Delta shocks commuters with train station piano concert
Aussie songstress Delta Goodrem has surprised commuters at London's St Pancras International Station with an impromptu performance on Wednesday. Jumping on the piano — which was gifted to the station by English composer Andrew Lloyd Webber in late 2024 — the 40-year-old treated onlookers to several hits from her second album Mistaken Identity as she celebrated the project's 20th anniversary. The album symbolised the star's triumphant re-emergence following a battle with Hodgkin's Lymphoma at just 18. Having clearly lost none of her powerful vocal range, the girl who was 'born to try' painted smiles on the faces of travellers as the echoing of classics Wings, Predictable, Hearts on the Run, and other hits rang out through the cavernous concourse.

I'm honoured to share a few songs with you while I'm here in the UK.' With Sir Elton John first gifting a Yamaha piano to the station in 2016, the transient landmark has become a hub for talented stars to ply their craft — including Alicia Keys, Nora Jones, Jeff Goldblum, John Legend, and Sir Rod Stewart.

'Our public pianos have become a stage for extraordinary talent and unforgettable moments, and Delta's visit was no exception. It's moments like these that make St. Pancras a unique cultural hub for London, bringing music and joy to all who pass through.' Dressed in a black leather jacket and pants to contrast with her white heels, some fans may have clocked Goodrem's imposing diamond ring worn since her engagement to Aussie guitarist Matthew Copley in 2023. However, the talent was not seen complimenting it with the diamond band that she had reportedly rocked during her two sold-out Hackney Empire shows in London earlier this month, which prompted speculation the couple had wedded in secret.

In pics: The Irish steal the show on BAFTAs red carpet
The Irish stole the show on the BAFTAs red carpet on Sunday night with the likes of Nicola Coughlan and Maura Higgins pulling out all the stops. The ceremony, which is being presented by Scottish actor Alan Cumming at London's Royal Festival Hall, will see ITV recognised with the BAFTA TV special award for commissioning post office drama Mr Bates. The drama helped focus attention on the subpostmasters who were wrongly prosecuted during the Horizon IT scandal, has six nominations and is also nominated in the memorable moment category.

The ceremony is taking place, following US president Donald Trump proposing a 100% tariff on international films. BAFTA chief executive Jane Millichip called for more 'meaningful conversations' around Mr Trump's tariffs. Nicola Coughlan.

'Culturally, we're so tied, and there is so much co-production happening, I think to unpick that will be like making eggs out of an omelette to be honest.' Una Healy. Pic: Stuart C. Wilson/Getty Images Nicola Coughlan is nominated as best female performance in a comedy for her role as Maggie in Channel 4's Big Mood. She is also up for a 'memorable moment' award for her unforgettable carriage scene in Netlfix hit Bridgerton. Check out all the glam from the BAFTA's red carpet below. Siobhan McSweeney.
