Olivia Colman has revealed for the first time that she has always felt ‘nonbinary’ in a new interview to promote her latest film Jimpa
10:17, 08 Feb 2026Updated 10:18, 08 Feb 2026
Oscar award wining actress Olivia Colman has revealed that she has always “felt sort of nonbinary” in an interview to promote her latest film, Jimpa. The film follows the life of Hannah played by Olivia and her nonbinary daughter Frances, played by Aud Mason-Hyde, who travel to Amsterdam to visit her gay grandfather, known by the family name of Jimpa.
During an interview to promote her latest project Olivia, 52, candidly explained that she had never felt comfortable with “rigid gender roles”, which she is equally open about in her marriage to Ed Sinclair.
In the interview, she said: “Throughout my whole life, I’ve had arguments with people where I’ve always sort of felt nonbinary.” She added: “I’ve never felt massive feminine in my being female. I’ve always described myself to my husband as a gay man. And he goes ‘yeah I get that’. And so I do feel at home and at ease.”
The star of The Roses continued to tell the publication Them: “I don’t really spend a whole lot of time with people who are very staunchly heterosexual… The men I know and love are very in touch with all sides of themselves. I think with my husband and I, we take turns to be the ‘strong one,’ or the one who needs a little bit of gentleness. I believe everyone has all of it in them. I’ve always felt like that.”
She then went on to add: “I’m not alone in saying, ‘I don’t feel like it’s binary.’ And I loved that. I came away from making this film with, Yeah, I knew I wasn’t alone.”

Olivia and Ed tied the knot in 2001 and the pair share three children together, Finn, 20, Hall, 18 and a ten year old daughter. The couple first met during rehearsals for the production of Table Manners.
Ed, who is currently a screenwriter and film producer, was a budding actor at the time they first met. His most recent film, The Roses, was produced by himself and starred his wife alongside Benedict Cumberbatch.
Casting her mind back to the first time she saw Ed, Olivia told the publication: “I’d gone to two of the rehearsals and there was no one particularly fanciable there. Then I walked in and I saw his left-hand profile. “
“At the time he was smoking a ciggie, his feet were crossed, and he’s got this lovely bump in his nose and I saw his side profile and just went, oh my God, I’m going to marry him. ‘I had proper thunderbolts: that’s him, that’s him! Poor thing, he didn’t know.”
Speaking about her marriage back in 2013, the actress told The Daily Mail: “My husband and I were very lucky. We met when we had nothing and we loved each other then. So we were all right.We were 20 and he was also an actor. If you meet at that age then you’re fine.”
Explaining the secret to her decades long marriage she told the Good Hang podcast: “We’re not big fighters, which apparently isn’t very healthy. We have learned over the years – but really late on actually – to sometimes [think], if that was annoying, just wait.”

She added: “And it doesn’t work for everyone, I know that, but I think it’s much better to wait until the calmer moments to go, ‘Can we talk about that moment? I did find that a little weird and is that OK that I’m saying this and yes I was a bit cross that day’…”

National Highways shared that there had been a “very serious collision” and that they anticipated “accident investigations will be required” following the crash.
The road was closed for around three hours while emergency services worked on the scene with a diversion in place.

Burns blasted the controversy surrounding the derelict ground and warned the GAA will not be knocked off course.
20:59, 01 Mar 2026Updated 21:07, 01 Mar 2026
GAA chief Jarlath Burns has vowed: We WILL rebuild Casement Park — no matter who stands in the way.
The Belfast stadium has been left to rot for a staggering 13 years — but Burns insists the long-awaited resurrection is coming.
And he fired a defiant message at political opponents after fierce resistance from unionist voices. Burns blasted the controversy surrounding the derelict ground and warned the GAA will not be knocked off course.

He said: “It is a sad reflection on society in the North that providing a ground for Gaelic games should be such a contentious issue.
“When we saw only recently the debate in the Executive about how profits in Casement Park would be targeted — with one party going to the trouble of organising a full debate to try and force the GAA to give back any profit — it gives you a glimpse into the incredibly fraught environment.
“Ulster GAA, Antrim GAA and the people behind the Casement Park project cannot be faulted for the delays and obstacles which have kept the gates closed in West Belfast.”

But Burns delivered the ultimate rallying cry to GAA fans — insisting Casement WILL rise again.
He added: “We remain committed to having a new home for the GAA in Ireland’s second city.
“And there WILL be a Casement Park.”

The history of Arsenal vs Chelsea over the last 25 to 30 years tells a curious story of both clubs enjoying long spells of dominance and the balance of power currently lies in north London.
Arsène Wenger’s Arsenal, with the help of the odd Sylvinho screamer here and Nigel Winterburn rocket there, were Chelsea’s bête noire around the turn of the century.
Chelsea went 10 years without a league win against Arsenal between 1995 and 2005, but things started to change after Roman Abramovich’s takeover in 2003 and Wayne Bridge’s goal at Highbury in 2004 which knocked Arsenal’s ‘Invincibles’ out of the Champions League.
Advertisement
Wenger’s only victory against Jose Mourinho came in the 2015 Community Shield, with Arsenal winning just two Premier League games at Stamford Bridge between 2005 and 2020. The nadir for Arsenal came when they lost 6-0 at Chelsea in Wenger’s 1,000th game in charge.
Following Mikel Arteta’s appointment in 2019, and BlueCo taking over at Chelsea in 2022, the tables have turned again. Arteta has lost just twice in 16 meetings with Chelsea in all competitions, with the most recent defeat coming in 2021 when Romelu Lukaku was up against Pablo Mari and Rob Holding.
For Arsenal, this afternoon’s game is about the title race rather than bragging rights. Man City’s victory at Leeds cut the gap to two points with both clubs having played 28 games. Arsenal will have played a game more by close of play and their lead could be five points. Chelsea, Brighton away, Everton at home and Bournemouth at home are Arsenal’s fixtures before their game at the Etihad on April 18. At a minimum, you feel Arsenal need to keep the current state of play intact going into that match.
Chelsea are without Estevao and Marc Cucurella because of injury but Reece James, who missed both legs of the League Cup semi-final between these teams, is fit. Arteta has the chance to pick an unchanged team from the north London derby, where Eberechi Eze and Viktor Gyokeres shone, but he could have Kai Havertz back on the bench.

The Garden Coffee House can be found in Hexham, Northumberland and is known for being a “delightful” spot for lunch.
It’s situated on Hallgate and just some of the iconic toasty fillings on its menu, according to its Google profile, include the likes of BBQ pulled pork, honey ham, pesto and mozzarella, and kimchi cheese.
Hexham Restaurants shares: “The Garden Coffee House is quaint coffee house located just down from the old goal, in central Hexham.
“They serve legendary toasties with the most amazing cheese pull (If you know, you know!) & some slightly healthier options on their menu too! As well as a great range of drinks including matcha!”

Eve revealed: “It’s a little hidden gem nestled away in Hexham.”
The content creator added: “It just has the most stunning interior, everything that’s displayed on the counters, like the cakes, looked unreal.”
Eve shared that she tried the pistachio latte and it was “insane”.

@evesalwayseating_ continued: “Moving on to food, soup, salad and toastie is just a bit of a combo so we got the soup of the day which was like a herby broccoli one and we both got a toastie, just look at the cheese pull, this was sensational.”
After also trying a carrot cake, Eve said “not a crumb was left behind”.
Other customers have also raved about the cafe over on Tripadvisor, where it currently has a 4.7/5 rating.
This visitor wrote: “Highly recommend the garden cafe for a toastie when visiting Hexham. High quality toasties with a great cheese pull in nice quickly quaint surroundings. Nice staff.”

“The menu is carefully thought out with really delicious offerings; not your standard boring cafe food. I stuck with the ‘special’ Honey Whipped Ice Latte (so good it deserves its own 5 stars) and then I also had the Parma Ham, Fig and Pistachio loaded Sourdough. So tasty!
“Had a portion of chips on the side and they were the best fries I’ve had for a while. Well worth visiting this little gem of a place.”
The Garden Coffee House in Hexham is open seven days a week, 9am until 4pm Monday – Saturday and 10am until 4pm on a Sunday.

Pope Leo XIV has broken his silence following the attacks on Saturday

Pope Leo XIV has urged for “peace,” calling for world leaders to stop the “cycle of violence” following the Israeli-US missile strikes that led to the death of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Further retaliation strikes were launched by Iran with the Pope expressing “deep concern” in what he called a “tumultuous time”. The Express reports he added: “Stability and peace are not achieved through mutual threats, nor through the use of weapons, which sow destruction, suffering, and death, but only through reasonable, sincere, and responsible dialogue.

“Faced with the possibility of a tragedy of enormous proportions, I address to the parties involved a heartfelt appeal to assume the moral responsibility to stop the spiral of violence before it becomes an irreparable abyss!”
The Holy Father also prayed for nations during the weekly address at St. Peter’s Square and urged to revisit diplomatic solutions in order to secure peace.
“May diplomacy recover its role and may the good of peoples be promoted, peoples who long for peaceful coexistence founded on justice,’ he noted, ‘And let us continue to pray for peace.”
The first American-born pope has previously voiced concern over the Trump administration’s foreign policy, warning of a “zeal for war” following U.S. military operations in the Caribbean and the capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro.
His most recent comments come as tensions in the region sharply escalated following the joint U.S.–Israeli operation targeting Iranian leadership and military sites. Washington has defended the strikes as necessary for security, while Tehran has vowed retaliation, raising fears the conflict could spread across the wider Middle East.
The pontiff did not name any country directly but urged leaders to recognise the humanitarian consequences of further escalation. He warned that ordinary civilians would bear the heaviest cost if fighting continues.

Cristiano Ronaldo missed a penalty before leaving the pitch injured in Al Nassr’s 3-1 win over the weekend, and now their next match has been called off due to the ongoing air strikes
Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr have had their Asian Champions League Two quarter-final clash against Al-Wasl postponed due to ongoing tensions in the Middle East. It comes after US President Donald Trump launched an operation against Iran over the weekend.

Iran’s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, was killed by a US and Israeli air strike. The attacks have had a knock-on impact, with Iran responding with attacks on US and Israeli military bases in the Middle East.
That has led the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) to confirm the postponement of matches, including the Champions League round of 16 games scheduled for Monday and Tuesday. The Asian Champions League Two, quarter-finals which were due to take place on Tuesday and Wednesday, ahve also been postponed, with Al Nassr impacted.
The Saudi side were due to take on the United Arab Emirates club Al-Wasl in their quarter-final clash in Dubai. But that will now not go ahead, with a rescheduled date not yet confirmed.
In a statement, the AFCsaid: “In light of the developing situation in the Middle East, the Asian Football Confederation has confirmed that the AFC Champions League Elite 2025/26 Round of 16 first-leg matches in the West Region, originally scheduled for March 2-3, 2026, will now be rescheduled.
“Additionally, the AFC Champions League Two and AFC Challenge League quarter-final first-leg matches involving teams in the West Region, originally scheduled to be played between March 3 and 4, 2026, are also postponed until further notice.
“Matches involving clubs from the East Region across all of the AFC’s club competitions will proceed as originally scheduled.

“The AFC will continue to closely monitor this rapidly evolving situation and remains resolute in ensuring the safety and security of all players, teams, officials, and fans.”
It comes as Ronaldo, Al Nassr, and Portugal all sweat over his fitness after suffering an injury during the club’s 3-1 win over Al Fahya on Saturday. The forward signalled to the bench before being replaced in the 81st minute.
Following the match, Al Nassr boss Jorge Jesus gave an update on Ronaldo, who was spotted with an ice pack on the back of his knee. “Ronaldo suffered muscle fatigue, and the medical staff will urgently perform the necessary tests to determine his condition,” he told reporters.

Ronaldo’s withdrawal came after he missed a penalty earlier in the game. The match’s postponement could now give him more time to recover.
Games taking place in the East of the region, including Gamba Asaka vs Eatchaburi FC, Bangkok United vs Tampines Rovers, are due to go ahead as planned.

Lord of the Flies is coming to an end but the BBC has confirmed what will be taking its place in the Sunday night TV schedule.
Hayley Anderson TV Reporter

The Capture Series 3 | Official Trailer – BBC
As Lord of the Flies approaches its climactic conclusion, viewers are already pondering their next viewing choice.
Advertisement
The BBC‘s adaptation of William Golding’s seminal novel Lord of the Flies will draw to a close this evening, Sunday 1 March, bringing the first-ever television version to an end.
Following a catastrophic plane crash, 30 boys find themselves marooned on an uninhabited island, attempting to survive and maintain harmony amongst themselves.
However, troublemaker Jack (portrayed by Lox Pratt) has different plans, with the youngsters soon splitting into factions and becoming hostile towards one another.
With just one final episode remaining on BBC One, audiences are wondering what will occupy the Sunday evening slot in the broadcasting schedule.

Four years have elapsed since The Capture series two burst onto screens, but at last, the BBC has announced that the Holliday Grainger-fronted drama will return for a third series.
Launching on Sunday 8 March at 9pm, the six-episode thriller begins a year after Rachel Carey (portrayed by Holliday Grainger) transmitted a live deepfake of a government minister to the nation.

In doing so, she revealed Correction, the UK intelligence service’s covert video manipulation operation, and now faces the challenge of rebuilding public confidence.
The official synopsis further reads: “Amidst an inquiry into the unlawful use of Correction, Carey has become Acting Commander of Counter Terrorism Command, determined to regain the public’s trust in surveillance technology through the new Operation Veritas camera system.
“And then it happens: a brutal and exceptionally well-coordinated act of terror aimed right at the heart of the British establishment that leaves behind just one witness.

“The more Carey investigates, the deeper she is drawn into an unfolding geopolitical crisis that infects the British political establishment, the security services, and the media.
“The conspiracy reaches deep into the State, but just who is pulling the strings?”
As anticipated, Grainger reprises her role as Rachel Carey, with one of her other recent dramas, The Stolen Girl, currently airing on ITV on Wednesdays.

Grainger is once again accompanied by Black Mirror’s Paapa Essiedu as Isaac Turner, Obsession star Indira Varma as BBC News presenter Khadija Khan and The Forsyte Saga’s Ben Miles as Danny Hart.
Other returning cast members include Lia Williams as Gemma Garland, Ginny Holder as DI Nadia Latif and Ron Perlman as CIA Agent Frank Napier.
A host of new faces will also be introduced, such as Game of Thrones’ Joe Dempsie, Holby City’s Hugh Quarshie and Good Omens star Jonathan Aris.
Standing in for Lord of the Flies, The Capture’s third season will broadcast a fresh episode each Sunday evening leading up to its climactic finale, scheduled for Sunday, 12 April.

The Capture premieres on Sunday, March 8, at 9pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
Formerly known as the Screen Actors Guild Awards, the newly renamed Actor Awards are one of the most closely watched precursors. Actors make up the largest slice of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and their choices at the Actor Awards often align.
The ceremony, presented by the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, will be streamed live on Netflix beginning at 8 p.m. EST. Kristen Bell is hosting.
Paul Thomas Anderson’s “One Battle After Another” comes in the heavy favorite, having won at the Golden Globes, the BAFTAs and at Saturday’s Producers Guild Awards. The film comes in with a record seven nominations and is seen as the most likely winner of the night’s top award, best ensemble.

The four other nominees for best ensemble are: “Sinners,” “Hamnet,” “Marty Supreme” and “Frankenstein.” If Ryan Coogler’s “Sinners” upsets “One Battle After Another” on Sunday night, it would add a late dose of unpredictability to Oscars.
But many of the categories already feel up for grabs.
Timothée Chalamet, who last year won best male actor from the actors guild for “A Complete Unknown,” had been seen as the favorite for his performance in “Marty Supreme.” But the surprise winner at the BAFTAs, Robert Aramayo, showed how hard to pin down the category is. The other nominees are: Michael B. Jordan (“Sinners”), Leonardo DiCaprio (“One Battle After Another”), Ethan Hawke (“Blue Moon”) and Jesse Plemons (“Bugonia”).
If Chalamet wins, he’d be the first to win the award in back to back years.

Jessie Buckley is the favorite in the best female actor category. The other nominees are: Chase Infiniti (“One Battle After Another”), Rose Byrne (“If I Had Legs I’d Kick You”), Kate Hudson (“Song Sung Blue”) and Emma Stone (“Bugonia”).
The supporting awards are especially hard to predict. The best supporting female actor nominees are: Teyana Taylor (“One Battle After Another”), Wunmi Mosaku (“Sinners”), Ariana Grande (“Wicked: For Good”), Amy Madigan (“Weapons”) and Odessa A’zion (“Marty Supreme”). The male nominees are: Sean Penn (“One Battle After Another”), Benicio Del Toro (“One Battle After Another”), Miles Caton (“Sinners”), Jacob Elordi (“Frankenstein”) and Paul Mescal (“Hamnet”).
Harrison Ford will receive the SAG-AFTRA Life Achievement Award, which will be presented to him by Woody Harrelson.
