Daniel Day Lewis made a shock return to a film set on Tuesday after quitting acting in 2017. With his grey beard, he looked completely unrecognisable as he shot motorbike scenes with actor Sean Bean in Manchester seven years after retiring.  The legendary actor - who starred in Gangs of New York, There Will Be Blood, The Last of the Mohicans - never gave a reason for his exit, with his team insisting it was a 'private decision'.

He's widely considered to be the greatest actor of his generation - having won three Oscars, four BAFTAs and two Golden Globes over the course of his forty year career. But in 2017, Daniel Day Lewis (centre, with wife Rebecca Miller in 2023) sent shockwaves through Hollywood when he announced he was retiring at the age of 60. The legendary actor (left, in New York in 2018) - who starred in Gangs of New York, There Will Be Blood, The Last of the Mohicans - never gave a reason for his exit, with his team insisting it was a 'private decision'. In a statement, Daniel's representatives simply said he was 'immensely grateful for his collaborators and audiences' and would not be making any further comment. However, the notoriously private star (left inset, with his Best Actor Oscar in 1990) appears to have made an exception for his director son Gabriel, 29, who is currently working on his directorial debut. Earlier this week, the father-of-three, who is the only person to have won three Best Actor Oscars, was pictured filming scenes in Manchester for the upcoming movie Anemone (right) alongside Sean Bean. Although Daniel's role has not been confirmed yet, the British star- who shares Gabriel with French actress Isabelle Adjani -  was pictured wearing a khaki padded jacket and white helmet as he drove Sean around on a motorbike. So, how did Daniel spend his seven years in retirement? And does this mark the start of his full-time return to Hollywood?

For years, the makers of Henderson's Relish have insisted it is not a Worcestershire sauce. But the condiment - made in Sheffield since 1885 - has added the words 'Worcester' and 'Worcestershire' to some labels, prompting accusations of 'sacrilege' from fans. A fierce rival to Lea & Perrin's Worcestershire Sauce, the debate as to which product is better remains a matter of taste.

With the Euros kicking off, fans up and down the UK will be glued to their screens. But what if you don't like football?

But if you find penalty shootouts and the intricacies of the off side rule a turn-off there are plenty of shows to watch instead.

This is the moment Sean Bean grapples with a bouncer before he is wrestled to the floor and dragged out of a Liverpool bar after allegedly being told off for vaping. The Game of Thrones star was seen being manhandled by security, one of whom had a hand around the actor's throat, at the Tom Thumb pub last Friday during a night off from filming a new BBC drama in the city. In the footage the Sharpe actor can be heard being told to 'calm down' before a member of staff tells him to leave the pub. The 65-year-old is then dragged out of the booth he had been sitting in, with a witness claiming he had to be taken to the ground and forcibly removed. Bean has been involved in multiple incidents at bars and pubs throughout his career, and on one occasion was even stabbed during a blazing row over a glamour model.

The family of Line of Duty star Brian McCardie have launched a drive to raise funds for research into heart disease - and his co-star on the show Paul Higgins made a generous donation.  McCardie was best known for his role as underworld boss John Thomas 'Tommy' Hunter in the police drama. The 59-year-old was described as a 'wonderful and passionate actor' by his sister Sarah who revealed his sudden death last month.

Line of Duty actor Brian McCardie died after suffering a tear to a major heart artery, his devastated family have revealed. The actor, best known for playing underworld boss John Thomas 'Tommy' Hunter in the popular BBC police drama, passed away suddenly at his home in April , aged 59. In a post shared on X - formerly Twitter - his sister Sarah revealed he had an aortic dissection, a rare condition where a weakened aorta wall tears.

CHRISTOPHER STEVENS: Thomas Cromwell, Henry VIII's right-hand man, had a head like a toad. We can see his fat jowls and tiny eyes in the portrait by Hans Holbein. It's impossible that anyone, least of all the vain monarch, ever looked at Cromwell and thought, 'In 500 years that bloke is going to be a sex symbol.' But the son of a Putney blacksmith has been played by James Frain in The Tudors, Mark Rylance in Wolf Hall (adapted from the books by Dame Hilary Mantel, who confessed she was in love with her Cromwell), and now Sean Bean in the Tudor detective thriller Shardlake. He was also portrayed by Kenneth Williams in Carry On Henry, though Barbara Windsor was the only sex symbol in that version of history.

Sarah McCardie announced her sibling's death in a heart-wrenching statement on X as she told how 'we love him and will miss him greatly'. Sarah, herself an actor and director who starred in ITV television drama Irvine Welsh's Crime, said her brother had 'touched many lives'. Producers of Line of Duty Jed Mercurio and Simon Heath also paid an emotional tribute in a joint statement in which they described Brian as an 'incredibly talented actor'. Scottish star Brian was best known for playing mafia boss John Thomas 'Tommy' Hunter in BBC crime drama Line of Duty, but also appeared in Outlander and had joined the cast of series prequel Blood of My Blood. Brian recently appeared in the hit BBC prison drama Time, starring Sean Bean and Stephen Graham - and before that hit the big time with a prominent role in action sequel Speed 2 alongside Sandra Bullock.

The writer has passed away just days before the release of the Disney+ adaption of his series of Tudor-era novels. They depict the rise of Shardlake, a barrister, who solves crimes whilst trying to avoid becoming enmeshed in political shenanigans in the court of Henry VIII. Disney+'s new series stars Arthur Hughes (right) as Shardlake and Sean Bean as Thomas Cromwell, Henry's chief minister who was later beheaded. Sansom's first Shardlake novel, Dissolution, was published 21 years ago.

Sean Bean, from Sheffield, speaks about his new role as Thomas Cromwell (left) in the gripping new historical thriller Shardlake. The sequel to BBC2's blockbuster Tudor drama Wolf Hall is currently in the works and now Disney+ whisks us back to the same era of intrigue and danger with its new series. History buff Bean, 65, was lured to the role of Cromwell having already read the books. 'I've always been interested in the medieval and Tudor eras and history in general,' he explains.

Dr. Geoffrey Guy's company, Alo Brake, 58, and his partner Andrew, 68, were sued after refusing to leave his Dorset country pile, Axnoller House (inset), for more than three years. Sprawling West Axnoller Farm, where the mansion is located, was previously owned by Mrs Brake, who with her husband converted it from a desecratic state to a high-end wedding venue, where actor Sean Bean married his fifth wife, Ashley Moore. However, the couple's credit crunch of 2008 pulled them into seeking outside investment, resulting in the farm and wedding market eventually being sold to Dr. Guy (left), a medicinal cannabis multimillionaire named 'Dr Pot'. The Brakes continued to work for them after his 2017 purchase, whether living in a cottage on the farm or in the farm's 'jewel in the crown' Axnoller House, when it was not needed for an occasion.

Following a lengthy legal struggle with the entrepreneur, Alo Brake and her husband Andrew (right), whose firm sponsored celebrity marriages, lost their case against Dr. Geoffrey Guy (left). Since losing a High Court battle against the 69-year-old who earned his millions using medicinal cannabis and has been dubbed 'Dr. Pot,' the couple were forced to leave the Dorset estate they lived on last year.

Last night, the second instalment of BBC1's prison drama Time was broadcast, leaving viewers divided due to the subject's traumatic nature. Time 2 was a three-part series based on Sean Bean's highly rated first season of the drama, which featured Stephen Graham, Michael Socha, and James Nelson-Joyce. Series 2 is destined to a women's hospital, and it stars Jodie Whittaker and Tamara Lawrance, leading the charge. Bella Ramsey, a young actor whose impressive - and quickly expanding - body of exciting and varied work, is perhaps most notable for drama enthusiasts. Despite her youth, this new powerhouse role follows a string of memorable performances.
