Hannah Waddingham Reveals How She’s Really Feeling About Ted Lasso’s Surprise Return

Hannah Waddingham has opened up about the return of Ted Lasso.

The British actor won an Emmy for her performance as Rebecca Welton in the Apple TV+ sports comedy, and later made no secret of her disappointment when it looked as though it would not be returning for a fourth season.

Eventually, earlier this year, it was confirmed that new episodes of Ted Lasso were in the works after all, two years after it last aired.

Speaking on Tuesday’s edition of Capital Breakfast, the former Game Of Thrones star admitted she had complicated feelings about the prospect of Ted Lasso coming back, as she and her co-stars initially thought they’d “mourned the loss”.

“We were all a bit like, ‘Oh’,” Hannah admitted. “We thought we’d mourned the loss, and now it’s rising from the dead.”

However, she added that the news was “amazing”, while letting slip that shooting is due to begin in July.

Putting the show’s continued popularity down to the writing, she enthused: “Our writers are literally Jedi Knights. They’re just incredible. And we’ve got, like, a full room of real feminist men. So, we’ve got all the fabulous women in there – but the men that are in there, I think you really see [that they are feminists[ in the scripts.

“You could easily have a show that was so male-dominated, because, you know, myself and Juno Temple are like the two main women in it. So, it could really be out of control – but you’d never feel that. It’s just so beautifully drawn.”

Ted Lasso star and creator Jason Sudeikis revealed in March that season four would centre around the titular character taking over a women’s football team.

Jason explained: “It’s daunting, because we told the story we wanted to tell. But there’s more there. And it is a neat group of people to work with, it’s a wonderful group of people, and characters to write around and for. It’s such a great group.”

Seasons one to three of Ted Lasso are now streaming on Apple TV+.

Gwyneth Paltrow Sets The Record Straight On Where Her Friendship Stands With Meghan Markle

Gwyneth Paltrow is setting the record straight on her relationship with Meghan Markle.

Over the weekend, People magazine published an interview with Gwyneth about the constant comparisons she and the Duchess of Sussex continue to face since the latter launched both her new lifestyle site and Netflix show.

“I don’t like that, when people try to pit women against each other,” the Oscar-winning actor told the outlet.

She said that the two, who both live in Montecito, California, have what she described as “a text friendship so far”.

Gwyneth seems open to collaborating with Meghan, though, and said she’d be down to make an appearance on the second season of the royal’s show, With Love, Meghan.

“Sure! Why not? You never know,” she said. “I don’t bake that well, but I can always try.”

The Goop founder previously spoke to Vanity Fair about feeling defensive of Meghan, without actually knowing her well.

“I was raised to see other women as friends, not foes,” she said at the time. “I think there’s always more than enough to go around. Everybody deserves an attempt at everything that they want to try.”

She said that when “there’s noise about certain women in the culture, I do have, always, a strong instinct to stand up for them”.

To make sure the masses knew that the Sliding Doors star and duchess were indeed on each other’s side, the two put out a memorable moment on Instagram in March.

In the Q&A video, Gwyneth read out an an enquiry saying: “Are you comprehending the Meghan Markle beef that social media says you two have?”

“I genuinely do not understand this at all, whatsoever,” she responded, at which point camera panned to a surprise cameo from Meghan, who was seen grinning and shrugging her shoulders as she ate a piece of pie.

JD Vance Uses Biden’s Cancer Diagnosis To Criticize His Job As President

Vice President JD Vance responded on Monday to Joe Biden’s new cancer diagnosis by criticising the former president’s performance in the White House and furthering claims that those close to the Democrat hid his poor health from the public.

Speaking to reporters on Air Force 2, the vice president first wished for Biden to make “the right recovery,” saying the 82-year-old’s diagnosis “sounds pretty serious.”

Vance essentially ended his empathy there, accusing Biden of doing a bad job leading the country and pinning his capacity to serve as president on his poor health.

“I will say, whether the right time to have this conversation is now or at some point in the future, we really do need to be honest about whether the former president was capable of doing the job,” Vance said.

“You can separate the desire for him to have the right health outcome with a recognition that, whether it was doctors or whether there were staffers around the former president, I don’t think he was able to do a good job for the American people.”

“And that’s not politics. That’s not because I disagreed with him on policy,” he continued. “That’s because I don’t think that he was in good enough health.”

Biden was diagnosed on Friday with an aggressive form of prostate cancer, which his office said has metastasised to his bones. Doctors diagnosed him after finding a prostate nodule while looking into the former president’s urinary issues earlier this year.

The Democrat’s age and health came front and centre last year after his concerning presidential debate performance while seeking re-election. Biden eventually stepped down to allow Vice President Kamala Harris to run in his place with just months until the election. Harris lost to Donald Trump, leading many Democrats to blame Biden’s initial persistence for their party’s loss.

Biden recently faced renewed bipartisan concerns regarding his health amid the upcoming release of “Original Sin,” a book by CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios’ Alex Thompson that claims Biden aides intentionally hid the extent of his physical and cognitive decline from the public.

The allegations have led Republicans like Donald Trump Jr. — and apparently Vance — to baselessly accuse Biden and those close to him of hiding his cancer while he was still president. Trump Jr. faced backlash earlier on Monday for spreading, without evidence, a conspiracy that Biden was likely diagnosed while in the White House and that his wife, Jill Biden, helped keep it from the public.

“In some ways I blame him less than I blame the people around him. And why didn’t the American people have a better sense of his health picture? Why didn’t the American people have more accurate information about what he was actually dealing with?” said Vance, who serves as vice president to the man whose cognitive health has repeatedly come into question due to the 78-year-old’s frequent and incoherent ramblings, his memory issues and his impulsivity with respect to major political decisions.

“This is serious stuff. This is the guy who carries around the nuclear football for the world’s largest nuclear arsenal,” Vance continued. “This is not child’s play, and we can pray for good health, but also recognise that if you’re not in good enough health to do the job, you shouldn’t be doing the job.”

Cancers that have spread to other parts of the body are normally difficult to treat — but because Biden’s cancer appears hormone-sensitive, according to his office, he may be able to treat it by depriving the tumors of hormones. Doctors have said that, while metastasised prostate cancer is incurable, men receiving such treatment can expect to live for an average of five more years.
