Coma stars just two actors in-camera, with voice work from Gaspard Ulliel, who died tragically earlier this year. Bonello’s introductory comments about loss feel particularly poignant after the death of his Saint Laurent star.

You can definitely overwater them.""Yes, you can. Most house plants die from drowning," Monty explained.He continued: "The biggest mistake that people can make with their house plant is to overwater them."By and large your best bet is to water them no more than once a week.

Gardeners' World star Monty Don revealed two very different photos, taken 18 years apart, of his stunning garden at home.The 66-year-old captioned his photo: "A look back...

Monty Don, 66, has been the lead presenter of BBC's Gardeners' World since 2003, making a large name for himself in the gardening community.The horticulturist opened up in a new interview about struggles he had with his family this Christmas due to a "brush with Covid".Monty left a smile on his Twitter followers' faces at Christmas this year, when he posted a picture of his Yorkshire Terrier surrounded by Christmas wrapping.However, the gardener admitted in an interview this morning with Zoe Ball on Radio 2 that his family Christmas did not go to plan.Zoe said to the gardener: "Happy new year Monty, how was the festive time for you and your family?"Monty replied: "Well, it was quiet."We, like I guess so many families, had our brush with Covid."Not directly but it meant all plans were rearranged at the very last minute and you know people couldn't go one way or another."But we had a very, very nice time."Monty has been very open on his Twitter about his Covid vaccination process, talking about getting his booster on December 21.In view of his 245,600 followers the star penned: "Got my booster jab this afternoon."Had to wait over 3 weeks for the appointment but it was done with speed, professionalism and great cheerfulness in the face of what must be overwhelming exhaustion and stress."I am extremely grateful.

Monty Don was horrified today when opportunists took advantage of fear over the pandemic to make an illicit profit.The 66-year-old, full name Montagu Denis Wyatt Don OBE, received a message telling him he'd come into contact with Covid - but it turned out to be a scam.Even worse, the communication came through the NHS app, making it seem more legitimate.Addressing his followers, he cautioned: "Received a seemingly Kosher message via NHS App saying I had been in contact with positive Covid and need specific PCR Omicron test, asking for details including credit card to pay 3.99 for processing."He continued: "This is a scam to get card details so ignore and delete if you get it."Followers responded by retweeting the warning and spreading the message across the social media platform.@titan641 encouraged: "Better still Monty, if you receive a text like this or anything similar, report it to the authorities so they can investigate."He posted a link to the ncsc.gov.uk website, which has advice on how to report spam communication.Meanwhile, Marlene Short had a few words of advice for those receiving the scam through a text message."Rather than deleting, report it by forwarding it to 7726 (SPAM)," she urged."You will get a text asking for the number you received the text from, no personal details, and will be helping to track and stop fraudsters."She added: "This works for texts attempting fraud [but] hopefully there is [also] a way to forward these notifications seemingly from an app."@EllenSkylark exclaimed: "So frightening to think they can contact you/try to scam you, via the NHS website."@pinkpinkpony replied: "I have heard a few people have had this."Just hard to understand what sort of person would stoop so low to profit

"Fingers crossed back to Radio 2 Breakfast Show tomorrow 6.30 if my PCR test is all clear."Zoe's guests for Thursday's show include actress Maxine Peake and horticulturist Monty Don.The star has been absent from her show all week while Nicki Chapman stepped in to host.It's been quite the month for Zoe, who recently opened up about the death of her stepdad Rick, who passed away from a Motor Neurone Disease in December 2012.She became emotional as she candidly spoke about her deceased family member, who all of her relatives were thinking about on the ninth anniversary of his passing.During a chat with Gabby Logan about her BBC Sports Personality of the Year award, Zoe shed light on how former winner Doddie Weir helped raise over £1 million for Doddie Aid.The money would be used to help find a cure for Motor Neurone Disease, which she stressed was a project that was extremely close to her heart."Hopefully one day we will find a cure," the radio personality expressed.She revealed during the interview that her stepdad died on that day nine years ago, much to Gabby's surprise."It's a real special day in my family today," Zoe added."We lost our stepdad Rick to Motor Neurone Disease on this day, quite a few years back now.""We think about him every day, so obviously this is something pretty close to my heart."That same month, Zoe celebrated her son Woody Cook's 21st birthday as she once again took to her Instagram account to share a series of doting throwback photos to mark the celebrate the special occasion with her fans.Some of the snaps in her gallery post included photos of Woody's first school photograph, while another pic sees him cuddling up to his new girlfriend, Nell Williams.Of course, there were also images of Zoe and

Is it a bee?"Wearing
