Damian Hurley shared his thoughts on Elizabeth Hurley's boyfriend, Billy Ray Cyrus, saying that the country star is "very sweet"

The 23-year-old added that Cyrus' six kids "are very, very sweet"

Elizabeth and Cyrus made their relationship public in April 2025

Damian Hurley is giving his stamp of approval for his mom Elizabeth Hurley's boyfriend, Billy Ray Cyrus.

In an interview with The Standard published on Thursday, Feb. 19, Damian, 23, said that Cyrus, 64, was "a very sweet boyfriend who I adore."

The English actor and model — who is the son of Elizabeth and the late American film producer Steve Bing — added that Cyrus' six kids "are very, very sweet."

Cyrus shares Miley, 33, Braison, 31, and Noah, 26, with ex-wife Tish Cyrus. He also adopted Tish's two children, Brandi, 38, and Trace, 36, and shares son Christopher Cody, 33, with Kristen Luckey, whom he dated before meeting Tish.

Damian also said that he finds internet rumors about his mom's relationship "very strange and upsetting."

"Whenever I use my phone it is now flooded with so much stuff about all of us, the second I turn it on, which I found very strange and upsetting," he told the outlet. "When I need to, I'm chronically offline. I delete Instagram for long chunks of time because it would be appalling to ever let that influence real life."

As for his relationship with his mom, Damian said the pair are extremely close.

"My mum and I are twins," he said of Elizabeth, 60. "We're very, very similar, which can also drive us insane, and I think with anyone that you can see yourself in, you can also get on each other's nerves insanely."

He shared that they arrange their busy schedules to meet at Elizabeth's home in Herefordshire, Donnington Hall, "with a cacophony of dogs, a cat and a parrot called Ping Pong, who was a gift from my stepfather Shane."

"I think she's going to outlive us all," Damian added.

Elizabeth and Cyrus made their romance Instagram official in a joint post on Easter 2025. The actress and the "Achy Breaky Heart" singer first met while working together on the set of a Christmas movie in 2022 but did not reconnect romantically until after the country star's 2024 divorce from his third wife.

"Billy Ray is fabulous. We're very happy, very happy," Elizabeth told The Sunday Times about their relationship in an interview published on Oct. 25.

In October 2025, a source close to Elizabeth told PEOPLE exclusively that the couple was "going strong.""They've been together for more than six months now. Despite the skepticism, it was always real from the beginning. And they're going strong," the insider shared.

"They're very different, but it works. They're so cute together," the source added. "It's the kind of connection that surprises people but makes perfect sense when you spend time with them. Liz's very happy."

The British royals will be under pressure if it emerges that any family members knew about ex-Prince Andrew's wrongdoings before his arrest, royal author Robert Jobson says

The former Duke of York was arrested on Feb. 19 and released the same day

"If it comes out that people knew stuff — whether it be members of the family or police or staffers — then heads must roll," Jobson says

Members of the British royal family will be under heat if authorities learn that they were aware of the former Prince Andrew's wrongdoings before his arrest, a historian says.

King Charles' younger brother was arrested in Sandringham on Feb. 19 on suspicion of misconduct in public office, and royal author Robert Jobson warns that there will be consequences if his family members were aware of his conduct before he was detained.

"When these things went on, he was Prince Andrew, Duke of York. He was right at the heart of the royal family and appointed by the late Queen [Elizabeth] and the government. It is one thing kicking him out now and saying he is a bad apple, but they didn't have due diligence in place. The problem will be — who knew what and when and why was nothing done?" Jobson exclusively tells PEOPLE.

"If it comes out that people knew stuff — whether it be members of the family or police or staffers — then heads must roll," adds the historian and author of The Windsor Legacy.

Andrew was arrested at the home where he is currently staying on the Sandringham estate on Feb. 19, his 66th birthday. Police are investigating the former Duke of York over an allegation that he shared confidential information with the late Jeffrey Epstein while acting as a trade envoy for the U.K., a position he held from 2001 to 2011.

Andrew's relationship with Epstein set his step back from public life in motion in November 2019, and he has consistently denied any wrongdoing in relation to the late financier, who died in prison while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges that August.

The former Duke of York, now called Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, was seen for the first time since his arrest later in the day on Thursday. He was photographed in the backseat of a vehicle and left Aylsham Police Station in Norfolk after spending about 11 hours in custody.

Earlier on Thursday, the King, 77, released a statement vowing that the palace would cooperate with police in the investigation. PEOPLE understands that Buckingham Palace was not informed of Andrew's arrest before it happened.

Jobson notes that King Charles isn't responsible for his brother's wrongdoings, but the author argues that the moment must serve as a wake-up call for the monarchy to move forward.

"Charles is not guilty of anything here. But the monarchy needs to change. They can't hide behind the Official Secrets Act and the lack of Freedom of Information," Jobson tells PEOPLE.

"They have to be as accountable and transparent as a government department. All these whispers here or there, they have to be much firmer in the way they approach things. The lack of accountability and the lack of transparency has led to complacency which has led to this problem. They have to be clearer and more transparent."

After retiring from the Royal Navy in 2001, Andrew took on a role as trade envoy for the U.K. Trade envoys promote British business interests abroad, and the post comes with an obligation of confidentiality, even after one's term of office ends.

Myha'la is sharing her perspective on giving up trying to understand fiance while filming Industry

"There's only so much I'm gonna understand about this," she said at HBO's Industry Screening with Myha'la and Ken Leung in Conversation with Jessica Shaw in New York City on Monday, Feb. 16

Season 4 of Industry is available to stream on HBO Max, with new episodes releasing weekly on Sundays until the finale on March 1

Myha'la may play a brilliant financial analyst in Industry, but off-screen, the actress gave up trying to understand the world of finance.

During HBO's Industry screening and conversation with Jessica Shaw on Monday, Feb. 16 in New York, Myha'la revealed that she attempted to learn finance for the series, set within a cutthroat investment bank, but eventually gave up.

"I honestly have up after season one," Myha'a, 29, admitted. "I was like, there's only so much I'm gonna understand about this."

The actress, who plays Harper Stern in the drama series, explained that the cast has been "really lucky" because they have had financial advisors and consultants come to advise them. Myha'la noted that the show's creators, Mickey Down and Konrad Key, were also there to help, as the show was inspired by their own experiences working in finance.

"We always had an expert available to guide us through, particularly, some of those really big trade scenes where we just have to know what's going on," she explained.

"I'm not, I'm like not gonna go home and like invest my own money or whatever," Myha'la said with a laugh. "It's like, all I really [need] to know is like, am I winning in this scenario? Am Iosing? Is this good? Is this bad?"

She continued, "I don't need much more than that to do my job, which is just to make you believe that I know what I'm talking about."

Ken Leung, who plays Eric Tao in Industry, chimed in to agree with his costar.

"You just have to know the stakes in order to play the scene," he said. "Mickey and Conrad make themselves very available to us at all times. So anytime we have any kind of question, they answer it."

"Speaking for myself, once the scene is done, I've forgotten everything," Leung joked.

Industry depicts a group of young bankers and traders who work at Pierpoint & Co., a prestigious investment bank in London. The series follows these young professionals as they navigate the pressure of working in finance after the 2008 collapse.

The show, which premiered in 2020, is in the midst of its fourth season. According to the official logline, season 4 will see the group "at the top of their game and living the lives they set out to have as Pierpoint grads." However, drama boils when Harper and Yasmin, played by Marisa Abela, "are drawn into a high-stakes, globetrotting cat-and-mouse game when a splashy fintech darling bursts onto the London scene."

As Yasmin and Harper navigate their romantic relationships, "their twisted friendship begins to warp and ignite under the pressure of money, power, and the desire to be on top."

The eight-episode season stars Myha'la, Abela, Leung and Kit Harington, with Max Minghella, Kiernan Shipka, Kal Penn, Claire Forlani and Charlie Heaton joining the cast.

Fans can stream new episodes of Industry on HBO Max, with new episodes releasing every Sunday until March 1.

Daniel Radcliffe is sharing his memories of filming Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

The 2005 film required six weeks of underwater scenes

Radcliffe said that during training, he had a moment of panic when he "didn't breathe" after taking his diving regulator out

Daniel Radcliffe is recounting the arduous process of filming six weeks of underwater scenes for the 2005 film Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

The 36-year-old actor was asked about "close calls" during the filming of the movie while appearing on a recent episode of Hot Ones.

"There was a time when we were training for it where I— we were doing like mask-clearing exercises, a very basic thing for learning to dive and you take a deep breath, and you take the regulator out and then when you put it back in, you gotta keep that breath because you go to blow the air out," he explained to host Sean Evans.

Radcliffe continued: "And I remember I took the thing out once and I was like, didn't breathe. Don't have any breath to clear this when I get it back on. And I put it back in and I was like [motioning upward] which is 'Get me out of here,' that's my drowning signal. And I got up and the stunt coordinator looked at me in the way that only he could — lovely man called Greg Powell — and he goes, 'Well, you won't make that mistake again!' "

"And I was like 'Oh, absolutely right," he said. "But yeah so, we filmed for six weeks. I've heard it quoted that we averaged five seconds of usable footage per day. That was one of the things that you go like yeah, I'll never, never do something like this again."

Radcliffe originated the role of Harry Potter in the original eight-film series, playing the young wizard from 2001 until 2011. He recently spoke to PEOPLE about the all-new HBO TV show centered on Potter's Wizarding World.

The series, which began production in July, sees a new trio of young actors — Dominic McLaughlin, Alastair Stout and Arabella Stanton — portray Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger as they matriculate at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Radcliffe — who stars with Tracy Morgan in an all-new NBC comedy, The Fall & Rise of Reggie Dinkins — told PEOPLE that he has been in touch with fellow Harry Potter alums Rupert Grint and Emma Watson amid the news of the new adaptation, and they have all been reflecting on "how surreal [it is] to watch people starting off on that journey, all those years later."

Tyra Sanchez might've won the judges over by marrying her stunning looks with ace lip-sync skills, but the former drag queen's *RuPaul's Drag Race* season 2 sisters tell EW she morphed into a momentary bridezilla during an intense confrontation the show's cameras didn't capture.

"It actually happened.... while people were [doing their confessional interviews], so there weren't cameras in the Werk Room," season 2 runner-up Raven explains to hosts Joey Nolfi and Jillian Sederholm in the latest episode of *EW's BINGE* podcast.

Raven adds that, during prep for the infamous bridal makeover challenge on episode 5, Sanchez — who would go on to win the competition, and now goes by James Ross — tested her fellow competitors' collective patience by singing Beyoncé's "Halo" at the "top of her lungs" while the queens tried to focus on completing their wedding gowns for the runway.

"We had just spent all day filming. Tensions were high. We were halfway through the competition, and she was asked nicely to please be quiet, and she did not," Raven remembers. "She was asked as second time. This is when it got more to a 'Hey, shut the f— up,' and she did not."

Raven says Tatianna then "decided to walk up to her and say 'Look, I'm sick of hearing you. Shut the f— up.' They kind of pushed each other and a production assistant walked in and separated the two of them. Mind you, she was half the height of both of them."

The moment ended with the contestants accepting that the moment marked a "turning point" for Tyra, "where everyone realized she really just doesn't care about anyone else here."

Elsewhere on the episode, Jujubee takes us through the moment her eyeball connected with Raven's stiletto during the final episode's music video shoot, an audio mishap that occurred while Jessica Wild was, well, sitting on the porcelain throne, and more season 2 tea on* EW's BINGE* podcast, which premieres new episodes featuring *Drag Race* icons every Thursday.

The level of queer excellence to graduate from *RuPaul's Drag Race* season 4? Far too much. But that doesn't mean these ladies didn't have to fight tooth and (sparkly) nail to get there.

Season 4 icons Chad Michaels and Latrice Royale join the latest episode of *EW's BINGE* podcast to recall all the juicy drama and heartwarming sisterhood that went down on one of fans' favorite seasons of the Emmy-winning reality competition program, including a particularly tense exchange between Michaels and Phi Phi O'Hara that never made it to air. And, like all epic battles throughout world history, it began in a room filled with wigs.

"There was one night when they let us stay an extra hour to work on wigs.... She started in on me, and I said something like 'You know what Phi Phi? I was on *The Jay Leno Show*. I appeared on *The Jay Leno Show* as Cher,'" Michaels remembers of an earlier highlight in his pre-*Drag Race* career as a celebrity impersonator. "What have you done?' And she just goes, 'Yeah, you were on *The Jay Leno Show*... as a joke!' and I just, if my head could've exploded, it would've. But the tragedy of the story is that it was not caught on camera. It would've rivaled the Party City scene [between Sharon Needles and O'Hara]."

Royale admits she "missed" the moment because she was dealing with drama of her own: A wayward prop during the infamous boat-decorating challenge where the queens were tasked with making over personal wooden rafts and floating them down the runway.

"My boat didn't fit, remember? They had to rebuild my boat and I had to do my stuff the next day," the self-proclaimed "large and in charge, chunky yet funky" diva says. "They brought all those boats in made the same size, and, bitch, I was like, I can't squeeze up in this, not with my body on, I put on padding! So they had to take the boat apart and rebuild it while everybody was decorating their boat!"

Later, the pair stresses their love for both O'Hara and Willam, who was memorably disqualified from the competition for mysterious reasons.

"Willam is fierce," Michaels says, while Royale feels she has a "love fest" going on with the Emmy-nominated *EastSiders* actor as the queen she's "closest to now from the season."

"Me and Christopher, my husband, always say if there was ever some s— to really go down, there are a few handful of girls that you know will be there. Chad, Willam, Manila... these girls I *know* got your back," Royale explains.

Continues Michaels: "He'll surprise you. He'll just send you something in the mail out of random." The contents of such packages? Well, as Royale reveals: "Dildos! Poppers!"

Are you ready for the Tyra Banks/Naomi Campbell sit-down of the drag world? EW exclusively reunited sisters-in-drag Shangela and Raja for an in-depth breakdown of all of their *RuPaul's Drag Race* season 3 secrets, marking the first time both queens have reunited for a joint interview in nearly 10 years.

Joining hosts Joey Nolfi and Jillian Sederholm on the latest episode of *EW's BINGE* podcast, Shangela and Raja candidly recall their time filming the third season of the Emmy-winning reality competition series, which Shangela — after previously being eliminated on the first episode of season 2 — returned to by infamously popping out of a giant box to surprise the other contestants.

"They said to listen for Ru's keyword, which is 'ridonculous.' When RuPaul says ridonculous, [I had to] jump up out the box.... girl, Miss Ru took about 14 takes before she did ridonculous after I had been rolled in!" Shangela jokes. "I was so hot and sweaty in the box, and I could hear the girls talking. I could recognize some voices.... Raja has a very iconic voice, so I was like, that's Raja! I knew her, I knew Manila, I was just hanging out in there waiting!"

While Shangela was excited to pop out of the box, Raja's immediate reaction wasn't so warm, as the pair had a recent falling out over a borrowed wig Shangela returned to her friend in knots.

"That tension built up made for amazing television," Raja remembers. "People still today, 10 years later, tend to think of us as being these rivals when oftentimes I really just want to make out with her."

The pair also discuss a three-week break in filming the season, which ended as they were welcomed back to the set with gifts from RuPaul: Small, ceramic containers emblazoned with the word "dolls," and both queens still cherish the trinket.

"I took my dolls container to my Tic-Tac lunch with Ru, and I asked her to sign it at the end of the segment. I still have my 10-year-old Tic-Tac inside of the dolls container.... I've opened it recently and what was once an orange Tic-Tac is now a black Tic-Tac," Raja reveals, later adding that, in addition to stealing the Tic-Tac, she and Carmen Carrera also used to smuggle vodka from the *Untucked* lounge into their purses.

The biggest reveal comes toward the end of the podcast interview, when Shangela goops herself by getting Raja to admit to an age-old mystery among the *Drag Race* community: Was there tulle on Raja's infamous hair-centric dress that was, as outlined by the runway challenge, to be constructed using *only* wig hair?

"There *was* tulle!" Raja remembers as Shangela rejoices. "There was a layer of it that held the hair in place. What I did with the hair was I pelted it, kind of like dreadlocking, where you tease hair so it becomes like felt, so I put a layer of sheer tulle underneath to keep the shape. But, yes, there was tulle!"
