Scarlett Moffatt has slammed Gogglebox for making her look “thick as s**t” on the show.The 29 year old TV personality hit out at the programme which made her famous and said it was “difficult” to film. Speaking in the debut episode of her new podcast, where she discusses conspiracy theories alongside her boyfriend Scott Dobinson, she opened up about her time on the Channel 4 reality show.

Where did Brad Pitt learn his on-screen “snogging” skills?

Costume designers for shows including Downton Abbey, Game of Thrones and Star Wars are putting their skills to use making scrubs for medics battling the coronavirus pandemic.

Julian Fellowes, Oscar-winning savant of the British costume drama, loves to spin tales of silken-frocked young women chafing against the rigidity of their respective eras. With Downton Abbey, he conjured three aristocratic but ambitious sisters coming of age during the post-Edwardian upheaval.

“Downton Abbey” producer Gareth Neame says that he, creator Julian Fellowes and Focus Features are “committed” to making a second film happen, making good on a promise to fans ahead of the release of the 2019 hit film adaptation of the beloved British upstairs-downstairs drama.

The glittering chandeliers in the ballrooms of London’s one-percenters are given a good throttle by sordid and tragic revelations in the new Julian Fellowes’ melodrama “Belgravia.”

The fates of a 19th-century cotton mill, two rival soccer teams and a troubled marriage are bound together in “The English Game,” a mild entertainment from “Downton Abbey” creator Julian Fellowes. Anglophiles frothing at the mouth for Lord Fellowes’ usual costume-drama eye candy may be disappointed, as the bulk of the story takes place in the grimy world of serving wenches, poorly lit taverns, muddy roads and grim cotton mills of Lancashire. Maggie Smith does not drop in for an acerbic cameo.

With global soccer shut down these days, fans desperate for a fix of the beautiful game may find it from a rather unlikely source — the creator of the stately “Downton Abbey.”

BELGRAVIA writer Julian Fellowes has revealed the 'tragic' true story behind the drama. The first episode of a six-part series based on the novel of the same name aired on ITV last night to mixed reviews.

BELGRAVIA fans have been left baffled by Tamsin Greig's character's ageless appearance despite a 26 YEAR time jump. The new period drama from Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes began on ITV tonight and sees Tamsin play Anne Trenchard, a mother with a tragic secret.

With lashings of sex, lies and scandal, ITV’s Belgravia is set to be a surefire hit.

Alice Eve , star of the new period drama Belgravia, ditches the bonnet and bodice to stride out in shocking pink.

A BELGRAVIA boss has rejected comparisons with "soapy" Downton Abbey, insisting there’s "more mystery and emotion". The new period drama from Dowton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes begins on Sunday, starring Tamsin Grieg, Philip Glenister and Alice Eve.

The void in our hearts that has been there since Downton Abbey finished is finally being filled as Belgravia makes its way to the screen.
