Strictly Come Dancing winner looks '10 years younger' after hair transformation
Strictly Come Dancing champion Bill Bailey appeared on BBC Breakfast on Thursday morning to talk about his upcoming tour but viewers were more distracted by his new look BBC Breakfast viewers were taken aback by Strictly Come Dancing champion Bill Bailey's fresh appearance. The 60 year old multi-talented star graced the red sofa on Thursday (June 26) to discuss his forthcoming tour with hosts Naga Munchetty and Ben Thompson. Yet, it was Bill's new cropped hairstyle that steered the conversation away from his tour, a stark contrast to his iconic flowing mane. Naga queried: "Are you ever going to grow your hair again?". To which Bill responded: "I quite like the short hair." Naga complimented him, saying: "It looks lovely" and Bill concurred: "Especially now in the hot weather. It's great.", reports Edinburgh Live. Viewers at home also noticed Bill's revamped look, with many suggesting it shaved years off his age. On X, previously known as Twitter, one admirer wrote: "#bbcbreakfast He looks ten years younger." Another viewer expressed: "He looks better with that straggly hair cut off #bbcbreakfast." Meanwhile, a third remarked: "Bill has cut his hair off #bbcbreakfast." Bill last year shared the reason behind his dramatic haircut, recounting a near-miss with his locks during a barbecue. While on The Graham Norton Show, Bill recounted: "I was on a hiking holiday in the summer and at one point I was leaning over a barbecue and my hair caught on fire. I think the universe was telling me it was time." The telly celeb humorously shared that he's often mistaken for a more youthful version of himself, quipping: "The other day someone came up to me and said 'You look just like Bill Bailey, but younger'. It's great." Dancing sensation Bill triumphed on Strictly Come Dancing alongside his dance partner Oti Mabuse back in 2020. Their dazzling victory was one for the history books, with Bill securing the title of the show's oldest ever champion, whilst Oti achieved the monumental feat of being the first professional to clinch the title two years in a row. Oti had previously lifted the glitterball trophy in 2019 with Emmerdale's Kelvin Fletcher.

The completely free streaming service that boasts 10,000 shows and movies
TV fans are spoilt for choice when it comes to streaming services, but keeping up with the latest releases comes at a cost. With the likes of Netflix, Apple TV Plus and Amazon Prime Video adding new shows all the time, many of us spend upwards of £30 each month to satiate our binge-watching desires. But savvy viewers know that there are a few free streaming services out there with huge catalogues of film and TV shows at no cost — and Rakuten TV is one of them. Rakuten is what's known as a free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) platform, meaning users can watch TV channels and shows for free with adverts. Where it differs from the likes of Tubi and Pluto TV is that users can buy or rent the latest film and TV releases on the platform too. Simply pay to watch whatever takes your fancy, without paying an additional subscription fee on top. There are plenty of hugely popular titles ready to stream, with shows including House of the Dragon and The Last of Us available from £14.99 for one season. However, fear not, as users who want to keep costs low can use Rakuten at zero cost. The service has a huge catalogue of TV shows and movies available to watch with adverts for free. In fact, it boasts more than 10,000 titles in total. Though, as you might expect, these options are less popular and well-known compared to the paid-for titles. Metro's Caroline Westbrook has used Rakuten before, and shared her verdict on the free streamer: 'If nostalgia is your thing, then you can't go far wrong here. Want to dive into some Baywatch? Vintage episodes of 21 Jump Street? You've come to the right place. And there's no shortage of British TV favourites either, with the likes of Hell's Kitchen, Pointless and even classic episodes of The Graham Norton Show. 'But if it's the latest blockbusters you're after, it'll cost you. Yes, you can watch Final Destination: Bloodlines, the Minecraft movie and other recent hits, but you'll pay for the privilege. The free movies are a bit limited and obscure by comparison, but there are some familiar titles thrown in among the lesser-known offerings (and even a few box office gems). 'And Rakuten adds new free-to-watch content all the time, so it's worth keeping an eye on, as you never know what might show up.' Rakuten has a huge number of live TV channels organised by genre, including sport, lifestyle, cooking, crime and mystery, reality, news and more. TV shows that have their own linear channels (meaning the episodes run back-to-back at all hours of the day) include Kim's Convenience, Mr Bean, Ninja Warrior, Great British Menu, Andromeda and The Graham Norton Show. Other TV series that are available for free on-demand include apocalyptic horror series Z Nation and Clink, a Channel 5 drama set in a women's prison. There's also sci-fi series Sanctuary and Gordon Ramsay's Hell's Kitchen. Meanwhile, free on-demand films include 2018 romcom I Feel Pretty, starring Amy Schumer, hit mystery thriller Gone Girl, the critically acclaimed Tangerine and 00s classics like Just My Luck and Bring It On. On the Rakuten TV store, users can rent or buy early home releases of films like Final Destination: Bloodlines, The Amateur, which stars Rami Malek, and The Penguin Lessons with Steve Coogan. These popular titles generally cost £15.99 to rent or £19.99 to buy, while older titles are available for less. Rakuten is compatible with a wide number of smart TVs, including models from Samsung, LG, Philips, Hisense, Panasonic and Sony. The app is also compatible with Chromecast, Android TV, Fire TV, Apple TV andTiVo. Plus, there's a mobile app, and users can also watch on a browser by visiting To rent or buy titles, users have to register for a free account, but this isn't necessary to watch the free on-demand content or live TV. However, registered users have other benefits, including access to a wishlist function and a library storing bought or rented content. And registered users can watch on up to three devices at the same time. Reviews of Rakuten TV are generally positive. On the Amazon App Store, one user wrote: 'At a time when you have to create an account for almost every app you want to use, the absence of this requirement by Rakuten to enjoy free streaming should be noted and encouraged.' They added: 'You shouldn't expect to be able to see the latest trendy movies or series, but the offer of a 'free' TV like on TNT is appreciable.' More Trending One reviewer praised it as 'easy to use', while another echoed that it's 'simple and very convenient'. And one called it an 'impeccable fast service'. Not everyone is happy, however, with some put off by the adverts. One user, who gave the app three stars, wrote: 'It has many free channels but with a lot of advertising, much more than Pluto TV'. Another, who left a more scathing one-star review, said: 'Too much advertising, more than commercial TV'. Got a story?
