Daisy Edgar-Jones explains how she mastered her 'Southern drawl' in new movie

The Normal People star, 24, who is from north London, portrays Catherine "Kya" Clark in the movie adaptation of the best-selling book of the same title.It tells the story of an abandoned girl who raises herself in a North Carolina marsh before falling in love with two men when she is brought into a town.Daisy says mastering the accent of the American South was helped by playing word games with her parents as a child.She explained: "I grew up with a lot of accents in the house. My mum is from the north of Ireland, my dad's Scottish, and then my Grandad and my cousin Jacklyn came to live with me when I was wee and they had a very, very strong accent too."Then my mum will always put on wee characters and my dad will too, and we'll talk in accents with each other.Then I grew up in London so there was quite a north London accent which I'd sometimes pick up.

Former Empire star Jussie Smollett to be released from jail on bond, during appeal
Jussie Smollett, 39, is set to be released from jail on bond, a court has ordered during an appeal to overturn the former Empire star’s conviction.The Mighty Ducks star was sentenced last week after being found guilty of lying to the police.Smollett claimed to have been the victim of a racist and homophobic attack in January 2019 but was accused of staging the attack himself.On Wednesday, judges ruled Smollett should be released while the appeal of his conviction on five felony counts of lying to police about a racist and homophobic attack is underway.He will be released from the Cook County Jail on a $150,000 (£113,000) personal recognizance bond.The 39-year-old has spent just six days in prison, however his lawyers argued that he would be in danger of physical harm in prison, stating that their client had received “vicious threats” on social media which “no doubt reflects the hatred and wish for physical harm toward Smollett, which he may experience during incarceration.”They also said that Smollett would have completed his sentence by the time the appeal process would be completed.Last week, a Cook County judge sentenced Smollet to a 150 day prison sentence for staging a hate crime hoax.Smollett was remanded into custody immediately.During the sentencing, Smollett said in an outburst: “If I did this, then it means that I stuck my fist in the fears of Black Americans in this country for over 400 years, and the fears of the LGBT community.“Your honour, I respect you and I respect the jury, but I did not do this, and I am not suicidal, and if anything happens to me when I go in there, I did not do it to myself, and you must all know that.”Earlier this week, Smollett’s family claimed he had been placed in the prison’s

Adele's tour future in doubt after Las Vegas venue replaces her with other artists
The Sun.A source from The Sun added: "The intention was to fill [the pool] with water on the set as she was lifted up on a crane-type mechanism, creating the illusion she was floating on water."Yet many of the singer's die-hard fans have insisted that it's not about special effects or gimmicks and that they would have been happy simply to hear her voice in the raw.Now this has been packed up and sent away, adding to the distress of fans who now believe they will be left waiting until 2023 - or later - to finally catch a glimpse of their idol.She had a previous hiccup with concert dates back in 2017, after damaged vocal cords destroyed her chances of performing as she would have liked.Comments from her at the time suggesting she might retire from live music altogether left followers wondering if they would ever experience her show in person.It now seems likely dates will be rescheduled for 2023 with Adele promising that "more info coming soon".Adele's next appearance will be at the Brit Awards, but the US-based Skyfall singer will not be travelling back to the UK for the occasion, instead planning to show up via video link.She is awaited on February 8 where she will be pitted against the phenomenally popular Ed Sheeran for the chance to take away awards for Best Album and Best Artist.It is uncertain whether her presence will still be welcome among some of those who had previously idolised her, as the atmosphere becomes increasingly hostile in the wake of the cancellations.@catching_finn on Instagram branded her a disgrace, swiping: "Plenty of session musicians out there that can do everything your band can plus I'm amazed there wasn't contingency plans for such problems already in place for a contract that's paying you

'You can't have that!' Adele withdraws offer of free drink for disappointed fan
She ordered another fan not to make a purchase from her store, stating: "You've already spent enough f***ing money."However, in a DM to another follower, she seemed happy to tout the merchandise, some of which costs more than the original price per ticket fans paid."James it's Adele! I really am so sorry," she wrote in one message."If you're still here at 6pm, my store in the middle of the Caesars casino just outside the entrance to The Colosseum is opening up still."It's not just a shop! There are fun and nostalgic things from my career in there, nods to moments of the last decade and all sorts of things to look at and so on."There will be people I work with in there to chat about what everything is and a gift from me to you also!"I hope you can make it! Again I'm so sorry."Yet some sweatshirts were priced at a whopping $110.Meanwhile bottles of her favourite Cloudy Bar Pinot Noir wine had been priced up from its usual $40 to $75.Some saw this as extortionate and questioned whether Adele was truly trying to make amends or simply attempting to earn yet more money from now cash-strapped fans with the consolation price of an "over-priced merchandise" store.However Adele insisted that she was "truly humbled" by the support of fans, including the pair who had been too young to take up the offer of a free drink."I designed that score myself, I bled and f**king sweated and cried into it," she told them."So just have fun to all the fans and I'm really sorry and it's really nice to meet you both."Adele has vowed to reschedule all of the 24 dates, although an already tightly-packed schedule means the Easy On Me singer may not be able to arrange anything until 2023.There had already been concerns that she might never play again
