News about Bill Nighy

Joy tells the remarkable true story behind Louise's birth in 1978 and the tireless 10-year journey to make it possible. The film follows a young nurse, a visionary scientist and an innovative surgeon - played by Thomasin McKenzie, James Norton and Bill Nighy respectively -  as they battle hostility to make the medical breakthrough. Louise was the first IVF baby born at Oldham General Hospital in 1978 and stepping out for the gala at The Royal Festival Hall, on Tuesday, she looked glamorous in a chiffon grey gown. She paired the elegant dress, which was complete with silver sequin detailing, with a silver short-sleeved shawl and wore her bright blonde locks down in natural waves.

James Norton received a hilarious surprise from his co-star Thomasin McKenzie as they joined a slew of stars at the headline gala screening of their film Joy on Tuesday. Taking to the red carpet at the BFI London Film Festival, the actor was blissfully unaware as Thomasin photobombed his snaps while posing at the premiere. James opted for a relaxed mustard yellow suit as he arrived for the event, while Thomasin stunned in an elegant floral strapless gown.

Frankie Bridge turned heads in a bold red suit as she attended The Wild Robot screening on Sunday during the 68th BFI London Film Festival.  The Loose Women star, 35, was joined by her former footballer husband Wayne, 44, and their two sons Parker 10, and Carter, eight. Frankie looked incredible in an eye catching blazer which featured dramatic shoulder pads and she cinched in the waist with a coordinated belt. 

Richard Curtis is making his first Christmas film since Love Actually and, of course, it is packed full of A-list celebrities. The animation, which is set to be released on Netflix later this year, follows a series of entwined tales about love, loneliness, family and friends, all while Santa is trying to solve some big problems of his own. Succession megastar Brian Cox will be playing Father Christmas, while Love Actually's Bill Nighy , Killing Eve 's Fiona Shaw and former Doctor Who Jodie Whittaker will all have starring roles. It has also been revealed that Ed Sheeran has made a brand new song for the film, which he created with his older brother.

CRAIG BROWN: Who'll be hoping for a marrow victory this week? Take the quiz and find out.

Keir Starmer (centre) was backed by a host of stars from the arts today as the Left mounts a final push towards the election. Bill Nighy (bottom right), Hugh Bonneville (top right), Imelda Staunton (bottom left), Keeley Hawes (top left) and Grayson Perry are among the big names who have signed a letter endorsing Labour to 'end to the political chaos'. The party has traditionally enjoyed strong support from the creative industry, although it is unclear how much voters are swayed by such interventions.

QUENTIN LETTS: For all the good it will do him, Rishi Sunak won last night's BBC1 Prime Ministerial Debate. Twenty points behind in the polls - or is it 50 by now? - little Rishi was still fighting, still bobbing and bouncing, darting into the smallest pause in proceedings to jab the Labour leader with the repeated question 'so what would you do?' He never really did get an answer. Sir Keir Starmer was less clunky than in previous debates but by the end his sticky-uppy hairdo was looking a bit messy and he was turning the shade of synthetic strawberry ice cream. 'Liar!' he said petulantly. 'Nonsense! False!' He kept doing that gulpy Bill Nighy thing when his glasses start to steam up and he nibbles the front of his gums, looking a bit befuddled and pop-eyed and shifty in his smalls. Mr Sunak was better on detail, tighter in his arguments, generally more modern. He probably overdid the interruptions, mind you.

For many people, it's the ultimate property dream - owning a Scottish castle. But behind the romantic fantasy of living in a fairytale home, there is often the harsh economic reality that castles have to earn their keep. With a unique set of costly problems - from leaky turrets and damp stone walls to erratic plumbing and wonky doorways - owners of some of the country's finest castles have revealed the imaginative ways in which they make their properties pay. While the most popular commercial venture is offering B&B - bed and battlements - to paying guests, the alternatives are as varied as the fortresses themselves. Dramatic architecture makes an ideal location for film makers and TV crews, or a thrilling backdrop to a murder mystery weekend, while the romance of castles makes them a perfect fit for grand weddings and hedonistic parties.

EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: he was found guilty of fraud, manacled to a hospital bed, served two prison sentences, and portrayed himself as "Lord Edward" despite lacking even a little link to the aristocracy. However, Eddie Davenport seems to be unable to slip sedately into the shadows just yet. I can even talk about another unexpected chapter in Davenport's all-to-brief career, which has been lived in the public eye since the 1980s, when he arranged the 'Gatecrasher Balls' for thousands of alcohol-fueled public school students, many of whom were feted in palatial splendour, including Longleat, the Marquess of Bath's Wiltshire seat.

HARDCASTLE (EPHRAIM): Recovering Kate, who was unable to attend a Guinness toast on St Patrick's Day, ensured her favorite troops were well stocked at her expense on St Patrick's Day. She poured £2,000 behind the regimental bar at Aldershot for a party after the traditional parade, to their delight. According to my bacus, the thirsty troopers were treated to at least 700 pints of the black stuff at no cost. And did she specify that regimental mascot Seamus, the Irish wolfhound, should be treated to a jumbo bone?
