Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood in Newtown
Strictly Come Dancing star Craig Revel Horwood will be bringing his national tour to Newtown for an evening of music, dance, drama and unforgettable stories.
Craig is most famous for being the hit BBC show's longest serving and only remaining original judge after its launch in 2004.
The Australian-born star is promising fans a night of 'fab-u-lous' glamour, behind-the-scenes tales from the Strictly set, and big songs from his album, titled 'Revelations: Songs Boys Don't Sing', at The Hafren theatre on May 16, 2026.
The undisputed king of the glitter ball released his first album last year which features ' Don't Rain On My Parade ' from Funny Girl, ' On My Own ' from Les Misérables and, amongst many others, ' Little Girls ' from Annie, a song that Craig has sung in many productions playing Miss Hannigan.
Craig said: 'Throughout my musical journey, I've had the privilege of performing as both a dancer and a singer in numerous musicals. However, this album holds a special place in my heart as I've had the opportunity to select songs that truly resonate with me.
'Each track on the album is traditionally associated with female singers, which presented a delightful challenge. I embraced this opportunity to record these songs, knowing that it might be my only chance to give them my own interpretation.
'The album is a perfect blend of drama, pathos, romance, and a touch of high camp. I've poured my heart and soul into every note, hoping that you will love each and every song.
Tickets go on sale Friday (June 27) from 10am. Regular tickets cost £36, VIP tickets are £54 and Meet and Greet tickets are £85.

Vicar lied to escape ‘exploitative' Gogglebox
A vicar has admitted lying to escape the 'exploitative' television show Gogglebox. The Rev Kate Bottley, who is now a BBC Radio 2 DJ, said she and her husband Graham told Channel 4 bosses in 2016 they wanted a temporary break while their daughter took her GCSEs. But the couple failed to mention they had no plans to return and did not appear on the show again. The 50-year-old vicar said she chose to leave the programme because it 'took over our life' and she was contractually barred from appearing on other TV shows. 'There was stuff coming in that I wanted to have a go at that I just wasn't able contractually to do,' she said. 'It so happened that it came around the time Ruby was doing her GCSEs so the excuse we gave was, 'We're going to take some time away while she does her exams'.' She has since become a familiar face on radio and television, which funds her Church of England ministry. 'I wish I'd known how much it took over our life for two and a half years,' she told the Walking The Dog podcast. 'It's reality TV, it's by its nature consensual exploitation. 'So they come into your home. They're filming in your home – it was quite intrusive really. But we consented to that intrusion, but I didn't fully know just how.' She revealed her children spent two and a half years sitting in their bedrooms every Tuesday and Thursday nights during filming. 'My kids didn't have friends round for a lot (of the time), didn't have help with their homework. Things like that. 'And we got paid very little. They paid, but I cooked two nights a week for the crew. I'm married to a man who won't eat takeaways, and I don't want to be filmed eating on camera so I was like, 'No, I'll cook'. 'There were casseroles and chillis. So all the money we got from it went on the electricity, the internet connection that they were using, and the food and being hospitable to six people in my home two nights a week. 'It's a vicarage as well, I should be hospitable. We should be sharing our home to people, and eating food together. It was a good two and a half years but we couldn't have done any more. It got to the point where we were just a bit overwhelmed.' She was vicar of Blyth, Scrooby and Ranskill in Nottinghamshire when she first appeared on Gogglebox in 2014. Producers had seen her star in a viral wedding video where she and the congregation started dancing halfway through, which amassed 9.3 million views on YouTube. She appeared on five series of Gogglebox until 2016 when she departed the programme.

Bake Off legend insists she 'won't be grateful' after TV show axed by BBC
Great British Bake Off icon Nadiya Hussain has spoken out following the response to her BBC show getting cancelled. Earlier this month, the 40-year-old star shared that the broadcaster would not be commissioning another cookery show with her, despite a 10-year working relationship. At the time, the GBBO series 6 winner thanked her supporters for 'being on this journey with [her]' and admitted that being dropped by the Beeb made her reassess 'where [she] wants to be'. Nadiya also vowed to go on working 'with people who believe in the voices of people like [her]', teasing more 'exciting' projects in the pipeline. The BBC, which housed Bake Off when Nadiya took part, later issued a statement, confirming: 'After several wonderful series, we have made the difficult decision not to commission another cookery show with Nadiya Hussain at the moment.' Wake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro's TV Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your show in the link we'll send you so we can get TV news tailored to you. And while the BBC is open to collaborating with her again in the future, Nadiya has now issued some fresh thoughts on how people have reacted to the news. Taking to her Instagram page tonight, the chef began in a lengthy video: 'I have received tons of messages since talking about my situation with the BBC, messages from people telling me to be grateful for the opportunity and be thankful for how far I've come. 'Now, my whole life, as a child in an immigrant household, I used to think I had to be grateful all the time because I watched my family, always grateful. Grateful for being let in, grateful for having work, even if underpaid, grateful for safety, even if it meant silence. 'Always grateful, even when I feel tired, lonely, or disrespected.' 'At first, gratitude felt right because it was instilled in me from a young age; it was all I saw,' she reflected. 'But after a while, it starts to get really heavy. Gratitude became something that I was expected to wear like a uniform. Anytime I voiced frustration or sadness or wanted more, I could feel the invisible pressure. 'Like, how dare you complain? Aren't you lucky just to be here? But here's what I've come to understand.' Nadiya went on to say firmly: 'I am allowed to feel more than just thankful. I am a human being, and I am allowed to feel angry when I'm treated unfairly. I'm allowed to want better for myself and for my family. I'm allowed to speak up. I'm allowed to exist fully. Complex, emotional, hopeful, sometimes critical, just like anyone else. 'So, gratitude has its place, but it shouldn't be a muzzle, like a dog. We didn't come here just to survive; we came here to live, to grow, to contribute, to belong, not as a guest, but as a person who has rights and dreams and dignity, just like everyone else.' The baker ended on a poignant, empowering note: 'So no, I won't always be grateful, and that doesn't make me ungrateful; it makes me human. That's what it does. 'So, I've got here through hard work, through determination, through talent, so no, I won't be grateful. I got here because I'm good at what I do. Just something to think about.' The comments section was soon flooded with messages of support, as the likes of TV presenter Fearne Cotton left a string of red hearts. Singer Annie Lennox wrote: 'One HUNDRED per cent!!!!!Thank you for sharing your lived experience and perspective!!! Gratitude should never become a silencing muzzle – as you SO rightly say!' 'So true. Thanks so much speaking up [sic]', commented Rahul Mandal, who won Bake Off in 2018. 'Exactly this! Well said', praised TV doctor Amir Khan. More Trending Since triumphing in the Bake Off tent 10 years ago, Nadiya has fronted several shows for the BBC. These have included Nadiya Bakes, Nadiya's Fast Flavours, and Nadiya's Simple Spices. While a new series has not been green-lit, bosses have assured fans that Nadiya remains 'a much-valued part of the BBC family'. Meanwhile, in her previous announcement video addressing the axe, Nadiya said that she is now focused on 'being [her] most authentic self' and working with those who 'believe in [her] talent'.

This Miami restaurant just ranked among the best pizza in the world
Miami's pizza scene has officially hit the world stage. La Natural, the beloved Little River pizzeria known for its funky vibes and sourdough pies, just landed at No. 35 on The Best Pizza Awards 2025 —the only Florida spot to crack the global top 50. The honor caps a remarkable journey for Venezuelan-born Javier Ramirez, a former corporate-finance exec who traded spreadsheets for sourdough. After launching Miami favorites like Alter and Palmar, Ramirez returned to a more personal passion: backyard pizza nights with his wife and creative partner, Andreina Matos. 'I started in my backyard. Every week I'd try a different flour ratio, a different method, until I came up with what we have today,' he told Resy earlier this year. That process evolved into La Natural, where each pie begins with a 48-hour naturally fermented dough that strikes the perfect balance between chew and char. Toppings skew both classic and playful—think basil-tomato, wild mushroom with parsley or burrata with chili oil—and pair perfectly with Matos's curated lineup of natural wines. '[Sourdough is] equal parts art, science and animal husbandry,' Ramirez said. 'You gotta pet it, feed it at the right time… it's like a science fair project.' But La Natural is more than just dough. Designed by Matos to evoke a breezy Mediterranean home, the space features a roll-up façade, ceiling fans and vinyl spinning Afrobeat and reggae. It's casual, convivial and always packed. Add in seasonal small plates from chef Diego Moya (of New York's Racines and Margot) and it's no wonder the restaurant also earned a spot in the Michelin Guide. This year's Best Pizza Awards ceremony—held in Milan, Italy on Wednesday, June 25—honored pizzaiolos from more than 30 countries. While Italian greats like Francesco Martucci and Franco Pepe topped the list, La Natural's inclusion underscores something bigger: World-class pizza doesn't have to come from Naples. Sometimes, it starts in a backyard in Miami.
