Put candles and cigarettes out properly
Make sure exits are kept clear
Keep door and window keys where everyone can find them

Strictly Come Dancing 'signs up Doctor Who star' as rehearsals begin
Doctor Who star Alex Kingston is the latest celebrity to be rumoured to have signed up to star in Strictly Come Dancing as rehearsals have started to commence Doctor Who actress Alex Kingston has reportedly signed up to join this year's line-up of Strictly Come Dancing. According to reports, the highly acclaimed actress, 62, will join reality TV star Dani Dyer, former Coronation Street actress Helen Flanagan, Apprentice star Thomas Skinner and Neighbours actor Stefan Dennis. Olympic gold medallist Sir Mo Farah, presenter Stacey Solomon and Vicky Pattison, who made her name on the back of Geordie Shore, are also rumoured to take part. As yet the BBC have not confirmed the official celebrity line-up. This comes after Sharon Osbourne breaks down in tears at Ozzy's funeral in heartbreaking scenes. A TV insider told The Sun: "She's a real talent and will add a lot, it's always exciting to have a prestigious actress on the cast." They added: "It's the first time Alex has done a reality show of any kind, but she's a huge fan of the show and couldn't resist the opportunity." The Mirror has reached out to Strictly Come Dancing for comment. Alex became a firm favourite of Doctor Who fans after landing the role of River Song and her character was part of David Tenant, Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi's stints on the sci-fi show. Her TV career has spanned many years as she has starred in US medical drama ER, period dramas The Fortunes and Misfortunes of Moll Flanders, Arrow and A Discovery of Witches. Alex has made no secret of her love of the show and expressed that she would love to take part, similar to that of Sarah Hadland. In 2019, Alex said: "Sarah Hadland and I talked about how much we'd like to do Strictly Come Dancing. Then I discovered she's a trained ballet dancer. 'Hang on a minute! That's not fair!' So, I can't do it on a season when she is on it!" Another star that has signed up to the BBC show is model Ellie Goldstein who plans to change the perspective of people with Down's Syndrome. Ellie has been a model since the age of 14 years old and has made history by landing the cover of Vogue and inspiring a Barbie doll. In an interview with Metro, she explained: "People like me lead to change slowly in the industry.' 'People need to know about me and my condition. We need more disability representation out there." Lead judge Shirley Ballas has expressed her excitement for the return of the show this year. While on This Morning, she said: "We've got a cast, I know I say it every year, but we've got the cast of all casts. It's gonna be absolutely off the charts." Shirley will be joined by fan favourites Motsi Mabuse, Craig Revel Horwood and Anton Du Beke.

Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz renew wedding vows amid bitter family feud
Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz have renewed their wedding vows just three years after they first tied the knot amid the ongoing feud with David and Victoria Beckham It has been months since news emerged that the Beckham family were going through a troubled time as Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz noticeably distanced themselves from the clan. But it looks as though the public family feud has done little to dampen the couple's love for one another as they have just renewed their vows after three years. A source close to the couple reportedly confirmed the news of their renewed nuptials to the People magazine. The source said: "This is a moment to celebrate their love and commitment, and to create a meaningful memory together." This comes after the touching moment Lucy Bronze consoles rumoured girlfriend and rival Ona Batlle. Brooklyn, 26, who is the eldest son of David and Victoria Beckham, first started dating the Hollywood heiress in 2019 and announced they were engaged the following year. In what has been described as one of the most expensive weddings to date, the couple became husband and wife in April 2022, at Nicola's sprawling family estate in Florida. It was only a few months ago that the aspiring chef posted on social media to reflect on the moment he proposed to Nicola. Sharing a picture of them together, with Brooklyn kissing Nicola's cheek, he captioned the post saying: "It's been 5 years since I asked this beautiful woman to marry me xx best decision ever x I love you so much." At the time of their third wedding anniversary, neither Victoria or David publicly wished their son or daughter-in-law a happy anniversary. The growing feud between them appeared even more evident as neither the former Spice Girl or England footballer liked or commented on Brooklyn's anniversary post. Further fuelling speculation that the rift had impacted Brooklyn's siblings, it was reported that none of his brothers, Romeo and Cruz had mentioned anything in respect of their brother's anniversary. Back in April, Brooklyn posted a throwback picture of him and his wife on their wedding day and captioned the message saying: "Happy 3 year anniversary baby x I love you with all my heart x I'm so lucky I get to spend everyday with you and wake up to your beautiful face everyday you are my world x I love you so much Nicola xxxxxxx." The family feud appeared to gather pace when Brooklyn failed to attend his father's 50th birthday party in May, which, according to reports, left David heartbroken. It also emerged that neither Nicola or Brooklyn were following his brother's Instagram accounts. But according to the publication, sources revealed that it was in fact Cruz and Romeo who have blocked Brooklyn.
