2 hours agoEmer MoreauPA MediaThe Prince of Wales has made a surprise appearance on the Graham Norton Show, as part of a special edition to mark the Earthshot Prize. During the episode, which airs on Friday, he joined Cate Blanchett, Robert Irwin and Hannah Waddingham, who are all involved with the prize. As Norton spoke about the initiative with the trio he surprised the audience by then inviting the prince out to join them on the sofa. They discussed the need to pair optimism and urgency when tackling climate change. The prize was founded by William to "celebrate and scale the solutions that will repair our planet". The guests also chatted about William's long-time support for Aston Villa, and his love of Christopher Nolan films. William set up the Earthshot Prize in 2020, drawing inspiration from US President John F Kennedy's Moonshot project, which challenged scientists to get astronauts to the Moon and back safely. There are five Earthshots, or goals, for which an award is given: Protect and Restore Nature, Clean Our Air, Revive Our Oceans, Build a Waste-Free World and Fix Our Climate. Each winner receives £1m. The future king has committed himself to the prize until 2030.

Key PointsGraham Norton teases mystery "big star" at Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding. The host would only say "he" had yet to be a guest on his BBC talk show. "I don't think I've seen their name anywhere," said Graham, who also admitted to being "quite drunk. "There were hundreds of celebrities at Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding, but one A-list attendee might still be a mystery to the public. Graham Norton dished about the $30 million event while chatting on the Wanging On With Graham Norton and Maria McErlane podcast, and revealed he got the opportunity to chat with "one big star" who also happens to be his "white whale. ""But I can't tell you who it was," the talk show host teased Maria McErlane. "Because I would have to tell you that they were at the wedding, and I don't think I've seen their name anywhere. So I'm not sure if people know they were at the wedding. "Norton did offer two clues: The mystery star is a male and he's yet to be a guest on his talk show, which has aired on the BBC since 2007. "I'll give you that," he told McErlane.

THE PERFORMANCE | We could've chosen any episode of "Crystal Lake" to celebrate Linda Cardellini's excellent, refined, and at times, terrifying performance, but it was the season finale of Peacock's "Friday the 13th" prequel that really had our blood pumping. The "Dead to Me" vet plays Pamela Voorhees, a mother on the run from a dark past whose child drowns and goes missing. And it's that traumatic event that triggers Mom to spiral as she slowly slips into insanity and turns into a monster. In Episode 8, Cardellini continued to tear out our hearts and scare the bejeezus out of us in one fell swoop. The actress first showed Pam's vulnerable side early in the hour, after the character revealed the chaos she had fled. Cardellini's eyes filled with fear after sharing the story of her husband Elias' evil ways and admitting to (some of) the murders she had committed.
