During week four of Strictly Come Dancing, all the 13 remaining couples tried their best to impress judges with a variety of dance performances, from emotional Viennese waltzes to an intense paso doble.

Layton Williams, who is a TV and musical theatre star, and his professional partner Nikita Kuzmin, took the top spot on the leaderboard this week by scoring 37 marks. The duo performed cha-cha to Whitney Houston’s 2009 song “Million Dollar Bill.”

Closely behind them were former EastEnders star Nigel Harman and his professional partner Katya Jones. The pair performed a salsa and received an overall score of 33.

Channel 4 broadcaster Krishnan Guru-Murthy and his professional dancer partner Lauren scored 28. They performed on “Paso Doble to By The Way” by the Red Hot Chilli Peppers.

Praising his sincere act, a social media user commented, “Krishnan is slowly becoming more of a dancer every week! You can really tell he puts all his heart and soul into his performances!”

At the other end of the scale was comedian Eddie Kadi and his partner Karen Hauer, with 24 out of 40.

At the very bottom was Paralympian Jody Cundy and his professional partner Jowita Przystał, who received a score of 19 for their salsa.

Rami Malek and Indira Varma star in The Old Vic’s Oedipus adaptation

The Old Vic in London has unveiled its latest production, a fresh adaptation of Sophocles’ timeless tragedy Oedipus, featuring Academy Award winner Rami Malek and Olivier Award winner Indira Varma in the lead roles. The play, which runs until March 29, 2025, promises to be a gripping reimagining of the ancient Greek tale, blending drama, dance, and music under the co-direction of Matthew Warchus and choreographer Hofesh Shechter.

Malek takes on the role of Oedipus, the king determined to save his city from a devastating plague by uncovering the truth behind the murder of his predecessor, King Laius. Varma plays Jocasta, Oedipus’ wife, whose connection to the unfolding tragedy adds layers of complexity to the story. The production also features a strong supporting cast, including Nicholas Khan as Creon, Joseph Mydell as the Corinthian, Cecilia Noble as Tiresias, and Nicholas Woodeson as the Shepherd. The Hofesh Shechter Company’s dancers bring a different energy to the stage, strengthening the emotional intensity of the whole narrative.

One of the most talked-about moments was the long-awaited Nirvana reunion. Dave Grohl, Pat Smear, and Krist Novoselic performed together for the first time in years, joined by a rotating lineup of guest vocalists, including St. Vincent, Kim Gordon, Joan Jett, and Grohl's daughter, Violet.

"I didn't know what sexy meant": Jennifer Love Hewitt reflects on being sexualized as a teenager

Jennifer Love Hewitt recently reflected on her early years in Hollywood, revealing how she was sexualised as a teenager without fully understanding it at the time. In a candid conversation on Mayim Bialik’s 'Breakdown' podcast, the 45-year-old actress shared that at just 16, she was subjected to inappropriate comments from grown men about her body, particularly her breasts. These remarks were often made openly in interviews, which Hewitt now finds disturbing, given the context of her age.

Hewitt, who became famous after starring in I Know What You Did Last Summer in 1997, recalled how the attention on her physical appearance increased after she appeared on the cover of 'Maxim' in 1999. Men would approach her, mentioning how they took her magazine on trips, but at the time, she didn’t fully grasp the sexual undertones of these comments. “I didn’t know what that meant,” she admitted, adding that it felt strange to be labelled a sex symbol before even knowing what being "sexy" meant.
