Hello Everyone!

Friday at last- not long until the weekend!

The weather was horrible yesterday after Storm Doris hit the UK, I hope nobody got blown away too badly! The weather is set to be a bit up and down over the next few days. Tomorrow shows highs of 9º and lows of 3º, and Sunday shows highs of 10º and lows of 6º.

An asteriod is due to pass Earth tonight at quite a close range! Space Scientists have labelled it as the "fourth close shave of the year", and it is due to fly past at just 161,280km away from Earth. It may seem quite close, but it has been told to be 'potentially hazardous'. The asteroid is 82ft in size and belongs to a group in which several other asteroids have been labelled as 'hazardous'. It has also been revealed the reason why the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Will and Kate, never hold hands in public. This behaviour is different to the younger brother, Prince Harry and his girlfriend Meghan Markle who are often shown as displaying affection to each other. The reason why they don't show public displays of affection is because it may distract them from their role of being royals, however there is no etiquette or royal protocol to say they must refrain from it. "The likely reasoning is more that while travelling on a tour, technically the couple are working representatives of the British Monarchy. The couple are likely to show very little PDA, if any, to remain professional during their designated roles abroad." Says Myka Meier, the founder of Beaumont Etiquette.

For all you Dirty Dancing fans out there, listen to this news! The iconic scene in the film when Patrick Swayze lifted Jennifer Grey above his head nearly didn't happen! During filming, Patrick Swayze suffered an injury to his knee which meant he was in agony when lifting Jennifer up. Also, it wasn't just the injury that was against them when filming- the decorators had just painted the stage so the floor was really sticky so the paint would stick to their feet and they couldn't turn!

Ed Sheeran was the true gentleman the other night at the BRIT awards after party. Whilst dancing at the Warner Ciroc party, Ed's girlfriend Cherry Seaborn broke her Louboutin heels and so Ed took off his shoes and gave them to her! He left the hall in just his socks, holding Chery's hand and carrying her broken shoes! What a guy!
