Killing Eve is coming back with a fourth and final season and we've got the trailer.

For those who aren't aware, Killing Eve is a cat and mouse series involving an MI5 security officer (Eve) and a killer for hire (Villanelle).

 

 

You might recognise Sandra Oh (Eve) from Greys Anatomy and no doubt seen Jodie Comer (Villanelle) in Free Guy.

To keep this as spoiler-free as possible, it looks like the key players from the series are back.

 

 

The hunt is back on once again with no doubt some twists along the way.

Being the Final Chapter, it's got us wondering How it's going to end?

Killing Eve Seasons 1 to 3 are streaming on Stan right now and more than likely will have Season 4.

The Final Season starts in the US on the 27th of February.

Attention Nutella fanatics, this is for you! Saturday 5th Feb marks World Nutella Day and we've got you covered.

This Saturday, 5th February is officially World Nutella Day and marks the heavenly day when hazelnuts and chocolate collide.

This delicious brainchild of Nutella enthusiast and blogger Sara Rosso was created in 2007, and has since been celebrated by millions worldwide. 

This year, our very own Claire Holt (famous for H20: Just Add Water, The Vampire Diaries and Pretty Little Liars) is partnering with Nutella for the occasion - jealous, right? - and shares our adoration for the spectacular spread:

“Nutella has always been one of my favorite spreads since I was a child."

“A jar of Nutella never lasted long between me and my 3 siblings! Creating those same special memories for my kids is so important, even if it is as simple as making pancakes with Nutella on a Saturday morning.”

To properly celebrate World Nutella Day, why not don your apron and hit the kitchen to try one (or both) of these Nutella-infused recipes?

Aussie Mango Pancake Skewers with NUTELLA®

Aussie_Mango_Pancake_Skewers_with_Nutella.jpg

Difficulty: ⅓
Time: 30mins
Serves: 12

Ingredients:

  • 2⁄3 cup plain flour
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 ¼ cups milk
  • olive oil spray

To serve:

  • 15g (1 tbsp) Nutella® per skewer
  • 1 Australian mango, chopped into 2cm cubes

Method:

  1. In a bowl, sift the flour and a pinch of salt. Create a well in the centre with the back of a spoon, and then break in the egg and pour in half the milk. Whisk together, gradually adding the flour to make a smooth thick batter. Mix thoroughly to remove any lumps, and then stir in the rest of the milk.
  1. Spray a little oil over a medium frying pan. Pour about 2 tablespoons of batter into the pan, moving and tilting the pan as you pour until the batter thinly coats the base. Cook over  moderate heat until golden brown on the underside, for approximately 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  1. Flip the pancake over with a spatula, and cook the other side until it is golden brown. Slide the pancake out of the pan onto a plate. Heat a little more oil and cook the remaining pancakes one at a time in the same way. Keep in a warm oven until ready to serve.
  1. Spread a thin layer of Nutella® over the pancake and roll tightly. Cut the pancake into 3cm pieces and place onto a bamboo skewer followed by a square of the mango. Repeat this process until the skewer is full, and then serve immediately to your crowd!

Tasty Tip: If Aussie mangoes aren’t in season, these skewers are just as delicious with bananas, cut into rounds, or any of your favourite fruits.

Difficulty: ⅓
Time: 20mins

Ingredients:

  • 250g low-fat ricotta
  • 1⁄2 cup skim milk (or full cream for a denser pancake)
  • 3 eggs, separated into whites and yolks
  • 3⁄4 cup plain flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • pinch of salt
  • olive oil spray
  • 200g strawberries, hulled and thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp caster sugar

To serve:

  • 15g (1 tbsp) Nutella® per pancake
  • fresh strawberries (optional)

Method:

  1. To make these yummy pancakes, in a bowl mix the ricotta, milk and egg yolks. Sift in the flour, baking powder and salt. Now combine until you have a smooth batter. In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gently fold into the ricotta mixture.
  2. Place 2 tablespoons of batter into a preheated and oil greased pan. Cook until golden, 1–2 minutes, then flip to the other side and cook evenly. Remove from pan and keep in a warm oven until ready to serve. Repeat this process with remaining batter.
  3. To make the strawberry sauce, in a small saucepan, combine the strawberries and sugar and gently stir for 3–4 minutes until a saucy syrup forms.
  4. To serve, spread Nutella® onto each pancake and drizzle the deliciously warm strawberry sauce over the top. You can also add some sliced fresh strawberries for extra decoration!

Australian talent manager and musician Glenn Wheatley has died at the age of 74. It is understood that the music promoter was ill due to contracting coronavirus and passed away due to complications in Melbourne on Tuesday, 1st of February 2022.

Born on January 23rd 1948, Wheatley started as a musician in Brisbane, as a part of the rock band “The Master Apprentices.” He joined the group as bass guitarist in 1968 and produced hit singles “Turn Up Your Radio” and “Because I Love You” before the band stopped in 1972.

The music industry figure is known for managing "The Little River Band", launching John Farnham’s career and managing Delta Goodrem. In the 1980s, Wheatley mortgaged his home to help raise funds for the recording of Farnham's number one album, “Whispering Jack” which produced the iconic anthem, “You’re the Voice.”

Also known as a radio pioneer, he set up the first commercial FM station in Australia.

In 2007, Wheatley was sentenced to 15 months in prison for tax evasion. He pleaded guilty to avoiding paying tax between 1994-2003 and spent 10 months in jail and the rest of his sentence was served in home detention with electronic surveillance.

"The Master Apprentices" posted a tribute to Wheatley, saying they were deeply saddened by the passing of Glenn. "We are deeply saddened by the passing of Glenn Wheatley..."

John Farnham also took to social media to share his grief writing, "Devastating news… there are no words, our hearts are broken. Our love and thoughts to all who loved Glenn, especially his family... he was one of a kind, special to so many …#glennwheatley".

He was married to actress Gaynor Martin and had three children, Tim, Samantha and Kara.
