It says a lot that Katya Jones winning Strictly Come Dancing in 2017 is arguably the least interesting thing to happen to her since joining the show. Along the way, the Russian dancer has faced scandals, divorce and arguments with her partners, while honing a skill for polishing untrained celebrities into dance diamonds. Where certain pros who may now sit on the judging panel would get lumped with a “joke” contestant like, off the top of my head, Ann Widdecombe, and accept that stereotype, giving them unchallenging choreography and even, say, dragging them around the floor, Jones never does. For her, there are no “joke” contestants. Not Ed Balls. Not Tony Adams.
On day one of her first season in 2017, the pro was dropped in at the deep end. Partnered with Balls, a former shadow chancellor famous for, among other things, tweeting the words “Ed Balls” with no explanation, she chose to swim.

BBC News has had to apologize after a picture of premier league footballer Raheem Sterling was displayed while airing a report about a completely different footballer arrested for alleged sexual offenses.
On Thursday morning on the BBC News channel, a photograph of Sterling, who had featured in earlier report about a lucrative transfer from Manchester City to Chelsea, appeared on screen behind sports presenter Mike Bushell while he gave an update on the arrest of the other, unidentified footballer.
When alerted to the error later on, the Guardian reports that another presenter on the channel apologized on-air and explained the mistake being down to a “technical error” while emphasizing that Sterling was “wholly unconnected” with the later story.
The BBC said: “In our sports bulletin earlier, owing to a technical error the wrong picture appeared in connection with a story of a Premier League player arrested over alleged sexual offenses.

It kind of pays to look before you step. BBC reporter Mike Bushell must have forgotten that rule when he fell into a swimming pool during an interview with the British swim team. Give Mike credit though as he recovered pretty quick and recognized his mistake. He obviously forgot this wasn’t a kiddie pool and did have another level to it. But he was okay and easily laughed it off so everything was kosher. The swim team got a good chuckle out of it as well and didn’t react too much since Mike really wasn’t in any danger. Had he
