reason her dad, Noel Gallagher, and uncle, Liam Gallagher, have reunited for their new tour. A source reported that after Noel's split from Sara MacDonald, Anais was a huge source of comfort for him and pushed him to reconcile with his brother. A source told The Sun: 'Anais was one of the biggest sources of comfort and support for Noel following his divorce. She was the one who was helping him get back on his feet and return to doing things he loved that had fallen by the wayside.' They continued: 'Over the years, Noel had offered an olive branch to Liam, but he'd never taken it up. Anais could tell her dad really wanted both his brothers, Liam and Paul, by his side after the split, so was determined to get them back in touch.' After the famous fallout between the brothers, Anais reportedly maintained a close relationship with Liam and his sons, Gene and Lennon. The photographer, who is said to have played a part in picking the tour's set list, recently spoke out in defence of younger Oasis fans, who were accused of not being able to appreciate the Britpop sensation's music because they were not of the same generation. Insisting her dad's catalogue of hits was 'timeless', the photographer told Hello! magazine: 'I see this all the time actually - where someone will post a funny video or a cover song and people would say '[Oasis] would hate this'. No, no, you hate this. 'Sometimes people put this hyper-aggressive masculine ideology into what they think that my dad and my uncle are going to be like. They're actually a lot more accepting than the fans are.'
