The TV BAFTA nominations have been announced ahead of the ceremony on May 12.

The sixth series of royal drama The Crown has received eight nominations across the board, after the concluding series focused on the death of Princess Diana.

Black Mirror has received seven nominations for the episode Demon 79, the fifth episode of the sixth season of the dystopian reality series.

The episode centers on a meek saleswoman who is told she must commit terrible acts to prevent a disaster in northern England in 1979.

Meanwhile, Happy Valley, Slow Horses and The Sixth Commandment each received six nods after being warmly received by fans and critics alike.

The stars in the running for the lead actress include Anjana Vasan for Black Mirror, Anne Reid in The Sixth Commandment and Bella Ramsey for The Last Of Us.

Also nominated in the category are Helena Bonham Carter for Nolly, Sarah Lancashire for Happy Valley and Sharon Horgan for her role in Best Interests.

In the Leading Actor category, Brian Cox is nominated for Succession, Dominic West for The Crown and Kane Robinson for Top Boy.

Also in the running are Paapa Essiedu for The Lazarus, Steve Coogan for The Reckoning and Timothy Spall for The Sixth Commandment.

Coogan’s nod comes after a wave of controversy over his role as pedophile Jimmy Savile, which aired on the BBC last year despite claims it was axed.

His portrayal of the depraved presenter was described as ‘scarily good’, but the series led to criticism for turning the harrowing events into entertainment.

In the daytime TV category, Loose Women, Lorraine, Make It Market and Scam Interceptors have all been nominated.

However, This Morning was axed after a turbulent year for the show which saw both regular presenters Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby leave.

The show saw a rotation of shows holding down the fort as bosses looked for new permanent hosts, who were recently revealed as Cat Deeley and Ben Shepherd.

In terms of best drama series, The Gold, Happy Valley and Slow Horses are all nominated alongside Top Boy.

While in the Entertainment Series category, Hannah Waddingham: Home For Christmas and Later… With Jools Holland are among those nominations.

Michael McIntyre’s Big Show and Strictly Come Dancing are also shortlisted.

17 of the 44 nominees in the performance categories have received their first BAFTA TV Awards nomination, including Amit Shah, Bella Ramsey and Bridget Christie.

This list also includes David Tennant, Éanna Harwicke, Elizabeth Debicki, Hammed Animashaun, Hannah Waddingham, Harriet Walters, Harris Dickinson and Kane Robinson.

Jesse Lally and woman Michelle Lally previously divorced The valley premiered on Bravo – but the hints were there throughout the first season of the Vanderpump Rules spinoff.

The couple’s introduction to the show immediately set the tone for their ups and downs as they bickered about laundry on screen. During the premiere episode – and beyond – Jesse and Michelle were surprisingly open about their problems.

Before you become a member The valley, Jesse and Michelle got engaged in November 2017 after several years of dating. They tied the knot a year later at California’s Beaulieu Garden and then expanded their family with the arrival of daughter Isabella in 2020.

The pair formed a friendship with Vanderpump Rules alum Jax Taylor And Brittany Cartwrightand so they ended up as cast members of the spin-off.

“There’s a major storyline about our lives where I spend the entire summer trying to work on myself to be the best version of myself,” Jesse shared exclusively We weekly in March 2024, days before The valley premiered. “And if the best version of myself matched the best version of herself, our marriage would survive. People evolve. If your marriage and relationship don’t evolve, it will never work, no matter how much you want it to.”

Michelle, meanwhile, noted that there have been a lot of changes since they filmed the series.

“People said, ‘When you watch the show you realize what you guys are really like,’ because when you’re in it you don’t really know,” she said in a separate interview with Us at the time. “When I step back and look at myself, I think, ‘Oh wow. It’s clear we’re having marital problems.”

She continued: “I want fans to know how real we were. We are very authentic. We haven’t faked anything and we’ve said that if we’re going to do reality TV, we’re really going to open up our lives – the positive and the negative.”

After the duo noticeably didn’t walk the red carpet together The valley premiere party, Us confirmed that Jesse and Michelle split after almost six years of marriage.

Keep scrolling to see the signs The valley that pointed to Jesse and Michelle’s decision — and check back weekly for more moments that stood out before their divorce:

The valley airs on Bravo Tuesdays at 9pm ET and will be available to stream on Peacock the following day.

Awkward introduction

During their first confessional together, Michelle was asked what words she would use to describe Jesse.

“I’ll have to think about that,” she said before Jesse suggested “loving” and “sexy” as options. Michelle paused after the first word and laughed off her husband’s second suggestion.

The tension did not diminish when Michelle and Jesse talked about their daughter. “She loves her dad so much,” Michelle noted, while Jesse added, “She loves me more.”

Michelle also shared that Jesse didn’t seem to favor her, saying, “I don’t think he’s ever had a picture of me on his phone as a screensaver.” The dog and the baby [are his choices].”

In response, Jesse told his side of the story. “We work together, I have to watch you all day,” he noted. “Why do I have to open my phone and have a picture of you on it?”

Not on the same page

In the first images of Michelle and Jesse at their home, the pair did not appear to have the same views. Jesse randomly popped open a bottle of champagne during the day, which Michelle wasn’t happy about.

“No, we’re not on vacation,” she said after Jesse offered her a glass. “So what are you going to do? Drink champagne all day?

After Jesse replied that he would drink “a little,” Michelle looked at him doubtfully.

The transition to parenthood

Michelle and Jesse both acknowledged how having their daughter changed their dynamic. While talking to Brittany and Nia BookoMichelle recalled that Jesse didn’t contribute much when she welcomed their first child.

“Jesse never woke up. “I slept separately with Isabella for a year,” she said. “It takes someone one of a kind to handle him.”

Later in the premiere, Jesse confirmed that he wasn’t as present when they became parents.

“It is difficult to determine exactly what we fought about. It’s little things,” he said in a solo confessional. “We moved from the fun honeymoon phase when the baby came because she was evolving as a mother and I wasn’t quite evolving as a father. That is exactly where we are now.”

Discussing the idea of ​​separation

During the March 2024 premiere, Michelle discussed what she regretted not doing after she started dating Jesse.

“I always tell people, I’ve been working with Jesse for eight years and it’s funny because we didn’t even ask basic questions [about marriage and kids,” she told Kristen Doute. “From my experience, you want to have those talks.”

Meanwhile, Jesse spoke with Jax about the problems in his marriage.

“I don’t think Michelle has been super happy in the past 24 hours. It has not been good,” he admitted. “The conversations [about separation] have had. … I do not want that. She brought it up.”

Surprising interactions with other women

While at a party with the rest of the cast, Kristen and Jesse jokingly bickered back and forth. Kristen started twisting his nipple, which Jesse tried to return to her.

“Are you kidding me? I’m so close to Jesse’s wife, Michelle, but I’m not nearly as close as Jesse Lally is anywhere near my boobs,” she told the cameras. “I just put up with Jesse because he’s Michelle’s husband, that’s what you have to do sometimes.’

Jesse also shocked Michelle when he joked about it Lala Kentsaying, ‘I will let my wife choose, and I will let my mistress choose [Lala] choose too. Sorry, I want to be more cultured – my side piece.”

Kristen Dout is doing her best, everyone.

The Vanderpump Rules alum, aka Crazy Kristen, will appear Vanderpomp spinoff The valley, and you can expect some chaos to ensue. Speak at The valley premiere party at Jax’s Studio City, she teased what to expect.

“I will say that I’m not perfect and that I’m human, and there are some crazy Kristen moments,” she shared exclusively We weekly on Thursday, March 14. “She came with me and I tried to send her home and she just wanted to hang up.”

Kristen, 41, and costar Stassi Schroeder were fired Vanderpump Rules in 2020 after cast member Believe Stowers, a black woman, revealed that the two reported her for a crime she did not commit. Kristen briefly returned to the show in 2023.

She has since started dating Lucas Broderick after meeting him at a mutual friend’s wedding. Kristen credits Luke, who is also her podcast cohost “Sex, Love and What Else Matters,” with helping her filter her thoughts as she works to be less reactive.

“I don’t have to say everything right now,” she said Us on Thursday. ‘Lucas teaches me to hold those thoughts and debate them when I have to say them out loud. And maybe don’t go into everyone’s relationships and marriages because I don’t know them.

She expanded her relationship with Luke, who will also be featured The valley.

“I loved connecting with someone from the Midwest who has the best head on his shoulders and isn’t afraid to communicate how he feels, but is also very gentle and celebrates my weird quirkiness,” she said.

Kristen also had a lot to say about Stassi, who won’t be a part of it The valley after she and husband Beau Clark had a fight with Jax Taylor And Brittany Cartwright.

“Stassi is great television. She’s obviously so good at it, but it’s just not where she is in her life right now,” Kristen said. ‘I think she made that quite clear in the press as well. She loves her bubble now. She works and does so well for herself and her family.”

While talking about keeping “Crazy Kristen” at bay, she finished with a quick little jab at her The valley Co-star.

“Jax could take a page out of my book,” she joked.

The valley premieres on Bravo Tuesday, March 19, following a new episode of Vanderpump Rules and will stream on Peacock the next day. Starting Tuesday, March 26, the series will move to its regular 9:00 PM ET timeslot.

With reporting by Mike Vulpo

Bravo has resumed filming the upcoming movie Vanderpump Rules spinoff The valley to capture the recent news of Jax Taylor And Brittany Cartwright‘s divorce.

“We picked up cameras,” Cartwright, 35, confirmed on the Friday, March 8, episode of the “When reality hits“podcast. “We filmed The valley in July, August and September, so we wrapped September. We got picked up again to let everyone know what was going on with our lives for a few days.

Cartwright asked fans to keep the show’s filming schedule in mind while watching and remember that “a lot has changed since we wrapped the show.”

Last month, Cartwright announced on her joint podcast with Taylor, 44, that her marriage was on the rocks.

“Marriages are very difficult and I have had a particularly difficult year,” she said on February 29. “Jax and I are taking some time apart and I have made the decision to move to another house to take some space for the sake of my mental health. I won’t go into too much detail now because this is still very difficult to talk about.

Cartwright – who shares two-year-old son Cruz with Taylor – also dropped her husband’s last name from social media after discussing her relationship status.

For Taylor, he called the evolving status with his wife “fresh and new.”

“It’s not malice or nastiness,” he said Page six on February 29. ‘They are just two people with whom you are now reaching the ten-year mark in their marriage. We spend some time together and try to reassess our situation. “We have a child involved and we just want to do what’s best for our child.”

The romance between Taylor and Cartwright played out for the first time Vanderpump Rules in 2015. The couple eventually had their wedding filmed for the series before leaving the show in 2020.

But this month, viewers can thanks The valley. The series follows a group of close friends who trade bottle service in West Hollywood for baby bottles in the Valley, as they navigate corporations, rocky relationships and testy friendships.

In her latest podcast episode, Cartwright said she’s still looking forward to the show’s premiere, even though her marriage has evolved since filming initially wrapped.

“We are still so excited,” she said. “It’s going to be such a good show. There are so many positive things we experience. There is a lot of drama.”

For those still wondering if Cartwright and Taylor’s relationship problems are just a publicity stunt, both reality stars had a message for the skeptics.

“This is our real life,” Cartwright said. ‘I would never uproot my child if it wasn’t for the best and if we didn’t have to work it out together. It’s not a publicity stunt.”

Taylor added: “It’s important for us to be honest with our fans… It’s exactly the right thing to do.”

The valley debuts Tuesday, March 19 on Bravo at 9pm ET. Episodes can be streamed the next day on Peacock.

A mother has expressed her heartache after her 22-year-old daughter killed herself during an intense meditation retreat.

Nathalie, from Ontario, Canada, told the Financial Times’ podcast, The Retreat, how her daughter Jaqui checked into a 10-day Goenka retreat in Merritt – but the ‘free spirit’ left early and took her own life.

The podcast examines the world of the Goenka network, which promotes a type of intensive meditation known as Vipassana, which sees people meditate for 10 to 11 hours a day over 10 days, in silence.

Some people who have been to the retreats referred to them as ‘like a voluntary prison sentence’ and accused the teachers of ‘exhibiting irresponsible behaviour, bordering on malpractice.’

Podcast host Madison Marriage says she has been receiving emails from desperate families who are looking to highlight the dangers of the meditation group by sharing the harrowing stories of their children, who suffered from hallucinations and psychosis afterwards.

The FT explained: ‘Thousands of people go on Goenka retreats every year to learn Vipassana meditation. 

‘High-flying tech moguls in Silicon Valley rave about it. Getting a place on one is like getting Glastonbury tickets: they’re coveted. 

‘But some who go to these retreats suffer. They might feel a deep sense of terror, or a break with reality – and afterwards, they’re not themselves anymore.’ 

Host Madison added: ‘I found out that although most participants leave the retreats feeling okay, and some even feel euphoric, lots of people have experienced sheer terror during Goenka retreats around the world.’

Jaqui appeared to be a free spirit, she wanted to be an artist and had converted her van into a miniature house on wheels to travel around the country. 

The 22-year-old would post updates about her van life on Facebook and she found work planting trees on a farm in British Columbia in the spring of 2022. 

While there, Jaqui, who wasn’t new to meditation, decided to sign up to do the 10-day silent meditation retreat in Merritt. 

Her mother said: ‘She was a very spiritual person. She had been meditating daily, I would say, for a couple of years, she found it really helped her, just calm her.’

During the application process for the retreat, Jaqui had to complete a questionnaire probing her mental health.

In emails with the retreat Jaqui’s admitted that she had contemplated suicide seven years earlier when she was 14 years old.

She added: ‘I have not had any issues with suicidal thoughts in seven years. No considerations and absolutely no action.’ 

When she showed up at the centre, the volunteers that checked her in took her phone and the keys to her van. 

Jaqui embarked on 10 hours of daytime meditation starting at 4 am, with no dinner, talking or eye contact, and she watched old tapes of Goenka’s teachings at night. 

Nine days into the retreat, Nathalie received a phone call from the retreat staff to say Jaqui ‘left the course during the night’ and they weren’t able to locate her. 

Nathalie tried messaging and calling Jaqui that day but couldn’t get through and the following day she called the Royal Canadian Mounted Police to file a missing person’s report. 

However Nathalie became alarmed when the retreat staff admitted that Jaqui had an emotional few days at the centre before her disappearance. 

She said: ‘The office admin person who had reached out to us got the assistant teacher on the phone with us, and all he basically said was she had a difficult day, she was crying.

‘She was obviously struggling. And so we said, “so you sent her to bed?” And he said something along the lines of, ”well, we were going to work on it tomorrow.”’

Nathalie knew something was wrong when police found Jaqui’s van, abandoned on the side of the road, 50km from the Goenka centre, but she wasn’t inside. 

Over the next week, an intensive search party with volunteers, friends and family was launched to find Jaqui, searching miles of woodland.

On the eighth day of the search police let the family know that they had found Jaqui’s body. 

Nathalie said: ‘It was just inconceivable. It was just unbelievable. And, I remember I fell to the ground. Uh, it was awful.’ 

During their investigation the police found that Jaqui left the centre between 9pm and 8am the next morning. She drove away in her van until it apparently ran out of petrol.

The police report claimed that staff at the retreat stated Jaqui was having a difficult time with classes.

It read: ‘She was having constant emotional episodes. Episodes were not uncommon. The ongoing nature of them was unusual. 

‘Jaqueline appeared ashamed of something she had previously done, but did not disclose what it was. Jaqueline did not show signs of suicidal ideation or self-harm though.’

Members of the public reported seeing a woman by a lake, 15km from where Jaqui’s van was abandoned.

The coroner determined the date of Jaqui’s death as October 2, 2022. 

Nathalie feels if the centre had flagged Jacqui’s distressed state sooner then it might have been possible to help her in time. 

She said: ‘She wasn’t just struggling the day that this happened. She had actually been struggling for days, and they even said to the RCMP that it wasn’t unusual for someone to struggle. 

‘It was unusual for someone to continually struggle for days. I had no idea the severity, of the possible severity, of the state that she might be in.’

Jaqui’s parents believe that the centre should have alerted the police and that Jaqui should not have been allowed to drive away in her van.

The retreats own website states participants will not have access to their vehicle for the duration of the course.

Natalie said: ‘Somehow she had her keys. And if your policy is to have people hand in their keys, there’s a reason for it. So enforce that policy.’     

This troubling experience is much more widespread than Jaqui as others have also experienced mental breaks while meditating, including twin sisters.

In the first episode host Madison received an email from a desperate father, whose daughters Emily and Sarah (not their real names), had spiralled into despair after getting involved in the meditation retreats.

Episode one followed Emily, a high-achieving Oxford student, who went on a series of retreats after taking a year out of her studies to ‘breath and travel’. 

After learning a lot about meditation while travelling around India, the student signed up to her first Goenka retreat once she returned home, at a centre close to her parents’ home in Herefordshire.

Speaking on the podcast Emily said: ‘The first night they tell you, “you should surrender to the whole process”. 

‘They say it’s like an operation of your mind. If you leave in the middle of it, it’s dangerous. It’s like leaving during an operation which is in the process of happening when you’re cut open.’

Even though she thought about leaving initially, she stayed and after day one she stopped being able to sleep, despite never having any sleep issues previously. 

The sleeplessness aside, she felt it had done her some good and she eventually signed up to volunteer at another retreat, however she said this one did something different to her mind. 

She said: ‘It really started to f*** me up, so I’d stopped sleeping. So I’d have major emotional, like big emotional reactions to things. And then I would have like lucid dreams, almost hallucinatory dreams, which I never had before. 

‘But the whole narrative that was like, ‘Oh, it’s good, you know, that’s what we’re here for. You’re feeling anxious or upset or anguished, it’s part of the process.”

Emily said she no longer was able to focus or think rationally, eventually she dropped out of university and started travelling alone, meditating for several hours a day as it was what the Goenka course recommended. 

She said: ‘My brain was like, falling apart and I wasn’t sleeping, and I didn’t know what the hell was going on. I was kind of, like, slightly tripping the whole time.’

When Emily returned home her parents said she was ‘stick thin’ and she had looked like an ‘old woman’ but she refused to see a doctor. 

Emily’s dad Stephen said: ‘She was there physically and she could talk. But it was as if her personality had been removed.’

Emily’s mother Kate and Stephen started to look for ways to help their daughter and they called the Cult Information Centre, who told them that ‘psychosis can be brought on by meditation’ and they needed to get specialist help.

They contacted Graham Baldwin, the director of Catalyst, which is a charity that helps families and individuals who have been damaged by abusive relationships and groups.

He told the family that it sounded like their daughter was in a state of psychosis from too much meditation and they needed to get her to stop meditating right away.

After six weeks Emily started to act and feel better, she started coming back in touch with reality, but she still wasn’t able to function properly in society. 

Unbelievably, Emily’s twin sister, Sarah, started to get into meditation around this time and became hooked on the same form of Vipassana meditation taught by Goenka.

After university Sarah was feeling a little lost and she was also struggling to find a cure for a debilitating nerve pain in her arms.

Emily, recommended going to a Goenka retreat as she thought meditation would help her sister. 

Sarah decided to go to a retreat centre in Herefordshire which initially actually helped her symptoms and made her feel incredible.

She said: ‘I remember finding it quite incredible what would happen if you observe, like if you stay that concentrated for a long time. It kind of felt like my mind was becoming very clear, very sharp, and I felt like I was getting into a state of mind that’s quite above ordinary.

‘It’s basically like a sober psychedelic experience. It’s very, very mentally altering. It was as if I’d taken psychedelic drugs for 10 days.’

Her nerve pain also completely disappeared and she said it felt like she had ‘cleaned her body.’

By the fourth day, Sarah felt overwhelmed by emotion and she broke down crying, however she was advised to stay at the retreat to finish the 10 day program. 

She said: ‘I felt like I kind of went to a different planet. I don’t know if that makes sense. I kind of felt like I could see through all the problems in the world and I just felt like my mind had been so transformed.’

However this also meant that she viewed her family in a new light and she was convinced they were ‘bad’.

She said: ‘Afterwards basically, I felt like I didn’t trust my family or I was always kind of convinced that they were like bad and that this was the way to be good and it kind of made me feel like… very euphoric, but also very at odds with everything in my life.’

Sarah eventually signed up for three more retreats , even flying to France for one of them, and eventually she became a volunteer at the Goenka retreats.

She said: ‘Once I’d started the whole thing, I felt like I couldn’t really function without it. I honestly just felt like I had to keep doing it.

‘They say that you’re becoming more independent, and more self-sufficient by practising meditation.

‘But actually the opposite is true. And I think it’s like anything that’s very mentally altering, it has the potential to become addictive.’

Sarah started struggling to sleep, sometimes only getting two hours a night, and after three years of meditation she broke down.

She said: ‘Felt like, um, something in my kind of psychological structure had been really just broken and really damaged.

‘I basically felt like I didn’t actually have any of my own trauma to surface, and it was kind of all this like trauma was surfacing from, I can only think of it as like from other lifetimes.

‘I felt like I was in a war zone, or I was like witnessing someone being raped, or I was like a perpetrator, and I was like, killing people. And that was kind of what was going on in my brain. It was horrible.’

Sarah began to spiral out of control and after six months of feeling this way she was in ‘full blown psychosis’. 

‘Basically, I was, like, hallucinating for like, probably three weeks straight, and I was convinced that I was like going to go to hell, and going to go to these places where all this, like, torture. And I was actually convinced at one point that I was going to die.’ 

Sarah’s mother Kate said she was living in fear that her daughter would take her own life and she hid all the medication in the house.

Herself and her Stephen slept in shifts to make sure one of them could keep an eye on Sarah at all times.

Kate said: ‘It was horrific. She would be wracked by these terrible sobbing fits. We’d try and take her out for a walk to try and relax her. She’d suddenly be convulsed with crying fits and be immobile.

‘She was so sick, she was making awful, awful noises, like growling, shrieking. Animal guttural noises and just screams.’

Eventually a local doctor put Sarah on a combination of medications that helped her to sleep and after years of sleep deprivation they began to slowly help Sarah.

She started sleeping for 12 hours a night and she also stopped medication, but her cognitive function seemed slower. 

Sarah noticed she was struggling to do things that had previously been easy and her mother said she still worries desperately about Sarah’s mental wellbeing.

Kate added: ‘Sometimes she’s fine. Sometimes I see the girl I used to know in her. And then suddenly she crumples and she’s this little vulnerable, lost person.’ 

Host Madison contacted the people running the Vipassanā meditation in Merritt, Canada, that Jaqui attended, Jenny and Bob Jeffs, but they said they were ‘bound by rules regarding student confidentiality.’

They added: ‘Although the experience of hundreds of thousands of people who have successfully completed retreats since the early 1970’s is overwhelming positive, these courses are not for everyone. We take the safety and well-being of every student in our care extremely seriously.’

Bob said the centre ‘examines the suitability of applicants’ before retreats and tries to ‘dissuade people who aren’t ready’, saying they regularly review their processes to create a safe experience for all attendees and teacher training is continually improved.
