Mabel and others will be standing in for Lily Allen on the Miss Me? podcast, while the latter takes a mental health break.The news comes as the singer and actor – who hosts the podcast alongside friend Miquita Oliver – revealed in last week’s episode that she would be taking a temporary step back from work commitments to focus on her mental health.On the podcast, Allen explained that she was currently “finding it really hard to be interested in anything” and was “really not in a good place”.“I know I’ve been talking about it for months, but I’ve been spiralling and spiralling and spiralling, and it’s got out of control,” she continued, recalling how she has had to leave events early due to the circumstances.

Sad news for fans of Jonathan Bailey and Felicity Jones – they will no longer be starring in a movie together!

K.J. Yossman Felicity Jones and Jonathan Bailey are no longer attached to star in Simon Amstell’s comedy “Maria,” Variety can confirm. The movie is currently on pause after cast scheduling issues were followed by last year’s Hollywood strikes, although a source says Amstell is in talks to revive the project, which was first launched at Cannes two years ago.

Miquita Oliver became a hit when she appeared on TVs at the age of 16. The presenter, 38, and her co-host Simon Amstell shot to fame on Channel 4’s Popworld. She resides now in a flat in Clapton, east London and often takes to social media to share peeks into her home.

Popworld co-host Simon Amstell isn’t interested in a TV reunion.The pair hosted the Channel 4 music show together from 2001 to 2006, before Alex Zane and Alexa Chung took over as presenters until the show’s conclusion in July 2007.Speaking to OK! Magazine, Oliver dashed hopes of a potential Popworld reunion happening anytime soon.“Simon will not work with me again,” Oliver said. “I don’t know why.

Approximately 230,000 people lost their lives when a tsunami wave hit the coast of Thailand on Boxing Day in 2004. Among those caught up in the natural disaster were T4 presenting duo Miquita Oliver and Simon Amstell.The pair, who have remained close since the series ended, were on holiday together when the disaster unfolded. Miquita got separated when the massive wave hit and, heartbreakingly, both believed one another to be dead when they couldn't find each other.

It’s been more than two decades since Miquita Oliver made her TV debut on Channel 4’s Popworld . Although just 16 at the time, she and her co-host Simon Amstell managed to attract a huge fan base and elevate the series to cult status, thanks to their awkward-yet-cool dynamic and offbeat jokes. The cheeky pair were known for putting bizarre questions to their high-profile guests, including “Have you ever licked a battery?”, “Do you ever feel like you’re right in the middle of a car crash?” and “Have you ever got off with Calum Best?” Memorable moments included roping Britney Spears into a round of speed dating and interviewing Fame Academy graduate Lemar from across a car park with a megaphone – just so they could call the chat Lemar From Afar.
