How did The Celebrity Traitors become British television’s most unmissable series? This week’s finale looks set to break records - one in four UK adults tuned in for the launch.

After 40 years, MTV is shutting down nearly all its UK channels. Once the gateway to pop fame, the music video may seem obsolete in the streaming era - yet Rosalia’s latest release, Berghain, is blowing up. So, is 2025 the death of the pop music video or its rebirth?

Jacqueline Wilson was the author who carried millennial women from childhood into adolescence. Her books didn’t shy away from tough subjects like depression, abuse and grooming. Now, as she releases Perfect Imperfect, the long-awaited follow-up to her 1997 classic The Illustrated Mum, Liv and Miranda discuss how she mainstreamed taking girlhood seriously.

It’s been a wild week in the art world: a heist at the Louvre, A-listers swanning through a British Museum ball trying to outshine the Met Gala, and the Frieze Art Fair came to London. But behind the Chanel and champagne lies one big question: why does a multi-billion-pound industry have a money problem?

This week, Netflix released a three-part series on Victoria Beckham’s evolution from Spice Girl to fashion designer. Produced by David Beckham’s company, it joins a growing list of self-made celeb docs - from Harry & Meghan to Beyoncé, Pamela Anderson, and Robbie Williams.

London and Paris Fashion Weeks sparked online outrage - with models walking in metal mouth braces, bound arms, bodysuits printed with male genitalia, and trad-wife-style aprons. With major houses like Chanel, Dior, Gucci, and Balenciaga now mostly led by men, Liv and Miranda ask The Observer’s Jo Jones what’s gone wrong.

Taylor Swift’s new, record-breaking album The Life of a Showgirl is dividing a once-faithful fandom. Following the success of the epic Eras tour, Swifties are breaking cover to critique the star for the first time - particularly over one song which seems to pick a fight with Charli XCX.

Two major London clubs, G-A-Y and Corsica, announced their closure this week, marking another blow to the city’s nightlife. Miranda came of age in the 1990s Manchester club scene; Liv did the same in South London in the 2010s. At this rate, traditional clubs it looks like could disappear entirely by the end of the decade. What happens if clubbing culture goes extinct?

Liv and Miranda love to share their recommendations, here’s what’s on their radar this week:

Miranda:

• Section 63 - Yushy
• Free Party: A Folk History (documentary)

Liv:

• Jewel’s Catch One (documentary)
• Curse of: America’s Next Top Model (podcast series)

Former Little Mix star Jade Thirlwall has just dropped her debut solo album and it’s already reached number three in the charts. For decades, women leaving girl groups have struggled to replicate their success on their own. Has JADE finally broken the curse?

Liv and Miranda love to share their recommendations, here’s what’s on their radar this week:

Miranda’s recommendation - You Had to be There by Jodie Harsh
