Kym Marsh to star in stage thriller at Bath's Theatre Royal

KYM Marsh is starring in the stage premiere of a reimagined 90s thriller. The former Coronation Street star will lead the cast of Single White Female during its UK tour, with the play running at Bath's Theatre Royal from May 19 to 23. The play is a modern adaptation of the 1992 film, written by Rebecca Reid. It tells the story of Allie, a recently divorced mother, who decides to advertise for a lodger to help make ends meet. The delightful Hedy offers her a lifeline, but as their lives intertwine, boundaries blur and a seemingly perfect arrangement begins to unravel. Ms Marsh said: "I remember being totally gripped by the movie when I first saw it in the cinema and could never have imagined back then that I'd be starring in the world premiere of its life on stage. "Get ready to be thrilled, shocked and entertained and watch out for those stiletto heels." Tickets available soon via the Theatre Royal Bath website.

Sara Cox speaks about her farmer dad who as police step up patrols around his farm

Radio 2 presenter Sara Cox has spoken fondly of her dad, who is still 'farming now' as police step up patrols around his farm. Sara, who grew up on the farm in Little Lever, was speaking on 'Table Manners' podcast hosted by Jessie and Lennie Ware this week - as police said they were increasing their presence around her childhood home. The Bolton News reported earlier this week that police had issued a plea to parents to ensure they knew where their children were after young thugs had been causing damage during the evening and over weekends at Grundy Fold Farm. The farm is owned by Sara's dad Leonard Cox, 85. (Image: Sara has previously said she "absolutely loved" living on the farm. READ MORE: Police warn parents after damage caused at Sara Cox's dad's farm Sara Cox on her roots as she speaks about new book Charities' praise for Peter Kay and Sara Cox Q&A fundraiser Speaking on the podcast Sara said: "He farms Hereford cattle - brown and white ones - they are beautiful very kind cows. "His cows have a great life they have a high welfare which has always been really important to him." Though she revealed his mobility "isn't great" after a bull stepped on his foot 20 years ago. She said: "My dads mobility isn't great - long story short he had a bull called Ferrari that stepped on his foot a few years ago. She said Len was loading a bull - which he had just sold onto a lorry - when it accidentally stepped onto his foot. Sara said: "He didn't want to show that the bull had stood on his foot so he tried to style it out a little bit. "Because he is a farmer, he didn't get it looked at or sorted so now he just hobbles around - his foot is now burgered. "Fast forward 20 years, he is still hobbling around but his foot is getting worse so my brother goes up who lives local and does so much to help him out." Her brother Robert calls him a "doorstep farmer" as he shouts things for him to do from the ledge. (Image: Earlier this week GMP Bolton officers urged parents to ensure their children are not hanging around the farm area - parents have told they will discourage them from doing so. A spokesperson for Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said: "We have had a number of reports regarding youths causing criminal damage at Grundy Fold farm in the evenings and weekends. "We would like to nip this in the bud before the summer holidays. "If you are aware that your child hangs around this location then please discourage them. "Further patrols will be made around the farm due to the remoteness and vulnerability of the location." In response to the message, residents took to social media to share their concern with one saying "they should be forced to do community service". The farm has been the target of vandals in the past – who started a fire there in 2019. At the time Sara spoke out against the "gang of young idiots" on social media at the time. She said: "Huge thanks to @FireBolton crew for helping my dad when a gang of young idiots set fire to his haylage, destroying it. "Farms aren't playgrounds for bored kids – police haven't been able to help, struggling to find a solution." She said that she just wanted her dad and his property to be kept safe.

'I miss Carrs Pasties': Bolton chef who helped set up one of London's top restaurants

A Bolton-born chef has become a social media sensation as co-head chef at one of London's hottest restaurants - Fallow. Will Murray, 32, from Astley Bridge, said he had a love for cooking from a young age - but had an untraditional start to his career. He went to Thornleigh Salesian College, where he chose to do work experience at a local butchers, to find out more about the butchering process. He said: 'I did work experience at Carr's Butchers on Blackburn Road – I used to buy all my meat from him and I just wanted to learn more about how it actually works.' However, when he went off to study at the University of Birmingham – his choice of degree was far removed from the culinary world. He said: 'I did classical literature and civilisation – which was just completely useless for my later career – but it means I'm quite good at researching.' Will worked alongside his studies. Will Murray (Image: Fallow) He said: 'I was working in a few pubs and bars – it was dodgy hospitality at best – I was just having a good time, honestly, and working to pay for it. 'I got away from cooking and went to uni – but after it I just got started as a pot washer in an Italian restaurant in Sheffield. 'I slowly worked my way up to Michelin-star restaurants – and moved down to London.' Eventually, Will ended up working at Heston Blumenthal's restaurant, Dinner, where he met fellow chef Jack Croft. The pair would go on to found Fallow, which would make waves on the London scene when it first opened in 2020. The restaurant has a focus on sustainability – using seasonal, local British ingredients and making sure to use every part of an ingredient. Will Murray (left) with co-head chef Jack Croft (right) (Image: Fallow) But Fallow has also used social media to boost its success – and boasts over a million subscribers on their YouTube channel. Will said: 'In short, social media is very important to restaurants, simple as that. 'In Fallow, a conservative estimate would be that about 60 per cent of our bookings come from social media – but we obviously have returning customers. 'But it's all well and good having good social media – but if the kitchen isn't running at its best – then the people won't come back. 'The hardest part of social media is we have to create new dishes – we're always working on them. 'The hard part is creating the dishes and the easy part is creating the social media.' However, now that the brand has grown so big – with two other restaurants Fowl and Roe under his belt too – managing has become a bigger part of his role. Will said: 'We try to build a strong team of people – we have 320 staff including our kitchen teams and we have to manage all of that. 'I'm definitely not cooking on the grill like I used to every day, but we have got lots of new projects that we're working on.' Will estimates around 60 per cent of Fallow's bookings come from social media (Image: Fallow) Will gave his advice for any aspiring chefs wondering how to break into the culinary world. He said: 'I think a good bit of advice I got given was that you can always cook down, but you can never cook up. 'So for me, I didn't want to cook complicated food, but I got lots of experience in two Michelin starred restaurants. 'Another piece of advice is that staff are in really short supply these days – so it's actually quite easy to get a job. 'When you're in – make it your priority to be the best in that kitchen – be the first one in and the last one to leave.' Have a story? Get in touch at Will said that there's been a shift away from London when it comes to high dining recently – and if that had been the case when he was younger, he may not have left. He said: 'Manchester has got some great restaurants now – if that was the case back in the day I might not have left Manchester. 'I might not have even left Bolton because it's so close.' Now with two Michelin starred restaurants – Skof and mana – Will says it's a great place for young chefs to learn their craft. He said: 'You could get two years experience there before moving down – but it's not all about London any more. 'It's moving around which is nice.' Will Murray (left) said he might have stayed in Manchester if the restaurant scene was as good as it is now 20 years ago (Image: Fallow) READ MORE: Heartbreaking tributes to owner of popular Bolton chippy at funeral READ MORE: Memory of Westhoughton's Tom Newton lives on in the town READ MORE: Bolton baton twirler to represent England on world stage Will said that, although Bolton wasn't a culinary inspiration for him, he has fond memories of two restaurants in particular. He said: 'There was a restaurant on Bradshawgate called Tiggis and if you ever did anything good at school and had something to celebrate – it would usually be there. 'Another one is The Strawbury Duck – near the reservoir. 'But the two things I miss most about Bolton are a pint of Flat Cap and a Carrs Pasty!'
