Emmerdale's Lisa Riley has given fans an insight into how things have changed on the set of the soap due to the coronavirus pandemic. The Mandy Dingle star, 44, shared a glimpse into her dressing room with a photo shared to her Instagram page on Wednesday. The snap showed her dressing room area, that is rarely seen by soap fans, covered with Lisa's belongings including all the products to help her transform into her character. Due to the pandemic, there are no professional hair and make-up artists allowed to work on the Yorkshire based series. Alongside the photo, she explained that the area she is allocated used to be for six people before joking that she is struggling with "lack of workspace" due to becoming messy since she is no longer having to share the area. She penned: "Now we do our own hair and makeup on @emmerdale it’s so hard for me to understand why I manage to use so much space for all my stuff, my makeup and costumes I’ve taken off, this dressing room … [Read more...] about Emmerdale’s Lisa Riley shares pic of dressing room mess as she does own hair and make-up

Charles Darwin: ‘Treasured’ keepsake box owned by naturalist’s daughters to go on display
A "treasured" keepsake box that once belonged to Charles Darwin's daughters has been donated to English Heritage and will go on show later this year. The Victorian red leather box contains shells gathered by Darwin on his famous Beagle voyage, where his observations fostered the ideas that led him to develop his theory of evolution. Darwin's descendants have donated the red leather box and its "treasures" to English Heritage, which will display the object at what was Darwin's home - Down House, in Kent. The naturalist and his wife Emma gave the box to their daughters, who, starting with the eldest, Annie, filled it with family mementos. When Annie died, aged 10 in 1851, the box passed to her sister Henrietta, otherwise known as Etty.
