Was Prince Harry wrong to sue the Daily Mail? How did Olivia Dean and Sam Fender make chart history this week? Which pop stars should we thank for the resurgence of the vodka cranberry?

Prince Harry and other high-profile claimants have lost their High Court case against the publisher of the Daily Mail. Should stars let sleeping dogs lie over historical allegations of journalistic malpractice?

Olivia Dean and Sam Fender have made chart history with their song Rein Me In, breaking the record for the longest-running number 1 single by a British act. But what song might stop them from breaking further records if England wins the World Cup?

Step aside, obscure liquers. The new drink of the summer (apparently) is a Vodka Cranberry. So why is the Y2K beverage making a comeback, and what does it have to do with pop royalty Taylor Swift and Olivia Rodrigo?

Songs played in the show:

Wet Wet Wet - Love Is All Around

Written By: Reg Presley

Mercury Records

Sam Fender, Olivia Dean - Rein Me In

Written By: Sam Fender, Olivia Dean, Max Wolfgang

Polydor

Oasis - Wonderwall

Written By: Noel Gallagher

Is Taylor Swift the ultimate 'star-fucker'? Why is Katie Price an unstoppable force? Will Sky's purchase of ITV be a success?

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce finally tied the knot this weekend in Madison Square Gardens, with a select guest list of... 1,000 celebs. Richard Osman and Marina Hyde ask why someone would choose such an insane location, and if they'd have liked an invite to the epic nuptials themselves.

Katie Price has been one of the UK's most fascinating, and troubling, British celebrities of this century. We look at her journey from Page 3 starlet to the ultimate reality star in light of the new Sky documentary about her life.

Sky has confirmed that they will purchase ITV for £1.6bn. What does this mean for the industry and audiences?
