It’s a silent condition affecting millions, lurking in the background until it leads to deadly heart attacks and strokes, experts told the Daily Mail. Yet few have ever heard of it.
HBO Max’s The Pitt is back for its third season in January, and Friday saw the release of the first trailer from this new season.
Whilst these characters and its actors are familiar faces to many now, one face will be more familiar to the people of Barry than others in Dr Dennis Whitaker, played by local actor Gerran Howell.
Howell grew up in Barry, where he attended Barry Comprehensive School, before training at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London.

Some readers might recognise him best from his roles as Private Parry in 1917, or as Vlad in the CBBC series Young Dracula. The series followed a family of vampires and their move from Transylvania to a rural Welsh town – a far departure from the chaos of the emergency department at The Pitt.
The gentle, yet naïve, Dr Whitaker captured audiences’ attention as he gradually came out of his shell.
His blossoming friendship with Dr Trinity Santos, played by Isa Briones, takes centre stage in his appearances during this trailer.
But, in true The Pitt fashion, Whitaker is unable to catch a break for very long and finds himself in some tricky situations. We see a clip of him hitting the ground, and his head, hard during another dramatic shift at this fictional emergency department – but at least he’s in the right place to deal with it.
This first look of the new season comes just weeks before one of the biggest nights in the television awards season; the Emmy Awards.

Howell finds himself nominated for the first time at this year’s awards in the ‘Drama supporting actor’ category alongside co-stars Patrick Ball (Dr Frank Langdon) and Shawn Hatosy (Dr Jack Abbot).
In a post on his Instagram story at the time, he wrote: “To be nominated for an Emmy or even considered feels completely surreal for this little Welsh boy!
“I feel unbelievably lucky to be part of a show made by people who give everything to it, every single day.”
The 78th Emmy Awards will be held on September 14 at 5pm at the Peacock Theatre in downtown Los Angeles.
Season three of The Pitt will air on HBO Max in January 2027.
Julia Bottoms spent four days in Glanusk Park for the latest edition of the Green Man festival. The grass may have been greener in past years, and the ceremonial figure who gives the event its name may have avoided his traditional demise for health and safety reasons, but it all makes this feel like an evermore valuable escape.
A titan of the festival calendar, Green Man has kept the Welsh flame burning for almost 25 years, yet this year’s festival arrives under a cruel irony. Following a summer of heat and drought which has set the valley’s hillsides aflame – and thus stopped this year’s green man from burning on Sunday night – the festival’s sustainability commitments feel pertinent as ever.
The lineup, however, is anything but dry. Across its four days, a rich pool of emerging talent and established stars flowed through the valley, and this year, a strong electronic contingent lent the festival an unexpected party pulse. Still, as the pleasant ring mountainous green encloses the site, and barely a phone held aloft in sunscreen-perfumed crowds, Green Man retains its rare sense of bucolic remove. It’s a festival that seems, for a few days at least, to exist at a curious distance from the rest of the world.
Despite a few opening teething problems, ‘wonk pop’ rockers Lime Garden waste little time in finding their stride, their buzzy set gathering momentum as they unveil new single Moving Target. “We think it’s the best one yet,” proclaims lead vocalist Chloe Howard, and indeed it is; written about a long-lost lover who decamped to Iceland, Howard sings from the gut, and the band’s instinct for basic melodic pleasure finds the fun in heartbreak.
CVC, or Church Village Collective, are slick and buoyant – six harmonising Welsh lads crooning about girls, quotidian pleasures and good times. Charming, though their repeated calls for their volume to be turned up makes for a somewhat distracted stage presence. Mogwai, by contrast, play with the kind of volume that makes you feel your own insides, and the crowd stays in spades, transfixed. Directly following is Charlotte Church in her End Times Pop Dungeon which presents an interesting change of pace. True to form, she lets it rip from the first note, but more surprising is an idiosyncratic rendition of Charli XCX’s Sympathy Is A Knife, taking something of a leftfield detour in her setlist.

Alt-folk Manchester seven-piece The Slow Country are undoubtedly among the festival’s freshest young talents. With no discernible frontperson, the seven-piece collective, who have worked with the likes of Bill Ryder-Jones, operate as more of a musical democracy. From a swirling amalgam of keys, mandolin, yelps and BC,NR-esque strings, the result is a magical, joyously unruly sound.
Next, this year’s Green Man Rising winner Tall Child takes to the Mountain Stage. Lead singer Zha Gandhi packs both precision and power on new single Money, a rallying cry for young artists negotiating the precarities of creative life on universal credit, a cause fittingly supported by the award itself. Over at the Walled Garden stage, the heady folksy jingle of My New Band Believe spills out, with ex-Black Midi frontman Cameron Picton revealing the simpering, tender underbelly of his tenor in songs like ‘Kick Me’.

Westside Cowboy’s hotly anticipated set arrives on the day their new album is released, drawing a heaving crowd to the Mountain Stage despite the heavens opening overhead. For a finale, the Mancunian four-piece ditch their midwest indie rock’n’roll for an acoustic, intimate rendition of In The Morning. Unfortunately, Maria Somerville’s sunken dreampop is mushed to sludge on the Far Out Stage, the basslines drowning out the gauzy intricacies of tracks like Projections.
By contrast, New York duo Ear fill the space with a well of bewildering electronica, and a hyperreal gleam to their performance. Standing in front of the shimmering idyll of what looks like someone’s back garden, Jonah Paz and Yaelle Avtan dance like violently shaking twin mops, and are remarkably awkward but in a good way (“OK… we are gonna sing it now”). Their sound: like hitting QWERTY on the keyboard over spindly flashes of synth and dark, jerky basslines.

Back at the Mountain Stage, Dry Cleaning perform in front of what looks like a giant photograph of Heathrow airport, summoning Jeff Tweedy for a rendition of My Soul/Half Pint. Florence Shaw’s dry, dispassionate question mark of a voice glides cooly over the band’s characteristically danger-tinged right-angle riffs, but some momentum is lost when straying from hits. Stalwart of Copenhagen’s alt-underground ML Buch plays her set as one continuous passage, her vocals sliding magnetically over the glossy contours of bending guitar licks. Tracks like Flames Shards Goo create an uncanny effect, like the meeting of screen and flesh.
What’s sign language for poo? The BSL interpreter rises to the challenge for Getdown Services. So begins another descent into the Bristol duo’s brand of lowbrow brilliance; a faceful of crisps and the occasional dab, and a setlist that is as puerile as it is political. There’s a sincere call to free Palestine, alongside praising the festival’s independent spirit, before back down to dog dribbling and runins with radiators. Back at Mountain, something strange keeps happening in the middle of Wilco’s set. Gut shuddering drum fills interrupt Via Chicago and California Stars, met with bewilderment, then awe. By the closing stretch, they are at their most raucous, although the set’s 90-minute runtime slightly drags. Finally, Adult DVD’s propulsive post punk soundtracks a bumping, abrasive end to the evening. Their sound is like taking a bludgeon to a synthesiser, yet beneath the assault is a pulse that demands movement, and gets it.

There’s an avian presence throughout Ana Frango Elétrico’s set, even down to her floofy bucket hat, as she performs tracks from her second album, Little Electric Chicken Heart. Her voice sounds part-trumpet, gliding over mellow syncopated grooves. Making their Green Man debut, young Cardiff-based Casual Smart drew a curious crowd to the Rising Stage. Resembling a charming jumble of art school kids in t-shirts and frocks, they produce a stuffed, homespun sound reminiscent of Belle & Sebastian. Over on the Mountain Stage, Chicagoan three-piece Horsegirl were unfortunately swallowed up by the vastness of the stage despite a technically tight set.
Australian indie outfit The Belair Lip Bombs live up to the intrigue of their name, dealing in a heady, rounded sound, propelled by chugging guitars and top-class vocals from Maisie Everett; their cathartic, friendly strain of rock feels almost purpose-built for Green Man. And luminous as ever, Cate Le Bon seems to levitate above the festival stage. With press photography forbidden and crowd interaction limited aside from the occasional “diolch”, her main medium of communication is physical; casting balletic hand movements as if practicing an incantation.

Over at the Walled Garden, Joanne Robertson, long-term collaborator of the enigmatic Dean Blunt, is just stunning. Murky, folky and with a vocal quality of pure hypnosis, hers is the sound of an artist prising itself up from the underground scene. Mary In The Junkyard follow as a late addition to the lineup; Saya Barbaglia’s strings shine, sometimes a gossamer whisper, at others striking a deep velvety chord. Despite some technical issues, the array of chosen tracks is fantastic, in particular Clari Freeman-Taylor’s performance of Jane, a gooey and gorgeous “love song to [her] period”.
One of the Rising Stage breakthroughs this year is Leeds-based dance-noise ensemble Bathing Suits. For them, the beat is gospel and the crowd a congregation; their dedication to the club is taken to feverish extremes with mangled guitars pushed towards frequencies of pain. Vocalist Freyja Blevins strips down and douses herself in water as some kind of ecstatic baptism before convulsing across the stage, as if she had stuck her hand in the decks and electrified herself. Over on the Mountain Stage, Four Tet expectantly draw a seismic crowd of balmy-evening boppers, doubtless borrowing a few listeners away from Celeste as the set shifts from ambient electronica to full-bodied bass.

Gwen – the new solo musical project created by Gwenllian Anthony, bassist and co-founder of Adwaith – opens Sunday at the Walled Garden, with her first ever gig. Muscular bass, roving rhythms and a vocal elasticity reminiscent of Dolores O’Riordan of The Cranberries make for a dynamic debut.
Later, 23-year-old indie wunderkind Dove Ellis takes the Mountain Stage. His debut album, released last winter, shyly glimmered with promise and now, performed in full glare of the sinking sun, seems to have reached full bloom. In its falsetto, Ellis’ vocal resemblance to Jeff Buckley is striking, while its unguarded ache carries shades of Cameron Winter. Even the high notes come barrelling out of him, and live, the album is even more vibrant, glazed with lush strings and smatterings of clarinet, all to a theatrical effect.

North Carolina outfit Wednesday tore into the Far Out stage, with frontwoman Karly Hartzman opening with the howling Reality TV Argument Bleeds before shifting gears into the country swing of Elderberry Wine. New York-based party duo Fcukers follow, bringing their relentless, non-stop party hedonism to a jammed-out crowd. Both Jackson Walker-Lewis and Shanny Wise are just effortlessly cool: “Are you ready to partyy?” Wise purrs in her feather-light lilt. Yes, yes we are, return a rapturous crowd.
Dazzling the stage for the festival’s final act, Wolf Alice bring something for everyone with a perfectly calibrated set. Opening bombastically with Bloom Baby Boom, we veer through the full-throated catharsis of Yuk Foo, before settling into beloved favourites like Don’t Delete The Kisses. Anna Calvi and Dove Ellis join for a rendition of ‘Sunday Light’, while a later cover of Mazzy Star’s Fade Into You draws out the smoky kinship between Ellie Rowsell and Hope Sandoval’s respective vocals. It all makes for a fittingly transcendent finale as the festival closes in a state of well-earned euphoria.

There are protein-packed cookies, bars and more, all promising to fuel the body and curb cravings without the guilt that comes with regular junk food. But are these snacks really as healthy as they look?
The reintroduction of the Street Scene service came at the start of this year after several years without a dedicated cleaning team operating specifically in Penarth.
Under the new initiative, the Vale of Glamorgan Council has agreed to use funding from a UK producers levy to support the service.
The scheme includes:
• Five new all-electric street cleaning wagons
• A dedicated weeding service
• Cleaning of road signs and street furniture
• A dedicated team working specifically in Penarth and the surrounding area
Residents in Penarth will have noticed the work of the team first hand in recent weeks, with lighting and benches on the Esplanade and seafront looking fresh, thanks to the work of this team.
These pieces of infrastructure were painted last year but the reformation of the Street Scene team means that they are regularly cleaned, providing a fresh look for the seafront.
As part of these changes, Penarth has seen the return of dedicated town centre street sweepers, alongside five new place-based teams covering towns and large villages across the Vale.
Each team is equipped with specialist vehicles and equipment to respond more quickly to litter, graffiti and spillages, as well as increased cleaning of road signs, street furniture and key transport routes.

Local councillors Anthony Ernest and Rhys Thomas have been particularly supportive of the initiative, asking residents to “let the Street Scene team know that they are doing a great job, when you pass them next around Penarth, with brushes in hand, as they smarten up your town.”
A spokesperson for the Vale of Glamorgan Council said: “Our Street Scene teams work hard year-round to keep Penarth looking its best, and their ongoing work and attention to detail make a real difference to the town centre and wider area.
“Our teams continue to carry out regular maintenance and upkeep across Penarth, helping to keep the town’s streets and public spaces looking clean, tidy and welcoming.”
Alongside this Street Scene cleaning, the fairy lights on the Esplanade are also back in action, following an issue with the power supply.
The Council spokesperson said: “We’re also pleased that the festoon lighting on the Esplanade has now been replaced following an issue with the power supply, helping to restore the ambience of the seafront in the evenings.
“Our Street Scene teams take great pride in keeping our public spaces clean, welcoming and well maintained, and we’re always pleased when their work is noticed and appreciated by residents and visitors.”
This long, hot summer has brought our third drought in five years and the driest July in almost two centuries. We’ve seen wildfires burn down homes and now face the risk of flash floods as we move into autumn. It should be a wake-up call for those saying that concerns about the climate crisis are overblown; that we should simply sit back and do nothing; or row back on attempts to restore our natural environment. As the new environment secretary, I won’t let that happen.
No one who has experienced this summer in the UK should be in any doubt that our climate is already changing. We know the future holds warmer, wetter winters, hotter, drier summers, and more extreme weather.
Honesty about what is required to deal with this changing reality is the least we should expect from our politicians. But last week we saw an astonishing response from Reform UK’s deputy leader, who told people to “enjoy” the scorching heatwaves and described this government’s efforts to combat the climate crisis as “arrogant”.
This response isn’t just ignorant; it is insulting.
Insulting to the firefighters risking their lives to fight blazes up and down the country. Insulting to the public whose lives are disrupted by scorching temperatures that were once a rare occurrence. And insulting to our farmers struggling to turn a profit as drought damages their crops.
This government’s response is not to throw in the towel and accept the chaos caused by extreme weather. It is to work to build and manage landscapes so they are resilient enough to withstand it and recover.
We know that healthy ecosystems retain more water and can help act as natural firebreaks. That resilience does not just protect us from the impacts of wildfire. It guards against flooding and pollution, too.
But some, including the Conservatives, have made the argument that rewilding lowers resilience to fire and that we should reverse restrictions on burning heather on our moors and peatlands. The exact opposite is true.
The evidence clearly shows that wetter, healthy peatlands hold more water and are less likely to develop species that are vulnerable to fires. The damage that has been done to these vital habitats by decades of burning has made them more vulnerable to wildfires in the long term, not less.
The solution to raging wildfires is not more burning of our countryside. It is to restore and better manage our environment.
Where rewilding has been prioritised, as at the National Trust’s Holnicote estate, you can clearly see the stark difference that it makes to the ability to withstand extreme weather. In areas where rivers and wetlands have been restored, the plants are green and blooming. Elsewhere, the ground is brown and dry.
As environment secretary, most of what comes across my desk is underpinned by the need to adapt to our changing climate – and this government is taking these challenges head on.
after newsletter promotion
That’s why the prime minister this month convened an emergency Cobra meeting, bringing together senior ministers, firefighters, weather forecasters and other experts to make sure we’re doing all we can to keep the country safe from wildfires. That includes a temporary ban on the sale of disposable barbecues.
We are spending almost £100m to strengthen the country’s capacity to respond to wildfires and extreme weather.
And we are backing our farmers during the drought with a £65m funding boost, rule changes to make building on-site reservoirs easier and the largest nature-friendly budget in history to make our farms more resilient to extreme weather and to protect our food security.
Adapting to our changing climate demands sustained attention, effort and investment. Others may simply deny the problem or stick their heads in the sand, but this government will rise to the challenge.
Endurance sports are on the rise, with attendance climbing at Welsh events like Peak Online Tri and the Dragon’s Back Race. Julia Bottoms finds out about the risks and rewards of pushing through the pain.
Suffering has never been so popular. From marathon running to Ironman triathlons and Hyrox, endurance sports are booming. More than 1.1 million people applied for this year’s London Marathon ballot – nearly twice as many as in 2024 – while Ironman has reported a 39% rise in athletes under 30.
That appetite extends to Wales too, with events such as the Peak Online Tri, a three-day endurance event founded by Devon-based entrepreneur Andrew Bowers, 43. Last year’s event, which totalled 94 miles of cycling, kayaking and running, raised £18,000, while this year the event will be held in Bannau Brycheiniog with proceeds going to Tŷ Hafan Children’s Hospice. The challenge is also dedicated to Bowers’ friend and former colleague, Paul Russell, who died last year after a struggle with mental health.
“I wanted to make my company have a core value of community engagement,” Bowers says. “I hit a niche in the market that people were looking for; they were looking for adventure and fun. They wanted to do a bit of fundraising, but they didn’t want it to be super competitive.”
Rob Cartmel, 59, experienced that first-hand when he took part last year. Having previously completed other events such as Hyrox, he says the bonds formed during the challenge made the event particularly special. “I remember at about 10 miles in, I was on the verge of calling my wife,” he says. “And one of the guys that was with me, Darren, dropped back and near enough pushed me along.”
Still, confusion or concern for those who make the active decision to go through with it might be understandable. “It’s hard to explain to people who don’t do it, but I enjoy being uncomfortable, to push myself and mentally switch off,” says Bowers.
In 2024, 35-year-old Danny Smith won the Cape Wrath Ultra – a 400km, eight-day expedition race through the Scottish Highlands. This September he’ll tackle Wales’ notorious Dragon’s Back Race, a 380km, six-day ascent widely regarded as one of the toughest mountain races in the world. “You can get into a really nice flow, a Zen state, where you feel you’re not necessarily thinking of anything,” he says. “When you do, you think of family and friends, or the people who’ve made sacrifices so you can do this very privileged thing.”

The attraction, he says, becomes increasingly psychological. “I almost feel when you continue to do more races, you’re trying to find out why you’re doing it in the first place, and why you want to keep pushing your body in that way.”
The risks, however, are real. This year’s Dragon’s Back Race has been overshadowed by the death of accomplished ultrarunner David Parrish – who won last year’s race, and Cape Wrath Ultra in 2023. In April, however, he died while attempting the Cape Wrath Trail alone, aiming to raise money for Mountain Rescue. “A lot of these events do also rely on mountain rescue and volunteers to support,” Smith notes.
Moreover, reaching the finish rarely comes without its aftereffects, which are mixed. Cartmel recalls finishing Peak Online last year: “I was so happy, but I couldn’t even lift my shirt off. And when my wife pulled my boots off, my toenails came out too. It was horrendous.”

Yet the experience continues to attract so many. While endurance sport has traditionally attracted middle-aged men, organisers are seeing growing interest from younger competitors and women. Cartmel says his 23-year-old daughter and her friend have already signed up for next year’s event, while Smith says: “One of the things I really do love about this sport is the fact you’re in the same race with men and women, young and old – you’re all in it together.”
Though Bowers is yet to announce details for next year’s event, there’s already a waiting list – and, despite Cartmel’s profession that he is “never doing it ever again,” he’s already found himself agreeing to it.

Off-roaders who caused serious damage to a Welsh beauty spot were caught through videos they shared on TikTok. Three men from Liverpool travelled to an area in north Wales in 4x4s and caused extensive damage to “rare and protected” habitats, a court has heard.
John Robinson, Michael Williams and Joseph Hodgson were part of a convoy that drove the vehicles from Liverpool to the Berwyn Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) in Denbighshire in June 2025. The group have now been convicted following an investigation by Natural Resources Wales (NRW).
Robinson and Williams were ordered to pay compensation and disqualified from driving for two months, while Hodgson did not attend court but was found guilty of criminal damage in his absence.
Wrexham Magistrates’ Court heard seven 4×4 vehicles travelled to Berwyn SSSI, a protected site under the Wildlife and Countryside Act, from Liverpool on June 1, 2025.
The vehicles travelled over 3km of privately owned land which NRW said left “huge tyre marks and damage in peat and blanket bog habitats” , both of which are rare and protected. NRW said the damage was obvious and avoidable given the vehicles’ size and the habitat’s fragility.
A gate lock was also broken with bolt croppers and signs were torn down to enable the vehicles to gain access, despite clear signage installed by landowners stating that private vehicles were not permitted.
TikTok accounts linked to the group showed images and videos placing the defendants and their vehicles at the site. The footage showed them causing serious damage to the peat and bog habitat and leaving deep tracks when entering the blanket bog.
The videos also revealed that two vehicles became stuck and were towed out by other members of the group, causing further harm to the habitat.
In an interview under caution Robinson admitted damaging the lock and signage to let the group enter together and accepted they drove onto the SSSI. Williams also accepted being part of the group that entered the site.
Hodgson chose not to co-operate with NRW or attend an interview. He said he had sold his vehicle, however, checks later showed that he was one of the people who had posted TikTok videos and he could be seen driving on the protected habitat.
At Wrexham Magistrates’ Court on Thursday Robinson pleaded guilty to criminal damage and Williams accepted damaging the ancient peat and blanket bog site at an earlier hearing.
Hodgson failed to attend court but was found guilty in his absence of criminal damage to the lock and gate sign preventing entry to the site. He had previously accepted that he had caused damage to the ancient peat-bog site. A warrant has been issued for his arrest to bring him to court for him to be sentenced.
Robinson was ordered to pay a total of £2,121.52, including £1,000 compensation for damage to a SSSI, ordered to pay £1,000 costs and disqualified from driving for two months starting immediately.
Williams was ordered to pay a total of £2,000, including £1,000 compensation for damage to a SSSI, ordered to pay costs of £1,000 and disqualified from driving for two months starting immediately.
Kirsty Roberts, for NRW, said: “Sites of Special Scientific Interest are designated and protected because they support the UK’s most important rare and fragile wildlife. Blanket bog is particularly sensitive. Once it is cut up by deep ruts, the water balance can be altered for years degrading habitat and reducing carbon storage.
“Illegal off-roading also impacts farmers and landowners who manage these privately owned working landscapes, disrupting farming operations, increasing costs, and undermining long-term conservation efforts.
“We take action where protected sites are damaged, and we urge everyone using the countryside to follow signs, stick to lawful routes, and help safeguard these nationally important places.
“We would also like to thank the landowners, walkers and volunteers who lawfully protect the environment, despite fear and abuse from those illegally driving and damaging this Welsh site of special scientific interest.”
NRW’s National Peatland Action Programme (NPAP) specialist team will undertake peatland restoration works, helping to return the site to a healthy condition.
PC Eryl Lloyd of the North Wales Police Rural Crime Team said: “Investigating damage to sites of special scientific interest (SSSI) and natural habitats is one of our priorities. We will continue to work with Natural Resources Wales to assist in their investigations and protect our wildlife.”
Any activity, including unauthorised use of vehicles, that causes damage to any Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) is an offence under the Wildlife and Countryside Act (as amended). NRW has powers to investigate and take enforcement action.
People can report illegal driving in the countryside and on protected sites to the police by calling 101 or to NRW on 0300 065 3000.
