JAMES Bond star Ben Whishaw was on a top secret mission that would make 007 proud.
They can reveal the actor is secretly dating Fleabag star Kadiff Kirwan after they met on the set of BBC medical comedy-drama This Is Going To Hurt 2022, in which they both play doctors.

Friends of the couple told me they’ve been seeing each other for months – and have been on numerous romantic getaways, including a low-key holiday in the sun in Greece last year.
A source said: “Ben and Kadiff are on the same page when it comes to the privacy of their love lives. But they are very close and have a lot of mutual friends, so they often hang out.
“They got together after starring in This Is Going To Hurt and have been quietly together ever since.”
Ben and Kadiff, who played hairdresser Anthony in Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s comedy-drama Fleabag, were rarely seen out and about together.
But at last summer’s Margate Pride, the pair posed for a picture after attending the event with friends.
Ben starred as Q in 2012’s Skyfall, 2015’s Spectre, and 2021’s No Time To Die. He returns as the voice of Paddington Bear in Paddington in Peru later this year.
Meanwhile, Kadiff, who is best friends with actress Michaela Coel, starred opposite Harry Styles in 2022’s My Policeman. He has also appeared in other series such as I May Destroy You, with Michaela, and the Apple TV+ hit Slow Horses.
Last month on Jessie Ware’s Table Manners podcast, Kadiff dropped a big hint about his relationship with Ben by calling him his “other half.”
When asked who would be at the table for his hypothetical last dinner, Kadiff said: “All my friends, my significant other and my best friends.”
It’s certainly better than George Clooney calling his wife Amal “domestic”, in a massive row earlier this week.
When Jessie asked him if he’d like to take a cake home for his boyfriend, Kadiff added, “I’d like to take a cake, he’d like that.”
‘Noel is as soft as Ronan’
NOEL Gallagher better watch his back if he runs into brother Liam.
The brothers, who have been feuding since Oasis split in 2009, are trying to organize a reunion tour.
When asked what he would have done differently after Oasis broke up, Liam said: “I would have filled them both,” referring to Noel, right, and their then manager Marcus Russell. He added: “They threw me under the fucking bus.”
Liam, who released a record, Just Another Rainbow, with Stone Roses guitarist John Squire, was seen as a scapegoat when his party influenced Noel’s decision to come out.
He said: “That was my behavior from day one and his. But suddenly he turned into RONAN KEATING or some soft bitch.”
Sniffing to cash in gin

Snoop Dogg and Dr Dre team up to launch new drink brand Credit: Getty
You’d think years of blowing up rapper Snoop Dogg’s funny fags would have thrown him over the edge.
Even the opening beat of that awful JustEat ad makes me want to change the channel immediately.
But this time, the rapper might be on to something a little better.
Insiders tell me that Snoop has teamed up with Dr Dre to launch a new drink brand to mark the 20th anniversary of one of their classic songs, Gin And Juice.
The song, produced by Dre, celebrates its birthday on Thursday, and the pair have filed trademark documents for the brand – which includes spirits, cocktails and merchandise.
The source added: “20. Gin And Juice’s birthday is cause for celebration and Snoop and Dre want to take advantage of it.
“The song had a huge impact on pop culture and the hip-hop landscape.
“It goes hand in hand with a good time, so introducing a beverage brand for fans to celebrate with is exactly what they wanted to do.”
Along with an encyclopedic knowledge of weed, Snoop is already quite familiar with gin, having teamed up with Trusted Spirits to release a strawberry tipple called Indoggo in 2020.
He also holds the Guinness World Record for the largest gin and juice ever after making a 145-gallon cocktail of the stuff in 2018.
Why the hell not, huh?
CASCADA IS IN CONTACT AGAIN
WHEN I hear Cascada’s Everytime We Touch, I’m transported back to my favorite hideous Leicester nightclub in 2006, where VK spirits cost £1.50 and the dance floor was barely visible from the cigarette smoke.
We will all feel a touch of nostalgia, because the singer has confirmed that she is working on new music.
Cascada said: “I have a lot of things planned. I will be in the studio recording a lot of new music. You’ll find out soon because I don’t like to keep secrets.”
Before she heads into the studio, she’s got a show planned in Bognor Regis – bear with you – and will be playing the Mighty Hoopla Weekender alongside Natalie Imbruglia and Katy B.

AS if Harry Styles isn’t busy enough, he has yet another big project after buying a stake in British clothing company SSDaley.
A source said: “Harry has always supported the brand and has been wearing their stuff for years.
“When the opportunity came for him to invest, he took the opportunity.”
Harry’s decision to model SSDaley clobber has also paid off for brand creator Steven Stokey-Daley.
He said sales spiked when Harry wore his pants, right, in the music video for his 2020 song Golden.
