Uh oh. Good morning angels, I'm Ash London and we've got a cracking mix today. A big Harry Potter casting update. Martha Stewart being Martha Stewart with a beloved off-campus star in a Starbucks commercial. A significant local story, a charming love story, and a patched Sussex update with two major developments in the last 24 hours. So my darlings, let's spill some tea. First up, Nicholas Holt, announced as Gilderoy Lockhart in HBO's Harry Potter series just two weeks ago, has dropped out due to scheduling conflicts, most likely with his commitment to reprise Lex Luther in the upcoming Superman sequel Man of Tomorrow. His replacement is Kit Harrington, who's actually not a stranger to the role at all.

He previously voiced Lockhart in Audibles Harry Potter, the full cast audio editions in 2025. And said at the time, I think there's a little bit of Gildero Lockhart in all of us. HBO confirmed the news with the most understated Instagram message imaginable. It simply said, before we begin year two at Hogwarts, there's been a slight change due to schedule. Some observers have noted that Holt received significant fan backlash over the show's connection to JK Rowling and the timing of his exit 13 days after the casting has raised eyebrows. Whether it was purely logistical, we simply don't know, but what we do know is that Jon Snow is now joining Hogwarts and will get the seed all from Christmas. Starbucks has launched its annual pumpkin spice latte campaign.

PSL is back from today in the US, and the ad stars Belmont Camelli from off campus, and the one and only Martha Stewart, who is 84, doing the absolute most. So he's his usual charming, impossibly handsome self. She plays the Queen of Fall. He flirts, she's delightfully cheeky in response.

She was found parked at a Queensland McDonald's for several hours. A passerby alerted authorities and she was charged. In a statement to the Daily Mail, Skye said she's considering professional help and described the experience as a wake-up call. She has two young children and has not. contested charge. Stick around, Jimmy Kimmel's wife reveals the most charming origin story.

Welcome back to your morning tea. Jimmy Kimmel and his wife Molly McMackine, that's hard to say, appeared on Armchair Expert with Dak Shepherd, and Molly shared the story of how their romance began. It's very, very sweet. So she was head writer on his show and she recalled thinking it was a terrible idea to date her boss. So the big question, how did Jimmy t change her mind? Well, take a listen.
Molly McNearney 4:00
I think it was like eight years into maybe me working there. And that long.

How did Jimmy Kimmel’s wife describe the origin of their romance?

Molly McNearney 4:04
Yeah, it was a long time. Oh my god. And I remember at the time I was one of the head writers, and at one of our writers' meetings, someone asked, Oh, cousin Sal said, If you only have five foods the rest of your life, what are they? And we all went around the table and said them. And I just rattled off. I remember I said pizza and gnocchi, crab claws, BLT, and chocolate chip cookies.
