STRICTLY star Arlene Phillips will be made a Dame in the Queen’s honours next week. The former TV judge, 78, has dedicated her life to dance and charity.

A close friend last night told the Sun on Sunday: “I bet she’ll do a little jig to celebrate. Nobody deserves this more than Arlene.” Arlene was sensationally axed from Strictly in 2009 and replaced by Alesha Dixon, 35 years her junior — sparking a BBC ageism row that reached Parliament.

Speaking in the Commons, Women’s Minister Harriet Harman called for her reinstatement. Growing up in Manchester, young Arlene was desperate to be a ballet dancer, but her parents could not afford lessons.

‘Inventing Anna’ review: A tale of wasted potential

Anna Delvey, who swindled New York’s elite out of hundreds of thousands of dollars – if only the show had faith in its own premise. Now streaming on Netflix, “Inventing Anna” is based on a viral 2018 New York Magazine article about Delvey (nee Sorokin), 31 — Russian-born and raised in Germany — who defrauded banks, hotels and acquaintances while posing as a trust-fund heiress in New York between 2013-2017. She was convicted for multiple accounts of grand larceny, indicted in 2017 and incarcerated from 2019-2021. Helmed by Shonda Rhimes and starring Julia Garner (“Ozark”) — a skilled actress who seems to have been given bad directing to hide behind a distracting marble-mouthed accent to play Delvey — “Inventing Anna” is a bloated affair, with episodes regularly clocking in at over an hour, which feels punishing.
