Crying while driving out of guilt for her son – GMA host Ginger Zee’s confession leaves viewers speechless!

GINGER Zee has sparked concern from Good Morning America fans as they beg her to “stay safe.”

She checked in from a new location after admitting she “cried her makeup off.”

The meteorologist flew to Dallas, Texas, to shoot a non-weather related segment while also continuing duties for the morning show.

“Morning! I’m live from Dallas (different story for @nightline) as severe storms threaten areas in Kansas & Oklahoma, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina later today!” she captioned.

Fans told her: “Please stay safe out there” / “Stay safe in storm area” / “Be Careful.”

Just one day before, Ginger admitted she “cried all of her make-up off” after feeling sad about missing time with her kids.

She lamented: “@NPRKelly… crying my makeup off… wondering if I should go since I just found out I’ll miss another baseball game this week because I’ll be flying to another story.”

It’s clearly very difficult for Ginger to be away from her family.

It is not clear when Ginger will be back in New York City or the GMA studio.

On Tuesday morning, Ginger reported the weather for GMA while in a different location.

The meteorologist flew to Dallas, Texas, to shoot an non-weather related segment for Nightline while also continuing duties for the morning show.

“Morning! I’m live from Dallas (different story for @nightline)as severe storms threaten areas in Kansas & Oklahoma, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina later today! @dmanzo1013,” she captioned the post.

Ginger stood in front of the sunrise as she went live on Instagram.

She gave a quick weather report before answering fan questions.

The meteorologist talked about a tornado coming towards Oklahoma and high winds in Texas, where she is.

Ginger also said there would be “serious rain heading to Texas, going into the weekend.”

It is not clear when Ginger will be back in New York City or the GMA studio.

‘STAY SAFE!’

Since a lot of the dangerous weather was heading to where Ginger is currently at, fans told her to stay safe in Texas.

“Stay safe in storm area y’all. Have a great day!” said another.

“Good Morning, Ginger! Please Stay Safe In Dallas, TX Today,” wrote one follower.

A third added: “Be Careful.”

“Please stay safe out there,” begged a fan.

TV TEARS

Just one day before she flew to Texas, Ginger admitted that she “cried all of her make-up off.”

She shared a heartfelt admission with the author of a book she’s been reading.

Ginger took some time out to share an emotional moment with fans on social media.

The meteorologist tweeted to NPR’s Mary Louise Kelly with an emotional response.

She had been reading Mary Louise’s IT. Goes. So. Fast.

The book is by the NPR All Things Considered host and explores the personal choices we make as parents, family members, and humans as a whole.

Ginger tweeted directly to Mary Louise with her thoughts on the book.

She wrote: “@NPRKelly listening to your book as I drive to a bridal shower, away from my two young boys, crying my makeup off after I had applied it regretfully, wondering if I should go since I just found out I’ll miss another baseball game this week because I’ll be flying to another story.

“Thank you. And I’ve found a chinchilla & many dogs have been named after me.”

The heartfelt message reflected Ginger’s ongoing thoughts on spending time away from her family for work.

She lamented being unable to be around for her kids and making the choice to travel often as a journalist.

It’s clearly very difficult for Ginger to be away from her family when she’s working as a meteorologist, especially when she reports live on the scene.

SAD NEWS about GMA host Ginger Zee’s family leaves colleagues and fans worried and emotional!

GOOD Morning America meteorologist Ginger Zee has shared to her personal Instagram a clip of herself s1ck in bed as she laments having the fl:u.

The GMA co-host has been home recovering from her illness, but she made time to reach out to her fans to keep them updated.

Ginger captioned her post: “Verified Flu & CVD within a month. Special. Hope you all are healthy. I’ll be back as soon as I am able. #fl:u #cvd #s1ck“

“It’s really unbelievable,” Ginger began as she recorded the video from her bed.

“Flu three weeks ago, Cvd, and…we’re not sure,” she said with a raspy voice.

“Miles has been throwing up a lot, so I guess this is what you get with Pre-K,” Ginger said.

Unfortunately, it sounds like little Miles has been s1ck too.

Ginger explained she had the fl:u in the video and she had previously suffered from Cvd-19.

She mentioned her son Miles has been ‘throwing up‘ recently as well.

Ginger will likely need to take some time off to recover fully.

HEARTACHE – GMA Host Ginger Zee tearfully reveals her son Miles is also Sick!

GOOD Morning America meteorologist Ginger Zee has shared to her personal Instagram a clip of herself sick in bed as she laments having the flu.

The GMA co-host has been home recovering from her illness, but she made time to reach out to her fans to keep them updated.

She shared a short video to Instagram talking directly to viewers.

Ginger captioned her post: “Verified Flu & CVD within a month. Special. Hope you all are healthy. I’ll be back as soon as I am able. #flu #cvd #sick”

Clad in a black shirt with a messy updo, the GMA mainstay looked around as she spoke to the camera.

“It’s really unbelievable,” Ginger began as she recorded the video from her bed.

“Flu three weeks ago, Cvd, and…we’re not sure,” she said with a raspy voice.

“Miles has been throwing up a lot, so I guess this is what you get with Pre-K,” Ginger said as she ended the short clip.

Miles is Ginger’s young son, who has apparently been bringing home the germs that have affected the meteorologist.

Unfortunately, it sounds like little Miles has been sick too, with both mom and son under the weather.

Fans took to the post to send Ginger well wishes.

One fan wrote “Hope you feel better soon.”

Another shared “And you still look amazing…feel better”

A third said “Hope you feel better Ginger! Healing vibes being sent your way.”

NOT HAIR FOR IT

Meanwhile, Ginger has had no time for haters’ comments as she clapped back at a troll who criticized her hair color.

The meteorologist took down a critic on Twitter for claiming she looked better with a blonde hairdo.

In the tweet, the user compared Ginger’s natural brunette locks to a lighter hairstyle, saying they preferred the latter.

They wrote: @Ginger_Zee Good Morning to you!!! Just wanted to say I think you Look Better with #BlondeHair vice your natural brown color, girl. Still as ATTRACTIVE as ever though!!”

The fan attempted to tone down their seemingly harsh words by adding a thumbs-up emoji.

However, the TV personality didn’t find the backhanded comment necessary and let them know in her reply.

Ginger, 42, simply wrote back: “ThNks for your opinion.”

In October, GInger revealed what she would look like with a lightened-up look while wearing a choppy blonde wig to a Halloween party.

She paired it with black pants and a sheer black top, showing her bra through the shirt.

Ginger hosted the bash with her husband, Ben Aaron, inviting friends and some of her ABC colleagues.

The blonde look didn’t appear to stick with Ginger as she returned to her brown hair color after the celebration.

HAIR TRANSFORMATION

Instead, she flaunted a new hairstyle with a shorter cut and bangs last month.

She revealed the makeover in a gym selfie she shared on Instagram, rocking a black sports bra and a tight blue top.

She smiled softly at the camera, seemingly feeling her new look.

In the same post, Ginger shared a video taken during her morning commute to Good Morning America.

In it, the ABC star sat in the front seat of her car, excitingly running her fingers through her new hairdo.

She gushed over the hairstyle, telling her followers: “I call these flu bangs. Flu bangs. I’m just happy to be alive. You don’t even know me.”

Ginger further explained the sudden hair change in her caption: “I’m calling them ‘flu bangs’ — because I’m so grateful I survived. Life is short, cut bangs also, I may or may not have watched all 3 seasons of @emilyinparis when I was sick & had a little @lilyjcollins inspiration— no trauma here, just flu. #flubangs #bangs #haircut #cut #traumabangs.”

Fans adored the updated look and let the TV star know in the comments.

“They look wonderful. Glad you’re feeling better,” one person wrote.

“They look gorgeous. A whole new look for you, of course you look pretty in any style!” another remarked.

“Or you can call them ZZZZZZ BANGS,” a third joked.

“I love your flu bangs! You look fabulous!” a fourth fan added.

Ginger’s hair transformation came after falling ill with the flu, causing her to take a couple of days off from GMA.

Her co-hosts, Michael Strahan, George Stephanopoulos, and Robin Roberts, held down the fort until she returned.

Loose Women airs awkward Meghan Markle showdown as guest shuts down Janet

The Loose Women panel discussed Meghan Markle’s jam as a guest on the ITV show hit back at a comment from Janet Street-Porter.

The panel of Loose Women landed themselves in an awkward moment on the ITV show as the topic of Meghan Markles’ brand came up. The Duchess has recently released new jams under her lifestyle brand, As Ever – with the panellists sharing their thoughts on the products.

British businesswoman and entrepreneur Emma Grede was on the show as she joined in on the discussion. The founding partner of Skims furiously defended Meghan as Janet Street-Porter ripped into her. Speaking about Meghan’s business, Janet suggested: “I think it wasn’t as easy as maybe she expected.” Emma replied: “I mean, I don’t know. I am really interested in what people are doing under the hood. I’m like ‘Great, I get it, you made some jam. And you’re going to sell that.’ Like, what does it take to make a proper business?” Janet then cut in with a scathing remark as she snapped: “Well, Emma, with all due respect, she did not make that jam herself.” But Emma was clearly on the ball as she hit back: “She’s making a brand. Do I make the knickers myself? No.”

The panel and audience then burst into laughter, Janet included, as Emma gave her co-star a sassy shrug.

Fans of the show were very much in Emma’s corner. One wrote on X/Twitter: “Hard luck Janet you tried to put Meghan down there but Emma wasn’t having it. Emma is just amazing.”

Another complained: “God’s sake, they are so obsessed with Meghan’s jam! It’s literally all they talk about. They make out that Meghan is the only businesswoman that outsources stuff. Honestly, it’s pathetic.”

A third added: “These old women really don’t want Meghan to have anything and it burns them to the core that she is succeeding after the hate campaign they all contributed to.”

Emma hit headlines recently after speaking to Meghan for her Aspire podcast which came out on Tuesday. The Duchess also used the podcast to deny that her personal Instagram account, where she shares behind the scenes footage of family life, is a tool to promote her business, claiming that everything that she posts is “authentic”.

Reflecting on the podcast, Grede said: “When I sat down with Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, I expected a great conversation, but what I didn’t expect was how much clarity, conviction and honestly genuine wisdom that she brought to the table.”

She added: “Meghan doesn’t just talk about building a brand – she’s building something with purpose, precision and with a lot of heart. And there were a few moments that really stayed with me.”

BREAKING – “Chilling Chant” at Glastonbury sparks Ofcom investigation – BBC in deep trouble over Bob Vylan’s performance as audience erupts in Outrage and Debate!

The BBC have said they “should have pulled” the live stream of Bob Vylan’s Glastonbury performance. During their set on the West Holts stage, Bobby Vylan lead a crowd to chant ‘D to the I:D:F’.

The corporation admitted the set aired “utterly unacceptable” and “ant1sem1tic s3nt1ments”. The BBC have now said in a statement: “Millions of people tuned in to enjoy Glastonbury this weekend across the BBC’s output but one performance within our live streams included comments that were d33ply 0ff3nsive.

“The BBC respects freedom of expression but stands firmly against inc1tement to vi0l3nce. The ant1sem1tic s3nt1ments expressed by Bob Vylan were utterly unacceptable and have no place on our airwaves. We welcome Glastonbury’s condemnation of the performance. The performance was part of a live stream of the West Holts stage on BBC iPlayer.

“The judgement on Saturday to issue a warning on screen while streaming online was in line with our editorial guidelines. In addition, we took the decision not to make the performance available on demand. The team were dealing with a live situation but with hindsight we should have pulled the stream during the performance. We regret this did not happen.

“In light of this weekend, we will look at our guidance around live events so we can be sure teams are clear on when it is acceptable to keep output on air.”

During the set, which aired on Saturday, Bobby Vylan led a string of chants. The set was uploaded to iPlayer and remained on the site for more than five hours before it was eventually removed by the BBC.

Alongside the stream, the corporation issued a warning about “very strong and d1scrim1nat0ry language” before it was later decided that the set would not be available to watch on demand.

It comes as Ofcom issued a warning to the BBC. An Ofcom spokesperson said: “We are very concerned about the live stream of this performance, and the BBC clearly has questions to answer.

“We have been speaking to the BBC over the weekend and we are obtaining further information as a matter of urgency, including what procedures were in place to ensure compliance with its own editorial guidelines.”

Last night, Bobby Vylan took to Instagram to defiantly say: “I said what I said,” alongside a lengthy statement. He wrote: “As I lay in bed this morning, my phone buzzing non stop, inundated with messages of both support and hatred, I listen to my daughter typing out loud as she fills out a school survey asking for her feedback on the current state of school dinners.

“She expressed that she would like healthier meals, more options and dishes inspired by other parts of the world. Listening to her voice her opinions on a matter that she cares about and affects her daily, reminds me that we may not be doomed after all.”

He added: “Teaching our children to speak up for the change they want and need is the only way that we make this world a better place. As we grow older and our fire possibly starts to dim under the suffocation of adult life and all its responsibilities, it is incredibly important that we encourage and inspire future generations to pick up the torch that was passed to us.”

The BBC did issue a statement over the weekend, where they said they would not be letting fans stream Bob Vylan on demand. The organisation said: “Some of the comments made during Bob Vylan’s set were d33ply 0ff3ns1ve.

“During this live stream on iPlayer, which reflected what was happening on stage, a warning was issued on screen about the very strong and d1scr1m1nat0ry language. We have no plans to make the performance available on demand.”

Bob Vylan was formed in Ipswich in 2017 and they have released four albums over the years, addressing issues to do with racism, masculinity and class.

In a post on social media following both Bob Vylan and Kneecap’s sets, Avon and Somerset Police said: “We are aware of the comments made by acts on the West Holts Stage at Glastonbury Festival this afternoon. Video evidence will be assessed by officers to determine whether any offences may have been committed that would require a criminal investigation.”

UNBELIEVABLE – Viral VIDEO shows JoJo Siwa’s 2 EXES Kath Ebbs and Avery Cyrus – Fans speculate about their PLAN to TROLL JoJo and Chris Hughes!

JoJo Siwa‘s exes Kath Ebbs and Avery Cyrus have teamed up for a new TikTok video as they debuted their surprising friendship.

The Dance Moms star, 22, dramatically split from Kath, 27, at the Celebrity Big Brother UK wrap party earlier this year after meeting her now-boyfriend Chris Hughes, 32.

Following the fallout, Kath made several not-so-subtle swipes at JoJo on TikTok, which were swiftly deleted, but they have now added fuel to the fire by creating a new video with Avery.

YouTuber Avery, who dated JoJo for three months back in 2022, shared a cheeky video of the pair dancing and lip syncing to the PinkPantheress track ‘Illegal’.

The song includes the lyric ‘is this illegal? It feels illegal’, while Kath – who uses they/them pronouns – also shared their own video also featuring JoJo’s ex.

The second clip showed the pair dancing to the Hilary Duff song, What Dreams Are Made Of, which featured in the teen movie, The Lizzie McGuire Movie.

‘Sing for me Paolo,’ Kath wrote in reference to the movie’s love interest while tagging Avery in the caption.

Their unlikely bond caused quite the stir among fans, with several commenting that Kath and Avery have created ‘a Siwa support club’.

Comments included: ‘Is this like a support group lol; I didn’t see that coming lol both jojo’s exs; Is there like a gc or support group for jojos exes??;

‘The collab we’ve all been waiting for; Omg I love it!! Therapy sessions; I would love to be a fly on the wall for their convos lol.’

JoJo has not responded to their new video and simply took to her own TikTok account to share a gushing video with her boyfriend Chris.

In the clip, JoJo surprised the former Love Island star with a red-themed snack board complete with love-heart shaped strawberries as she flaunted their affections.

She wrote: ‘Saw this on my FYP and I wanted to make a colored snack board so I asked Christopher to pick a color, and he said red… had to deliver!!❤️

‘He didn’t know what I was doing and had no idea what to expect haha he loved it. turned out to be so fun to make and really nice to enjoy!’

Kath took to social media last week to reveal the five things they’ve learnt since their headline-making break-up from JoJo.

The LGBTQIA+ activist shared a video montage on Instagram showing them enjoying time with friends and family.

‘5 lessons I’ve learnt over the past months,’ Kath, who is non-binary, captioned the post.

‘Friendship and community really are a life force. Allow those that see you and love you to hold you,’ they began.

They then went on to reflect on the pressures of social media, especially in the public eye.

‘Do not allow your sense of self to be dictated on an app like TikTok. People are just looking for entertainment here. Don’t take it personally because you are just a porn in their story, not an actual human being,’ they wrote.

‘Feel it all but also remember to laugh and have fun with the chaos. It’s not that deep.

‘Continue to live by your values and integrity even when you feel misunderstood. Your life will always be much fuller in the long run if you stay true to who you are and what you believe in (I hope).’

Kath’s fifth lesson then broached the topic of love and seemingly made a dig at their former girlfriend.

‘Don’t mistake attachment for love. Love is a doing word rooted in care. Look to your friends as a blueprint,’ they tellingly wrote.

The union of exes has caused quite the stir among fans with several commenting that Kath and Avery have created ‘a Siwa support club’ and others wishing they could be a ‘fly on the wall’

The post, which was accompanied by Alex Warren’s song Ordinary, also included a caption written on the clip.

‘Move on,’ it pointedly read.

‘You’re so g*d d**n loved by those that matter.’

Meanwhile, JoJo’s romance with Chris appears to be heating up, as fans have begun to speculate whether she’s plotting a permanent move to the UK.

The star jetted back to the US on Sunday after spending the week with her boyfriend in England, sharing on Snapchat she’s returning home to work on her new song, which will be released in a matter of days.

Since meeting Chris on Celebrity Big Brother in April, JoJo has shared she’s been embraced by her newfound British fanbase, in stark contrast to the cruel backlash she’s faced from some fans in the States.

Last month, the star postponed her US tour, which was due to kick off on July 10, as well as a planned performance at a Chicago Pride event, though the latter was blamed on a ‘scheduling conflict’.

The star has embraced many parts of British culture, enjoying a Sunday roast with Chris mere days after they left the CBB house.

The star has also admitted she’s now a converted tea-drinker, and soaked up the British countryside last month when she met Chris’ family at their home in The Cotswolds.

During a dance class at Pineapple Dance Studios last month, JoJo also hinted that she’d be willing to relocate to the UK for Chris, saying she feels ‘so loved’ by her newfound British fanbase.

She said: ‘Interestingly enough I feel so loved right now by the world, it’s been beautiful.

‘It’s the UK and I really feel it from here.. it’s been really beautiful this last month, it’s been beautiful, it’s been lovely, and I think I have just never been genuinely happier.

JoJo then coyly went onto add: ‘You can see it, it radiates off me, and yeah there’s a reason why!’

JoJo Siwa officially sets the record straight on her sexuality

During the chat, the star was asked whether she’d be open to relocating to the UK to be with Chris, and JoJo said that while it may be an option in the future, she feels there’s ‘no shame’ in dividing her time between the US and UK for now.

‘Obviously I have a beautiful boy here and he’s incredible, obviously he’s here, his friends are here and his family is here,’ she said.

‘Obviously I’m in America, my friends are in America, my family is in America.

‘Life is life, and I think there’s no shame in splitting time, and all of a sudden one way is that way and the other way is that way, I don’t know we go as we go! But yeah I love it here! It’s beautiful.

‘Honestly, coming here as a kid I used to, this sounds horrible, I used to dread it because I didn’t understand the food, I didn’t understand the culture.

‘After Big Brother I have never loved a place more, and I think it’s because I really got embraced with the culture and the food by being literally in a house with just that, when it’s all that.

‘But it’s genuinely become my favourite place in the world, I could spend all my time here, I love it.’

JoJo has also heavily hinted that there are plans for more shows in the UK later this year, after two performances in London back in May.

OVERJOYED – Sam Thompson’s sister Louise Thompson reveals the Truth about Sam and Emma Watson – sending fans into a Frenzy!

Sam Thompson has revealed that he is ‘not ready’ to date again following his split from Samie Eilishi as he opened up in a new podcast released on Wednesday.

The 32-year-old TV star’s romance with the Love Island personality, 25, was said to have ‘fizzled out’ after two-months together, MailOnline revealed over the weekend.

And now the former Made In Chelsea star has told how his sister Louise has weighed in on his love life as she hopes he finds someone ‘classy’ or ‘well to do’.

Speaking to his best pal Pete Wicks on their podcast Staying Relevant, Sam opened up about his recent break up as he admitted he will not be dating again anytime soon.

He said: ‘Louise thinks I should go out with Emma Watson, who plays Hermione Granger in Harry Potter‘.

Laughing, Pete replied: ‘I think you have more chance with the ginger fella’.

‘Ron! No, Louise thinks I should go for British thespian because she thinks its a little different, classy is the wrong word, but well to do’, Sam added.

Pete joked: ‘Opposites attract, she wants you to go out with someone opposite to even you out.’

Confirming he won’t be dating for a while, Sam bluntly confirmed: ‘No, I’m going to work on myself. No dating, I’m not ready and I’ve realised that’.

He started dating Samie in April and the couple were later spotted pass10nately k1ss1ng after attending Olivia Attwood‘s birthday party.

It was his first public relationship since his separation from girlfriend of five years Zara McDermott, 28, who is now with One Direction singer, Louis Tomlinson.

A source confirmed that the pair decided against taking their romance any further due to their busy work schedules, which in recent weeks has seen Sam raise over £1.6million for charity UNICEF after he conquered a 260-mile endurance challenge.

The former I’m A Celeb winner said taking part in the mammoth task, where he transported the Soccer Aid match ball from last year’s stadium, London’s Stamford Bridge in London, to this year’s venue, Old Trafford in Manchester, gave him the focus he needed to overcome a difficult start to 2025.

Meanwhile, Samie, who Sam had introduced to close friend and Staying Relevant co-host Pete Wicks, has been jet setting with various brands following her stint on Love Island: All Stars earlier this year, including to Mykonos, Greece, with Space NK.

A source told MailOnline: ‘Sam and Samie’s romance just fizzled out, there was so much attraction between them initially, but their busy schedules made it difficult for them to spend quality time together.

‘For Sam, it was his first relationship since his split from Zara and the feeling is he would rather concentrate on work before getting into another long-term commitment.’

Sam’s split from Samie follows his sister Louise previously sharing her take on who she believes he should date.

Speaking on the Staying Relevant podcast from earlier this month, Louise said: ‘I would love for you to try dating someone that has a normal job, outside of the media space, I think that could be exciting.

‘You definitely need someone that slightly puts you in your place who’s going to talk back to you and not let you get away with everything. It can’t just be Sam’s way or the highway in a relationship.’

Louise added: ‘And look, if you’re going to go down the fame route can you just find someone that I would get along with, I’m thinking young, British actress, like Emma Watson.’

The former Chelsea star’s comments on the podcast provoked one fan to say she ‘never really liked Zara.’

But Louise hit back, saying: ‘I have to interject here. I actually really adored Zara.’

MailOnline has contacted Sam and Samie’s representatives for comment.

It was his first public relationship since his separation from girlfriend of five years Zara McDermott , 28, who is now with One Direction singer, Louis Tomlinson

It comes after Zara opened up about her split from Sam for the first time, revealing she’s found the ‘non-existent drama’ around the break-up ‘frustrating’.

Sam and Zara enjoyed five years together, with much of their romance documented on Made In Chelsea, but Zara swiftly moved on wit Louis.

Zara and her new flame seemed smitten as they enjoyed dates and romantic getaways before Louis and Sam came face-to-face for the first time at Soccer Aid earlier this month.

A seemingly awkward interaction ensued, with Louis reportedly blanking Sam following the match at Old Trafford despite holding ‘peace talks’ at the team hotel earlier.

The woman at the centre of the drama was however nowhere to be seen, with Zara now admitting the reaction to her love life has been ‘frustrating’. 

Addressing their pitch-side run-in, Zara told The Sun: ‘The only thing in my life worth writing about is the work I do.’

The star also revealed that, despite still posting glamorous snaps to her Instagram, she no longer spends much time on social media and is more grounded in her ‘relationships’.

‘I don’t care about social media as much as I used to, or about the aesthetic or the image, I value so much real relationships and real support around me, and being that to other people,’ she added.

‘I’m a totally different person to the one I was when I was 21 years old and stepped into what appeared to be a glitzy world of showbiz, my day to day life is not at all glitz and glamour.’

TOP 3 candidates for the new James Bond NOT ENOUGH – Fans demand a viral 4th Name!

James Bond bosses have reportedly narrowed down their shortlist to just three names after a flurry of speculation.

It is believed that Saltburn star Jacob Elordi, Spider-Man’s Tom Holland and Babygirl actor Harris Dickinson are at the top of Amazon’s wish list, according to Variety.

Inside sources reportedly told the publication that the studio and producers are interested in casting a British actor under the age of 30.

And while Jacob, 28, is Australian, he is still believed to be in the running as fellow Aussie actor George Lazenby has previously played Bond in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service in 1969.

MailOnline has contacted representatives for Amazing, Jacob Elordi, Tom Holland and Harris Dickinson for comment. Amazon declined to comment when contacted by Variety.

The studio announced on Wednesday that Denis Villeneuve – best known for directing Warner Bros.’ two-part Dune adaptation – has signed on to direct the untitled film, via Amazon press release.

Theories have rife around which names are in the running to replace Daniel Craig, after he made his last appearance as Bond in the 2021 film No Time To D13

The French-Canadian filmmaker, 57, will also serve as executive producer of the project alongside Tanya Lapointe.

Amazon had previously announced Amy Pascal and David Heyman as the film’s producers, after the studio parted ways with longtime 007 caretakers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson.

The news comes just over three years after Amazon completed its massive $8.5billion acquisition of MGM Studios that included the James Bond franchise.

There hasn’t been a Bond film since 2021’s No Time to D13, the final instalment with Daniel Craig as the beloved secret agent.

The director said in a statement, ‘Some of my earliest movie-going memories are connected to 007. I grew up watching James Bond films with my father, ever since Dr. No with Sean Connery.’

He added, ‘I’m a die-hard Bond fan. To me, he’s sacred territory. I intend to honor the tradition and open the path for many new missions to come.’

The filmmaker admitted: ‘This is a massive responsibility, but also, incredibly exciting for me and a huge honor.’

He also went on to thank Bond producers Amy and David, adding they, ‘are absolutely thrilled to bring him back to the screen. Thank you to Amazon MGM Studios for their trust’.

Amy and David added, ‘Denis Villeneuve has been in love with James Bond movies since he was a little boy.

‘It was always his dream to make this movie, and now it’s ours, too. We are lucky to be in the hands of this extraordinary filmmaker.’

After Amazon acquired MGM in 2022, they obtained full creative control of the 007 franchise with a deal they struck with Barbara and Michael, the offspring of original James Bond producer, Albert R. Broccoli.

Barbara and Michael had been overseeing the franchise since 1995, when their father ceded control of his Eon Productions company to them.

Amazon reached an agreement with Barbara and Michael in March 2025, and while financial terms were not disclosed, it was rumored to be upwards of $1 billion.

Villeneuve made his directorial debut in 1998 with August 32nd on Earth, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival that year.

Who should be the next Bond?

He followed that up with Maelstrom (2000), Polytechnique (2009) and Incendies (2010), the latter of which was nominated for Best International Film at the Academy Awards.

The filmmaker broke through in Hollywood with 2013’s Pris0ners, a dark drama starring Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal.

He continued to win acclaim for 2013’s Enemy, 2015’s Sicario, 2016’s Arrival, 2017’s Blade Runner 2049 and, most recently, 2021’s Dune: Part One and 2024’s Dune: Part Two.

Speculation has continued to grow over who will be the next big-screen Bond, with Aaron Taylor-Johnson previously touted as a favourite among industry figures.

The acquisition of the Bond franchise by Amazon earlier this year has also prompted a flurry of guesses as to where they might take the franchise next.

Bond has been spoiled with video game adaptations since the 1980s, with early adaptations taking the form of shooting games or text adventures in which players typed in what they wanted the super-spy to do.

Amazon bosses are currently said to be considering locations in which to set the much-anticipated new film, which experts predicted is likely to be released at the end of next year or in 2027.

Due to a filming ban being imposed in Central London next year, new locations are reportedly being considered – with Liverpool a frontrunner, according to The Sun.

An insider told the publication: ‘This will no doubt irk Bond purists who already fear Amazon taking over the 007 franchise may lead to them making big changes.

‘But Liverpool is a well-known alternative to London for film-makers.

‘It has appeared in everything from The Batman to Captain America and Harry Potter movies, doubling up as international cities.’

The source added that it doesn’t necessarily mean the story will be set in Liverpool – though eagle-eyed Merseysiders will no doubt spot their city centre in the background.

It was announced earlier this year that Amazon Prime had taken over ‘creative control’ of the James Bond franchise leaving fans fearing the beloved films could be ruined by endless spin-offs such as Star Wars.

The deal comes after Amazon bought MGM Studios in 2022 as a part of its media push. The acquisition gave Amazon distribution rights to the 007 franchise but not creative control.

The company is said to be fast-tracking the new movie after spending a reported $1 billion to regain control from Barbara Broccoli.

There is reportedly set to be no explanation of how the special agent is still alive, no multiverse of Bonds and no attempt to go back to the 1960s for a vintage Bond.

Barbara Broccoli’s choice for Bond was thought to be Aaron Taylor-Johnson, who was once favourite for the role, but Heyman and Pascal are likely to want to choose their own 007.

BLATANT FAV0URITISM – The Chase sh0ck as Bradley Walsh “ACCEPTS” Jenny Ryan’s WRONG ANSWER – Fans furious!

The Chase sh0ck: Bradley Walsh ‘ACCEPTS’ Jenny Ryan’s WRONG ANSWER – fans furious!

The Chase fans raged as Bradley Walsh accepted an ‘incorrect’ answer from Jenny Ryan during the most recent instalment of the ITV show.

Monday’s episode saw Nick, 65, Laura, 41, Aiden, 22, and Vivienne, 59, take on Jenny, 43, AKA The Vixen in a bid to win some cash.

Despite their best efforts, only Laura and Nick made it through to the final round with £3k.

But one answer that Jenny put forward to host Bradley certainly ruffled a few feathers to those watching at home.

Bradley asked: ‘What colour indicates semi-skimmed milk on bottles?’

After pondering about her answer, Jenny said: ‘Red and silver.’

Bradley replied: ‘I’ll accept.’

Many watching rushed to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their anger – pointing out that it wasn’t ‘correct’.

‘Semi skimmed milk tops are green #thechase.’

‘Semi skimmed is green!’

‘I thought semi skimmed was green?!#

However others pointed out there’s a difference in colour coding between glass and plastic containers.

‘On bottles it’s red and silver stripes,’ one wrote.

‘Semi skimmed milk in glass bottles are red/silver striped. Poly containers it’s green. #thechase.’

Last week, fans of The Chase were left fuming by a question they’ve ‘heard a million times before’ from Bradley Walsh.

Thursday’s instalment of the popular quiz show saw contestants Wayne, Emma, Spencer and Gillian take on the Chaser Mark Labbett, known as The Beast, in an attempt to win a cash prize.

By the end, only pharmacist Emma and Wayne, who works as a local government officer, had made it to the final round and built up a £12,000 pot.

As they worked their way through their last set of questions, Bradley asked: ‘The Grin Reaper is a work by which Bristol street artist?’

The correct answer was Banksy, however the mention of the artist set some fans into a rage because they felt he was frequently referenced on the show.

One penned: ‘Daily Banksy question #TheChase.’

Another chimed in: ‘Banksy, Banksy, stupid f*****g Banksy. #thechase.’

While someone else, according to the Express penned: ‘Banksy klaxon! We’ve heard these Banksy questions a million times!’

Viewers have previously pointed out that the street artist has featured in questions before and commented: ‘Banksy eh? Never heard him mentioned before. #thechase.’;

‘Has there ever been a final chase where Banksy hasn’t been one of the answers? #thechase.’;

‘Banksy!!! Of course!! Hasn’t been mentioned yet this week….. #thechase.’;

‘It seems like ages since we’ve had a Banksy question – but in fact it was probably only 4 days ago… #TheChase.’

‘Oh a Banksy question that’s a first #TheChase,’ someone else said, followed by an eye-roll emoji.

In the end, Mark beat the contestants with 28 seconds remaining and they walked away empty handed.

It comes after The Chase fans were left ‘screaming at the screen’ as a contestant fumbled a ‘ridiculously easy’ question on a recent episode of the ITV game show.

The repeat instalment, shown earlier this week, saw Justin from Manchester, Reanna from Liverpool, Nicola from Nottingham and Matthew from Leeds take on the game.

They were up against Shaun Wallace AKA The Dark Destroyer as they competed against the expert quizzer in a bid to take home the cash prize.

Justin was first up to the podium, supported by host Bradley – but he was soon caught out and eliminated before reaching the final round.

Reanna came next, building up a solid £4,000 during the cash builder quick-fire round – so things were looking good for the contestant.

But the final question she faced – since dubbed ‘ridiculously easy’ by fans – during the main Chase itself saw her taken out too.

Bradley asked her: ‘In legend, how did the basilisk kl its prey?’

He was referring to a serpent-like monster from Greek and Roman mythology which can KL with a stare.

But it was made more famous after it was included in the second Harry Potter book, as the terrifying magical beast living in the titular Chamber of Secrets.

The options Reanna was given were ‘stinging’, ‘shouting’ and ‘staring’.

Sadly, though, she missed the correct answer of ‘staring’ and found herself eliminated from the game.

Viewers took to social media to express their frustration at her missing what could have been an easy win in their eyes.

One said, the Express reports: ‘She’s clearly never watched Harry Potter.’

Another commented, ‘These questions are ridiculous!’, while someone replied: ‘Ridiculously easy? I quite agree.’
