BBC Strictly Come Dancing announces River City star as 12th contestant to join line up
Neighbours legend and former River City star Stefan Dennis is the latest name to be added to the star-studded BBC Strictly line up Neighbours legend Stefan Dennis is the 12th celebrity joining the new series of Strictly Come Dancing. After announcements earlier today (Thursday) confirming the ninth and 10th stars who are set to take to the BBC ballroom later this year - Thomas Skinner and Vicky Pattison - the Paul Robinson icon was added to the mix this afternoon. Stefan is an actor best known for playing the fan favourite Erinsborough stalwart in the longest running drama series in Australian television history. He created the role for the first episode in 1985 and appeared in over 6,000 episodes during the 40 years that the show was on air. Prior to joining Neighbours, Stefan worked extensively on Australian television, with roles on numerous shows such as Prisoner, The Henderson Kids, The Sullivans, Young Doctors and Sons and Daughters, to name a few. He has also appeared in The Bill, Dream Team and Casualty as well as starring in the West End musical Blood Brothers. From 2002-2003, Stefan appeared in Scotland's own soap River City, where he played evil Dr Marcus Mackenzie, who ended up being stabbed to death by a woman he tried to attack. On joining Strictly, Stefan said: 'This is an opportunity for me to once again learn to step out of my comfort zone in the world of television. Looking forward to the sparkle and reaching for the sky.' After months of speculation, the official line-up announcements kicked off on Monday, with Gladiators star Harry Aikines-Aryeetey being the first name revealed. The news that Stefan has signed up was revealed on ITV's This Morning earlier today. Love Island champion Dani Dyer will also take part, as well as Doctor Who actress Alex Kingston, footballer Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and YouTube star George Clarke.

Space NK's Glow Edit Is Its Best One Yet, And It's Perfect For Your Next Holiday
When it comes to nailing summer-ready make-up, the secret lies in your skincare routine. With so many products to choose from, selecting the combination to give you an envious glow can feel like a minefield. If your eyes are glazing over at the thought of your next beauty haul, let us let you in on a cult-followed clever solution: Space NK's beauty edits. These collections have a special place in my heart; as an ex-beauty advisor, I look forward to the launch of any limited-edition kits to discover new beauty favourites and replenish my trusty old faithfuls, and I constantly recommend them to friends and family stuck in a skincare rut. A favourite of beauty aficionados, the expertly curated kits are total crowd pleasers (I loved the everyday make-up kit and the wedding beauty edit, FYI), but the brand's latest release might just take the top spot for me. When I got my hands on The Summer Glow Edit, £65, I felt like a kid on Christmas Day. If it's just-stepped-off-a-plane-from-Bali skin you're craving from some of the most exciting brands in the business, look no further. 1. Shop: Space NK The Summer Glow Edit Pros Great value for money Includes viral, sold-out faves Cons First up, Vida Glow's 6-Day Collagen is a great way to get the glow from within. It allows you to ingest your glow-boosting ingredients by adding them to any beverage. Cleanse with Tata Harper's Regenerating Cleansing to encourage cell turnover, and follow that up with vitamin C-rich products (the MVP for radiance) like Tatcha's new Brightening Serum and Sunday Riley's CEO Afterglow. One product that I hadn't tried previously, but has quickly become a new favourite, is the Innisfree Glow Jelly Cream. I am all for an illuminating moisturiser, and this one ticks all the boxes. I was thrilled to see the viral Space NK shimmer body oil included in this edit, too. As soon as it launched, it immediately became noteworthy, with many beauty fans comparing it to Sol's version, but for a fraction of the price. Finally, just when you think you can't get enough radiance, you'll find a glorious highlight stick from Westman Atelier in shade Nectar, which reviewers agree is the icing on the cake. Worth £158, you can snap up this holiday-ready edit for just £65, but you'd better move fast, as we're predicting it won't be around for too long. Head to Space NK to shop.

‘They're rowdy. They're vibing. I rip my shirt off': the exploding career of Hanumankind, India's hottest rapper
Two weeks ago, halfway through his first ever UK show, Hanumankind instructed the crowd to mimic him by hopping to the right then to the left, back and forth, in unison. But the rapper from India slipped and fell, limping to the end of the gig in evident pain, kept upright by his DJ and inspired by the audience's singalong familiarity with his catalogue. 'We were ready to have a good time,' he sheepishly grins from an armchair at his record label's offices three days later. It turns out he has torn a ligament. 'It was a battle of internal turmoil. The show was like a fifth of what it was meant to be, but I gave it my all. London has a beautiful energy which gave me strength.' Even without the leg injury, the 32-year-old star, who was born Sooraj Cherukat, has reached a testing threshold in his short, explosive career. His tracks Big Dawgs and Run It Up, helped by action-movie music videos, have made him one of the most talked-about MCs in the world. A$AP Rocky and Fred Again are among his recent collaborators. Indian prime minister Narendra Modi even invited Cherukat to perform at an event in New York last September. But as a rare south Asian face in globally popular rap, he feels a certain responsibility. 'The past year has been hard,' he says. 'I'm trying to navigate through it.' What's more, although he expresses a deep pride about life in India, 'a lot of things are off. There is a mob mentality. There's a lot of divisiveness because of religion, background, caste. It doesn't sit well with me. I'm in a unique space to change the way people can think within my country.' Born in Malappuram, Kerala, which he remembers as a 'green, beautiful environment', Cherukat spent his childhood following his father's work abroad, from Nigeria to Saudi Arabia to Britain. 'We'd traverse different countries and I'd sing songs in whatever language I was picking up,' he says. 'Wherever I went, I had to get involved and be ready to leave. I learned to connect with people. That's why the power of the word is so important to me.' At the age of 10, he landed in Houston, Texas, and found a rare stability. It was the early 2000s and the city was an engine room for rap innovation. Cherukat's set his accent to a southern drawl. Already a fan of heavy metal – which makes sense given his grungy, rockstar leanings today – he became hooked on the local chopped-and-screwed subgenre pioneered by DJ Screw, Three 6 Mafia and Project Pat. In his teens he was 'burning CDs full of beats, riding around smoking blunts and hitting hard freestyles'. He returned to south India just before hitting 20. 'The only place I had roots,' he says. He completed a university degree in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, before working a corporate job in the tech hub of Bengaluru. Seeing rap as 'a party thing, a way to de-stress and stay connected to the art form', he performed at open-mic nights, softening his US accent and perfecting his stage show for an Indian audience. 'Friends would come to watch and be like, 'Dude, you're not bad. You should lock in.'' So he did. At the end of 2019, Cherukat played his first festival: NH7 Weekender in Pune, Maharashtra. The crowd went wild, quickly morphing from a small handful into a packed moshpit. 'They're rowdy and they're fucking vibing,' he says. 'I rip my shirt off. I'm like, 'OK, I can do this!'' He quit his job and began plotting his next move, filling notebooks with lyrics throughout the pandemic. These are a blend of cheek and grit delivered with a flow that keeps respawning at different speeds and scales. Soon, Cherukat was signed by Def Jam India. Part of a movement to reject the remnants of British colonialism in favour of local expression, the proud, rebellious patchwork of Indian hip-hop encompasses the vast country's 'hundreds of languages, each as deeply rooted as the next', Cherukat explains. 'Someone who speaks Hindi or another regional language will give you a vast amount of depth and detail in what they're doing.' His decision to rap mostly in English therefore came with risks of being perceived as inauthentic at home, but it has certainly helped his global crossover. Besides, he has found other ways to communicate a homegrown aesthetic. Run It Up marches to the beat of Keralan chenda drums, while its video features martial artists from disparate corners of India. Cherukat performed it with a band of drummers at Coachella festival, his debut US gig. 'Most people don't know what is going on in my country,' he says. 'Maybe I can open up some doors, open up some eyes, break out of these bubbles and stereotypes.' Although not religious, Cherukat has a divine figure woven into his performing name. Over recent years, Hanuman, the simian-headed Hindu god of strength and devotion, has been employed everywhere from the car stickers of hypermasculine Indian nationalism to the bloody, satirical critique of Dev Patel's 2024 thriller, Monkey Man. Where does Hanumankind fit into this: traditionalist or progressive? 'I need to make music for myself first,' he says simply. 'But when you have a platform, you can bring about change through your words and actions.' Some fans were disappointed that he accepted the New York invitation from Modi – whose Hindu nationalist government has been accused of democratic backsliding and Islamophobia. Cherukat has defended his appearance, describing it as 'nothing political … We were called to represent the nation and we did that.' But today he claims his 'political ideology is pretty clear' to anyone who has been following his career. In one of his earliest singles, 2020's Catharsis, he rails against systemic corruption, police brutality and armed suppression of protest. 'I'm not just trying to speak to people who already agree with me,' he says. 'I'm trying to give people who are otherwise not going to be listening a chance to be like, 'OK, there is some logic to what he's saying.'' Monsoon Season, his new mixtape, is just out. It features the mellow likes of Holiday – performed on the massively popular YouTube series Colors – as well as raucous collaborations with US rap luminaries Denzel Curry and Maxo Kream. It is less a narrative album, more a compilation, with songs gathered over the years before the spotlight shone on him. 'I have a lot of memories of coming into Kerala during the monsoon,' says Cherukat of the project's name. 'You can have days where things are absolutely reckless, flooded, out of control. There can be days where you get introspective and think about life. There are days where you love the rain: it feels good, there's that smell in the air when it hits the mud, the soil, the flowers. Your senses are heightened. You can fall in love with that. Or it can ruin all your plans and you hate it.' Cherukat's knee will take some time to recover before he embarks on a North American tour later this year. It's clear he needs a break: not just to heal, but to continue processing fame, adapt to its changes and return to the studio. 'I'm still adjusting,' he says. 'The attention, the conversation, the responsibility, the lifestyle, all this shit. Things have been a little haywire. So I just want to go back to the source – and make music.' Monsoon Season is out now on Capitol Records/Def Jam India
