New ‘Netflix House’ shopping attractions to launch soon – with immersive TV experiences, merchandise and on-site cafe
NETFLIX is opening a house of immersive experiences.
The TV production company are set to open Netflix House in the next few months with various experiences that bring popular shows and films to life – and they’ll stock Meghan Markle‘s lifestyle products.
From waltzing to Bridgerton tunes or completing Squid Game challenges, Netflix House will be filled with experiences from their most popular shows.
Netflix said their ‘House’ will be “a year-round home for fans to live the stories they love”.
The website adds they will have “experiential entertainment” that will build on “Netflix live experiences”.
Netflix House will have themed attractions based on their most popular shows like Bridgerton, Money Heist, Stranger Things and Squid Game.
They will also recreate sets, making it the most Instagrammable place to be for TV fans.
On-site restaurants and cafes will serve show-inspired food and drink, and the shops will sell exclusive merchandise, including Meghan Markle’s American Riviera Orchard jam, according to the D.
Marian Lee, Netflix’s Chief Marketing Officer said: “At Netflix House, you can enjoy regularly updated immersive experiences, indulge in retail therapy, and get a taste — literally — of your favourite Netflix series and films through unique food and drink offerings.
“We’ve launched more than 50 experiences in 25 cities, and Netflix House represents the next generation of our distinctive offerings.
“The venues will bring our beloved stories to life in new, ever-changing, and unexpected ways.”
The first two US locations will open at King of Prussia in Pennsylvania and Galleria Dallas in Texas this year, with plans for more worldwide.
In both locations, Netflix House will be spread over 100,000 square feet and will use former department store space.
Outside will be life-size sculptures and murals of characters which can be seen in their illustration.
If they are a success, Netflix aren’t ruling out opening more ‘Houses’ later on.
The TV streaming giant is also set to stock Meghan Markle’s line of products in Netflix House, according to the Mail.
The newspaper has revealed that Netflix House will be one of the first to sell American Riviera Orchard stock when their shop opens, as well as in the on-site cafe.
The launch of Netflix House will reportedly coincide with Meghan Markle’s new Netflix show “With Love, Meghan,” which begins streaming on Tuesday, March 4.

Game show set to rival The 1% Club coming to the UK after huge success in Japan
A NEW game show which is set to rival The 1% Club is coming to the UK after its huge success in Japan.
The show called 100 choices sees a group of contestants presented with 1 question and 100 possible answers.
It is similar in style to the hit quiz show The 1% Club where contestants have to answer a series of questions – but there’s a twist in the new show.
In the game show called 100 choices, the question is near impossible to answer straight away.
So, to help narrow down the possibilities its contestants must tackle five physical challenges.
Each success will then enable them to eliminate incorrect options.
The result is a dynamic format that combines brains, muscle and teamwork for maximum family entertainment value.
At the end of the show, if they answer the question correctly, they will win a huge cash prize.
Acquired by Sony Pictures Television, the show will will be launching at London Screenings 2025.
Laura St. Clair, SVP, International Formats, Sony Pictures Television, says: “100 Choices is a unique new take on family entertainment and comedy gameshow genres.
“We love the strength of the central format premise, which makes it suitable to adapt for both weekend studio prime time and location shoots.
“We’re excited to work with the team at FANYStudio to bring this fantastic format to our buyers around the world – and we can’t wait to unveil it at London Screenings later this month!”
Mari Kawamura, Head of Global Business, FANY Studio, says “The 100 choices format idea was originally the first episode in the World HOMERUN Factory series airing on BS Yoshimoto.
“I am deeply impressed by how this format embodies the very essence of the HOMERUN Factory mission, through its adaptability and international relevance.
“100 Choices strives to take flight in the global market now. With the support of SPT, I sincerely hope this format will become one that is loved around the world.”
Recently, The 1% Club saw a contestant win its biggest ever jackpot in an episode of Lee Mack‘s ITV hit that will go down in history.
Hardest Quiz Show Questions
Would you know the answers to some of quizzing TV's hardest questions
- Who Wants To Be A Millionaire – Earlier this year, fans were left outraged after what they described as the “worst” question in the show’s history. Host Jeremy Clarkson asked: “From the 2000 awards ceremony onwards, the Best Actress Oscar has never been won by a woman whose surname begins with which one of these letters?” The multiple choice answers were between G, K, M and W. In the end, and with the £32,000 safe, player Glen had to make a guess and went for G. It turned out to be correct as Nicole Kidman, Frances McDormand and Kate Winslet are among the stars who have won the Best Actress gong since 2000.
- The 1% Club – Viewers of Lee Mack’s popular ITV show were left dumbfounded by a question that also left the players perplexed. The query went as follows: “Edna’s birthday is on the 6th of April and Jen’s birthday falls on the 15th of October, therefore Amir’s birthday must be the ‘X’ of January.” It turns out the conundrum links the numbers with its position in the sentence, so 6th is the sixth word and 15th is the fifteenth word. Therefore, Amir’s birthday is January 24th, corresponding to the 24th word in the sentence.
- The Chase – The ITV daytime favourite left fans scratching their heads when it threw up one of the most bizarre questions to ever grace the programme. One of the questions asked the player: “Someone with a nightshade intolerance should avoid eating what?” The options were – sweetcorn, potatoes, carrots – with Steve selecting sweetcorn but the correct answer was potatoes.
The popular programme sees 100 contestants compete for a £100,000 prize pot by answering 15 logic-inspired questions that get progressively harder through the rounds.
It kicks off with a question which 90 per cent of the population polled got right, then poses brain-teasers which smaller and smaller percentages of the country got right, culminating with a 1% question.
Contestant Matthew bagged a life-changing £99,000 when he answered the final question of the challenge correctly.
The final question was an anagram of the word elephant and when he gave his answer, told him his response was correct.
This prompted a smile and fist pump from the contestant who looked delighted.
Lee then told him: “Congratulations Matthew! You are the winner to everything in the prize pot! That’s £99,000!”
How to dress like a TV star for less as Scottish celebs flog their second-hand designer gear on Vinted
WITH the cost of living going through the roof, many of us have turned online to flog our pre-loved clothes for some extra cash.
But Vinted’s 16 million UK users are not just ordinary people – celebs such as Katie Price and even millionaire Molly-Mae Hague are also selling their old outfits.
More recently, fans also saw Towie’s Billie Faeirs, worth £4million, join the cash-grabbing craze on the platform to sell baby buys for a whopping £75.
And some of our favourite Scottish TV and reality stars are also getting in on the action.
So if you want to look like one of your favourite celebs for less, then listen up.
Danni Menzies
The former A Place in the Sun host has given fans the chance to snap up her old designer wardrobe after launching a Vinted account this week.
Danni, 36, revealed she’s having the “biggest clear out of her life” as she parts with some of her gorgeous fashion buys.
The TV beauty currently has 25 listings live on her page, with prices starting from just £8 for a black Zara bag.
In an Instagram video, Danni – from Perthshire – said: “I’m currently balls deep in the biggest clear out of my life. I’ve basically decided to become a minimalist.
“So I’m moving out of my flat and I’m gonna be floating between places a bit this year.
“I’ve got so many clothes, hats, bags, shoes, glasses, everything that I never use so I thought I would set up a Vinted shop.”
She added: “I’ve never done this before. I started uploading stuff today. There’s going to be loads more coming over the next week.
“So if you have any friends who are a size 8-10, and actually really important one, if you have any friends who are a size eight feet, because us size eight girls find it hard to find good shoes, make sure you send them this post because there’s going to be lots more coming.
“Get it while you can.”
Keeping it light-hearted, she also jokingly teased admirers that “dirty socks [are] £100 on request”.
So if you’re a fan of the TV host’s style, you’ll need to be quick to snap up some of her designer shoes and bags.
Danni is flogging a black YSL handbag for £800, a Mulberry brown leopard print Alexa bag for £300 and a nude Gucci handbag for £500.
She has also listed black studded Michael Kors heels for £40 and Just Cavalli white boots for £40.
But the blonde TV favourite proved she’s also a fan of the high street with some cheaper items available too.
From a grey Zara bomber jacket for £30 to nude ASOS heels for £15, there’s items for every occassion.
If she were to sell all 23 items currently listed on her page for full price, the TV beauty could cash in a cool £3,005.
Jean Johansson
Danni’s fellow Channel 4 presenter has also been selling her old clothes on the marketplace app, with some red carpet looks up for grabs.
Jean, 43, said she joined Vinted as she is “ready for her old wardrobe to get a new life”.
She currently has 11 listings live on her page, with prices starting from £15 for a Coast co-ord.
So if you’ve admired her TV looks on the travel show, you might want to give he page a look.
Fans also have the chance to snap up some of her designer heels and clothing – including a Burberry trench for £500.
Jean has even slashed the price of a pair of patent coral Louboutin heels in a size 6 from £250 to £150 and pink Jimmy Choo wedges from £100 to £40. So it’s a good time to pick up a bargain.
But the down-to-earth TV beauty married to Rangers legend Jonatan Johansson, has a selection of high street fashion on sale too.
From a £20 ASOS frock to Missguided LBD, there’s items for all styles.
Jean revealed she’s already had a flurry of sales after showing off a pile of parcels ready to be posted out.
New Vinted rules to be aware of
IF you fancy clearing out your wardrobe and getting rid of your old stuff on Vinted, you’ll need to consider the new rules that recently came into play.
If people are selling personal items for less than they paid new (which is generally the case for second-hand sales), there is no impact on tax.
However, since January 1, digital platforms, including eBay, Airbnb, Etsy, Amazon and Vinted, must share seller information with HMRC as part of a crackdown.
You’re unlikely to be affected if you only sell a handful of second-hand items online each year – generally, only business sellers trading for profit might need to pay tax.
A tax-free allowance of £1,000 has been in place since 2017 for business sellers trading for profit – the only time that an individual personal item might be taxable is if it sells for more than £6,000 and there is a profit from the sale.
However, firms now have to pass on your data to HMRC if you sell 30 or more items a year or earn over £1,700.
It is part of a wider tax crackdown to help ensure that those who boost their income via side hustles pay up what they owe.
While your data won’t be shared with HMRC if you earn between £1,000 and £1,700, you’ll still need to pay tax as normal.
She’s been hailed as an “excellent seller” by satisfied buyers and boasts 22 five-star reviews thanks to her speedy postage.
And if she manages to flog her remaining 11 items, she could bag a further £870.
Roisin Kelly
The Gogglebox star decided to flog her old clothes to fund a £1,000 treat.
The TV beauty and boyfriend Joe Kyle became the first Scots in six years to appear on the hit Channel 4 show after making their debut in 2022.
Since starring on Gogglebox, Roisin has racked up a large social media following and is no stranger to wowing fans with her unique fashion sense.
And now fashionistas have the chance to bag her wardrobe as she’s selling off items from her wardrobe on Vinted.
Speaking about her Vinted selling spree, Roisin said: “I used to [do] ASOS hauls all the time but I moved out and now I can’t afford ASOS hauls all the time.
“Every summer I have a box of summer clothes that I put in my wardrobe and then I don’t even wear them, then I put them back in the box and take them out again the next summer. The cycle has to end.
“I’m going to New York and I really want to go on a helicopter ride but it’s £1,000. So I need to sell all my clothes on Vinted so I can go on a helicopter.”
Roisin has already racked up more than 140 five-star reviews on the app and currently has 23 items up for sale, including a Mango floral dress for £8.
She’s also flogging a black Topshop mini skirt for £16, silver ASOS jeans for £8 and a white H&M blouse for £6.
Urging shoppers to snap up more, she joked: “If you buy my stuff you will have my utmost gratitude.
“And you will know what my home scent is, which I always like to know about people.”
In total, she could rake in £199 from her live listings if sold for full price.
Georgia Toffolo
Made in Chelsea star Georgia Toffolo has a 100 per cent, five-star selling record on the app.
The I’m a Celeb winner says it’s best to model the items yourself, rather than take a lacklustre snap of them lying on the floor or hanging up.
And she swears by her “full outfit” hack to boost sales.
While she’s not Scottish, we’ve included the 30-year-old in our round up as she’s engaged to former Brewdog founder James Watt, from Aberdeenshire and spends a lot of time north of the border.
Georgia, who recently spoke of her love for Scotland on a trip round the country with her 42-year-old tycoon boyfriend, likes to model outfits herself as she says it gives buyers a real idea of the item.
She told us: “It really helps to show how the item sits on the body and gives the buyer a better idea of the ‘fit’ and sizing, and how it could look on them.
“Remember to take pictures in good natural daylight, or use a ring light if you need some extra help.”
The TV beauty has already made £1,1340 on the marketplace app and could rake in a staggering £11,649 more if she flogs her remaining 134 items.
Her listings include everything from £20 Zara dresses to Olivia von Halle pyjamas for a staggering £290.
Lydia Karakyriakou
LOVE Island fave Lydia has just as an enviable wardrobe to match her flawless figure.
The Glasgow gal, who quit her job with Zara to join the villa in 2023, only lasted a few days after being drafted in as a bombshell for Casa Amor.
But she remains a fan favourite to this day and boasts more than 115,000 followers on Instagram where fashionistas love to see her outfit choices.
And they have a chance to snap some of them up on Vinted, with the star’s current listings including beach cover ups and sparkly Oh Polly dresses.
If she were to sell all of her live listings, the Love Island beauty could cash in up to £520 – on top of the £700 she’s already made.
Erica Roberts
The Married at First Sight star openly admits she’s “addicted to clothes” on her Vinted bio.
The Edinburgh-born beauty sells most items new with tags or barely worn, and already has over 50 five-star reviews from happy shoppers.
She makes an extra effort on the marketplace app too, as some buyers revealed they received personalised notes in their parcels that are a “lovely little touch”.
Erica hasn’t been active on Vinted in three months, however, so you may need to keep checking if you want to grab a bargain.
She currently only has four items up for sale as well, with a £2 Primark mini dress and a £6 Zara summer maxi dress.
Cash-grabbing craze?
”There’s often a mix of motivations at play”, he explains
According to the celebrity guru, some may assume famous faces are using this as a clever tactics to ”appear more relatable”.
”By engaging in the same activities as their fans, like selling clothes on second-hand platforms, they can seem more down-to-earth and connected to everyday life.
”Plus, it’s a way for fans to own a piece of their favourite celebrity’s wardrobe, which can create a sense of closeness.”
What’s more, just because most celebs are ”indeed wealthy”, ”it doesn’t mean they wouldn’t want to make some extra cash”.
”And why shouldn’t they?
”Selling their old clothes is an easy way to do that, especially if they have a large following willing to buy.”
”That said, there’s potential for backlash,” he added.
Edward also explained how raking in from their pre-loved gear could lead to criticism amongst the public, especially as more and more Brits are forced to turn to food banks.
“Critics might argue that since these celebrities are already financially comfortable, they should donate their old clothes to charity instead of profiting from them.
”This criticism often comes from the perception that celebrities should use their wealth and influence to give back to their communities rather than just accumulating more money.
”A lot of celebrities do tend to do this privately, as well as publicly.”
Hollywood star Idris Elba invests in brand new Formula E team as he reveals ‘deep and personal’ reason for decision
IDRIS ELBA has invested in a brand new Formula E team – and has revealed the “deep and personal” reason for the decision.

“Joining lead investors David Kaplan and Bennett Rosenthal, the powerhouse investment group now includes: Golden Globe-winning actor and producer Idris Elba; major league sports team owners Tony Ressler, Larry Berg and Shaun Neff; media deal-makers Navid Mahmoodzagedan, Steve Bornstein and Rick Hess; and strategic advisors Jeffrey Assaf, Caleb Kramer and Michael Woronoff.
“This investment underscores the shared belief in Formula E’s immense potential and growing commercial appeal, following the acquisition of Kiro Race Co by The Forest Road Company, a Los Angeles-based investment firm, in October 2024.
“With unparalleled expertise across the business, media, sports, and entertainment sectors, the diverse investor group signifies the start of a compelling new era for KIRO and will be pivotal in the strategic positioning of the team’s long-term growth as a sports franchise.”

“The team’s vision for the future, desire to innovate, and commitment to excellence resonate with me on a deep, personal level, and I’m looking forward to playing my part in its journey to the front of the grid.”

But this is not Elba’s first foray into motorsport.
In 2022, the Luther actor – who also performs as a rapper, singer and DJ – launched the Idris Elba Speed Academy, an initiative launched to nurture future racing talent from communities underrepresented in the world of motorsport.
A year later, SunSport revealed ex-Formula One engineer Rob Smedley was also hoping to change the future of motorsport – with a little bit of help from Elba.

Michelle Keegan reveals how she’ll hide baby bump as Erin as she films final
PREGNANT Michelle Keegan has revealed just how she’ll hide her baby bump as she plays the role of Brassic’s Erin Croft for the final time.
The Sky show has been Michelle‘s longest piece of TV work since she spent six years as Coronation Street‘s Tina McIntyre.
The cast are now filming the seventh and final series later, which will no doubt feature a slew of signature sizzling moments, before the Manchester lass heads on maternity leave.
Michelle, 37, revealed she is expecting her first baby with TOWIE favourite Mark, 38, in December.
The Sun has since confirmed the TV favourite is “weeks” from giving birth.
Now it has been revealed how mum of one’s Erin’s streetwise winter wardrobe will be key in her scenes.
Michelle denied her loveable character will be pregnant on-screen and told Grazia magazine: “No, I’m just wearing lots of big jumpers and coats.”
Michelle has already been spotted on-set giving a glimpse of her baby bump in a huge green overcoat.
The expectant mum was also seen grinning with her co-stars as she pulled on a cosy pink puffa jacket for a group snapshot.
Michelle also covered up when she reunited on set with ex Corrie star Catherine Tyldesley.
In this snap, Michelle donned an olive green leather bomber jacket and pulled her brunette locks into Erin’s signature high ponytail.
Brassic first launched in 2019 and follows a group of working class friends as they struggle to make ends meet, resorting to petty crime and running into trouble as they go.
Bonded by lifelong friendships, the group navigate bizarre antics and heists while avoiding the cops.
They battle parenting reveals as well as mental health issues, as well as the group’s changing dynamic as they grow up.
MAE DAY
Earlier this week, we reported how filming for Michelle’s series in Cheshire caused havoc for fellow TV star Molly-Mae Hague.
It came as scenes were shot just streets away from her Molly Maison mansion, prompting closures of roads and pavements for access.
Yet we told how news that filming was so close to Molly-Mae’s house wasn’t passed on to the star, and as a result threw a spanner into her day.
A source exclusively told The Sun: “They blocked off her street and were filming two houses down from her.
“She started trying to drive down the street but had to stop due to the disruption.”
Exclusive pics acquired by The Sun showed cars and police vehicles blocking the road, with a roadworks sign warning: “Traffic control ahead.”
It’s not known what scenes are being filmed in the show, or how it connects to the final series.
