Niall Horan surprises Off Campus star Ella Bright with secret duet as fans celebrate unexpected collaboration

Niall Horan has delighted fans with another unexpected collaboration, this time joining Off Campus actress and singer Ella Bright, who plays music major Hannah Wells in the hit Prime Video series. The former One Direction star secretly recorded vocals for Bright’s rendition of the classic “Baby Now That I Found You,” transforming the solo recording into a duet without her knowledge.

The surprise arrives during a particularly busy period for Horan. Earlier this month, he joined country star Thomas Rhettas a special guest for two stadium shows, including a performance at Hersheypark Stadium. During the appearances, Horan and Rhett performed their collaboration “Old Tricks” before treating audiences to a surprise performance of One Direction’s “Steal My Girl.” The crossover performances highlighted Horan’s versatility and were met with enthusiastic reactions from concertgoers, with clips quickly circulating across social media.

In a video shared on his official Instagram account, Horan introduced the latest surprise with a heartfelt message before Bright heard the finished track for the first time.

“You don’t know this yet, but you’re about to listen to our version of ‘Baby Now That I Found You,’” Horan said.

The duet is featured on Off Campus: The Mixtape (Extra Credit) and is set for release alongside the expanded soundtrack.

Bright’s reaction quickly won over fans as she listened in disbelief before smiling and revealing she had no idea Horan had been invited to add his vocals, making the moment a genuine surprise.

Fans across social media have responded enthusiastically to the collaboration, with many praising the natural harmony between Horan and Bright’s voices and calling the duet one of the soundtrack’s most anticipated releases. Several listeners compared the song’s warm acoustic feel and heartfelt delivery to Horan’s 2017 debut solo single, “This Town,” a track that remains a fan favourite. Others applauded Horan for supporting an emerging artist and introducing the duet in such a thoughtful way.

The collaboration adds another memorable chapter to Horan’s recent run of performances and musical partnerships. Following weeks of anticipation sparked by their live debut, “Baby Now That I Found You” has now been officially released on all major streaming platforms as part of the Off Campus soundtrack. Fans have praised the duo’s effortless vocal chemistry and emotional delivery, with many already calling the song one of the soundtrack’s standout tracks. The release has further fueled excitement among listeners, who have welcomed the studio version after its well-received live performances.

    UK prosecutors urge US court to deny bail to Andrew and Tristan Tate ahead of extradition hearing

    British prosecutors have urged a US court to keep social media influencer Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan in custody ahead of a crucial detention hearing, warning the pair pose a severe flight risk and could intimidate witnesses if released. The brothers, who hold dual British and American citizenship, were arrested in Miami on 19 July following a formal extradition request by the United Kingdom. They face a total of 59 charges in the UK, including rape, human trafficking, and offences relating to indecent images of a child. In legal filings submitted ahead of Thursday’s bail hearing in the Southern District of Florida, the UK Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) argued through US prosecutors that the brothers possess the financial resources and global influence needed to evade justice. Prosecutors highlighted the vulnerability of complainants in the case, noting that several alleged victims reported being assaulted and threatened with weapons. The CPS also cited previous social media posts by Andrew Tate in which he mocked law enforcement and hinted at methods to avoid arrest. Lawyers representing the Tate brothers acknowledged that granting bail during international extradition proceedings is rare, but insisted their clients have shown no intention of fleeing prosecution. The brothers were previously arrested in Romania in 2022 on human trafficking charges, though Romanian courts lifted travel restrictions in early 2025, allowing them to travel to the United States. If the US courts rule in favour of extradition, the final decision to surrender the brothers to British authorities will rest with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio. If convicted in the UK, both men could face life imprisonment.

    Yemen launches counter-operation against Houthis a…

    Yemen’s internationally recognised government forces have launched a military counter-operation against the Houthis following a series of missile and drone attacks on military positions in the provinces of Marib and Hadramout, according to a military spokesman. Yemeni army spokesman Majed al-Nazili said the government forces had begun responding to the attacks and would not tolerate threats against civilians, troops or military positions. “We will give a decisive military response to the threats facing the Yemeni people and armed forces,” al-Nazili said, according to the statement cited by local media. The announcement comes after Houthi forces carried out a series of attacks on government-aligned military camps in Marib and Hadramout. Recent reports said at least 30 Yemeni government soldiers were killed and 15 others wounded in the strikes. The escalation has raised fresh concerns over the fragile security situation in Yemen, where large-scale fighting had significantly declined following the UN-mediated truce that began in April 2022. Although the truce formally expired later that year, the country avoided a full return to nationwide warfare for an extended period. The latest violence is being closely watched because Marib remains strategically important to Yemen’s government, while Hadramout is a major eastern province with significant military and economic importance. The United Nations has repeatedly warned that renewed military escalation could undermine diplomatic efforts and worsen Yemen’s already severe humanitarian crisis. The UN Security Council has stressed the need for restraint and a Yemeni-led political process as the most viable route toward a lasting settlement. The latest developments could therefore mark a dangerous turning point if the government’s promised counter-operation leads to sustained fighting. For millions of Yemenis already affected by years of conflict, renewed hostilities could bring further displacement, economic hardship and pressure on essential services. With both sides now trading threats and military strikes, attention is turning to whether the latest confrontation remains limited—or develops into a broader escalation across Yemen.

    Four Antonello da Messina masterpieces stolen from…

    Four prized works by renowned 15th-century Italian painter Antonello da Messina have been stolen from a museum in Messina, Sicily, in what officials have described as a devastating cultural loss. The theft reportedly took place on Saturday evening at the Regional Museum of Messina, with the criminals exploiting the large crowds and security challenges surrounding Italy’s Ferragosto national holiday and the city’s La Vara religious celebrations. According to reports, the thieves managed to bypass the museum’s security system before breaking into a protected display case and removing four wooden panels painted by Antonello da Messina, one of the most influential artists of the Italian Renaissance. Among the stolen pieces are three of the five surviving panels from the celebrated Polyptych of St Gregory, regarded as one of Antonello’s most significant works. The paintings are considered exceptionally valuable because of their rarity and historical importance. Museum director Marisa Mercuri described the incident as a “very serious and significant loss”, stressing that the works hold immeasurable cultural, artistic and symbolic value not only for Messina but for Sicily as a whole. Authorities are investigating the theft and efforts are underway to locate the missing masterpieces and recover them as quickly as possible. The disappearance has raised fresh concerns over the protection of priceless cultural heritage and security at museums housing historic works of art.

    Receding Danube River reveals World War II remains in Budapest

    A severe drought across Europe has caused water levels in the Danube River to drop to record lows, exposing the remains of two World War II German soldiers and military equipment near central Budapest. The discovery was initially reported by a passerby who spotted a motorcycle handlebar protruding from rocks along the riverbank near Batthyany Square. Recovery operations conducted by the German War Graves Commission alongside Hungarian military historians unearthed a largely intact Wehrmacht motorcycle, identified as a DKW NZ 350-1 model, along with anti-tank mines that prompted a brief deployment of bomb disposal personnel. The site yielded well-preserved personal items, including intact identification tags, a wedding ring, and a Kuban shield combat decoration. Experts noted that a combination of riverbed mud and petroleum slowed the decay of the artifacts and human remains over the past eight decades. Analysis of the identification tags revealed that one soldier served in the Wehrmacht while the other belonged to the Waffen-SS. Because both halves of the soldiers’ identification tags remained intact rather than split, as was customary when casualties were processed, investigators confirmed that neither death was officially recorded during the war. The commission has initiated bone analysis and archival checks to identify the deceased before their eventual burial at the German war cemetery in Budaors.
