Celebrity Big Brother 2013: Rylan Clark Declared the winner of Celebrity Big Brother 2013

Rylan Clark won Celebrity Big Brother 2013 this evening in a tense final that saw more than a few surprises along the way! 

Viewers had been voting all week for Ryan, Rylan, Claire, Razor and Speidi to win the show. Footie star Neil Razor Ruddock was out first, having received the fewest votes of the final five. 

Finishing in fourth place was singer Claire Richards, or Claire from Steps as she’ll now be known, while Soap star Ryan Moloney took the third position. 

Rylan Clark

It then meant a close final showdown for Rylan Clark and Spencer & Heidi to win the show. The pair had clashed throughout the whole series so it was perhaps a tad awkward as the pair were left in the house together. 

The audience made their opinion clear, as they chanted to get Speidi out when host Brian Dowling spoke to the house for the final time. Speaking before the result, Heidi and Spencer said: “First off, we want to thank everyone for voting for us. 

Rylan Clark

“We’ve had the hardest time in this house. We’ve had some ups and downs but it’s been an amazing life experience, it’s been an experience. “Thank you for everyone who has voted for us, we’re blessed to be in such a great country. It’s been a great game. I feel like we should win because we’ve been put through the most, and all we’ve ever wanted to do is win!” 

Rylan said: “I just want to say thank you for everyone for keeping me in, I’ve loved living with everyone. Walking in the doors my dreams come true.

“How’s your luck? It’s me v Speidi. I’m so over the moon, whatever happens I’m over the moon!

“Not in a horrible way, but Big Brother is about coming in here and being your real self, and that’s what I’ve done!”

Brian then confirmed that Rylan had won, to many tears from the X Factor singer!

Subhash Ghai finds his Kaanchi in Bengali girl Mishti

On his 67th birthday Thursday, filmmaker Subhash Ghai announced that Bengali girl Mishti will play the lead in his 19th film Kaanchi. Having discovered talents like Manisha Koirala, Jackie Shroff and Mahima Chowdhary, Ghai admits he was on an "intense struggle" to find his Kaanchi.

Bengali Girl Mishti

"I went on auditioning the most beautiful girls and the talented ones; around 350 girls were auditioned to get the right Kaanchi, the way I had imagined in my script. I found so many beautiful girls with talent but could not find my Kaanchi in them till I saw a picture of Mishti, who is from Kolkata," Ghai said in a statement. "As I auditioned Mishti, I knew in the very first shot that she was the Kaanchi I was looking for," he added.

Kartik Tiwari and Mishti

The male lead in the film is Kartik Tiwari, who was last seen in Pyaar Ka Punchnama, and will soon be seen in Akaash Vani. Ghai says: "It is really a tough job to write a good script which promises to be a blockbuster, as well as a great story with great characters, particularly the protagonist. And the tougher job is when you decide to pick up a newcomer to play the title role instead of an established star."

Celebrity Big Brother 2013: Day 12 highlights and recap

Day 12 in the Celebrity Big Brother 2013 house saw a new task and a new bedroom for Spencer and Heidi!
9.30am
It’s a snowy morning in the house. Last night, Heidi & Spencer and Lacey found out that they would be joining Claire and Rylan facing the public vote; and Big Brother prevented Heidi & Spencer from accessing the basement while the rest of the house partied – which they weren’t happy about.
This morning, Heidi & Spencer have been in complete silence while the rest of the housemates have noticed snow outside. Rylan tells the housemates he is hangover. Claire mentions that she will stay away from the gym, “I need a day off,” she sighs. Rylan walks slowly through the house and Ryan offers to make him a cup of tea. “Yes please, with 7 sugars,” Rylan answers and enters the diary room.
Rylan tells Big Brother that he feels “pretty much s**t,” following last night’s party. He mentions how earlier Heidi and Spencer went to bed. “They never really get involved,” he says but says that doesn’t care as their actions no longer have “a negative impact” on the house. “I’m too hung over to worry,” he muses.

11:21am
Spencer & Heidi have been awake for 1 hour and 33 minutes. They haven’t spoken a single word. In the garden, Rylan is quizzing Ryan about his wife “Sue” but Ryan corrects, his wife’s name is Alison, and she is a manicurist. “Who the f**k’s Sue?” exclaims Rylan at his mistake. He complains about the state of his nails and tells Ryan that they should get her to come into the house.
Heidi & Spencer exit the basement. Rylan bids them good morning; Heidi returns the greeting with a straight face while Spencer gives the thumbs up. The couple trade morning greetings with the rest of the housemates while heading towards the diary room. Razor and Tricia are talking about the couple, he can’t understand why they don’t’ seem to being enjoying life in the house. “It must be easier if you’ve got your partner in here?” he muses.
In the diary room, Big Brother notices that Spencer & Heidi are almost silent and asks how they are. “I’m not feeling very well,” Heidi replies and Spencer says that he is fine. Big Brother asks Heidi to elaborate: “My body feels really sick, I feel like I’m gonna throw up.” Big Brother asks Spencer why he has opted to give the silent treatment. “I’ve done my time; I’ll be out on Wednesday,” he replies. Meanwhile, housemates discuss the couple’s bad mood. “I don’t know what the f**k is up with them two,” remarks Rylan. In the diary room Big Brother asks Spencer & Heidi why they are barely speaking. “I don’t have the urge to say anything, we said we wanted to be evicted and we stayed, I say we wanna win, it’s just a form of reverse psychology,” he bemoans.
Most of the housemates are in the garden and Spencer & Heidi are sitting on the sofa. Housemates are playing in the snow. Heidi gripes, “I bet its fake snow,” as Spencer adds: “Big Brother has probably got a (snow) machine on the roof.” “I think everything’s fake,” Heidi adds.
2:11pm
Ryan is in the garden getting his first taste of British winter weather. Frankie is preparing lunch and calls over asks Spencer & Heidi if they would like some. Spencer is silent but gestures that they are okay and will not be eating. Spencer whispers to his wife, “He gets offended, I don’t’ wanna eat off those dirty ass dishes.” They retreat to the bathroom and continue badmouthing some of the housemates. “Some of those peoples’ voices are like nails on a chalk board to me,” Spencer snipes. Spencer continues to moan about the rest of the housemates’ cooking habits.
Lacey has been called to the diary room. As a special reward for passing the task a few days ago, Lacey has won a phone call from home. Her brother Daniel is on the line and tells her that their family is proud of her. Lacey cries and tells him, “I can’t do it anymore, there’s no-one here my age.” He brother assures her not to worry adding: “Bring it home for the Banghards!”

3:22pm
Tricia and Gillian are playing in the snow. Ryan surprises them by playfully throwing a snowball at them. A snow ball fight soon follows and other housemates join in. In the living room Heidi shouts: “Run Rylan, get that Toadface!” Soon after, Ryan has stripped to his shorts and is rolling in the snow, then quickly gets into the hot tub to warm up. “Oh my god, that Toad is crazy,” Heidi remarks.
3:59pm
Heidi is giving Spencer a shoulder rub on the sofa. Razor and Rylan are talking about the couple and mention that they are never apart. “I love my wife to bits but you’ve gotta have space,” Razor muses. Big Brother has called Spencer & Heidi to the diary room. Big Brother tells the couple that they will have to leave the basement and move back into the main house. This will also mean that Spencer & Heidi “fully participate,” in everything the house has to offer. The couple is reluctant but feels that they have no choice. “I don’t know why you’re asking us, you’re telling us what to do,” Spencer scolds. Big Brother asks if they had anything else to add. “It’s not appropriate language for television so no,” Spencer scoffs.
4:08pm
Spencer & Heidi are in the basement packing their bags to return to the main house. “I’m not gonna take the pictures of our dogs, I don’t want anyone seeing our dogs,” Heidi worries. Claire, Rylan, Tricia and Gillian are in the igloo. The other housemates are resting in the living area.
Razor is dozing on the sofa and Spencer asks him if he and Heidi can use the double bed that Razor has been sleeping in. Razor says that its fine as Spencer adds: “We’ve been booted out of the basement.” Heidi tells Spencer that they were lucky that Razor agreed. “That’s cos I got him while he was sleeping,” Spencer remarks.
5:45pm
Rylan is in an inquisitive mood and examines the vending machine in the living area. As he heads to the sofa, the vending machine springs to life and Rylan jumps as housemates get rush to join him. Big Vender introduces himself to the housemates. Big Vendor explains that he is yet to understand exactly The Definition of Celebrity and sets housemates a task to display their skills in a talent show with Rylan and Claire as team captains. Rylan’s team; Razor, Tricia, Ryan, and Gillian will perform the Steps hit Tragedy, while Claire’s team; Heidi, Spencer, Lacey, Frankie perform the S Club 7 hit Reach for the Stars.

10:20pm
Ryan is teaching Lacey how to juggle. Heidi & Spencer are drinking wine alone in the bedroom. Heidi is using a tea cup while Spencer is drinking straight out of the bottle. Frankie comes in and offers them a glass. “No, we’re American’s,” Spencer grins and asks Frankie if he is glad that they have returned to the house. “I don’t mind,” Frankie answers and leaves the room. “We don’t mind you either, you little punk,” Spencer scolds and says that Frankie was “already on my hate list.” They both agree that Gillian is the only one they get on with, “But she doesn’t really say anything,” he adds. They continue to bad mouth Frankie adding: “What a little d**k he is,” and Spencer pleads to go into the diary room to continue his rant, “While I’m hot.” Rylan and Razor are in the garden and notice Spencer drinking out of the bottle. Frankie enters the bedroom and offers the couple more wine and they decline. He then brings Spencer a glass to use instead of the bottle. Spencer declines but thanks him. As Frankie leaves Spencer tells his wife, “They’re their real selves for a second, then they change.”

11:04pm
Rylan’s team have received their rewards for winning their task, and are enjoying burgers and wine in the igloo. Spenser & Heidi join them and Rylan offers them some of his food and they accept. While the housemates tuck in Tricia is getting into something more comfortable.

11:55pm
Heidi & Spencer are talking to some of their housemates. They mention how great their life is in LA and say that they met when Heidi was 19 and Spencer was 22. “So this is forever and ever,” Gillian asks and they both agree as Heidi adds, “Above and beyond in heaven.” She adds, “Companies have spend millions trying to break us up,” and mentions that girls have been paid to approach Spencer in clubs.
Razor is in the diary room talking about Spencer & Heidi. He mentions that the couple is “obsessed with everything bad,” and yet, “(they have eaten) seven bags of crisps, but everything you do is bad for you, it’s all about them, now they’re drinking wine and eating burgers that I’ve put my hands on, yet they’re so health conscious freaks, I can’t make them out.”
00:36am
Spencer & Lacey are in the bathroom talking about the next eviction. Lacey says that she thinks that he and Heidi will be safe. “I think that Rylan and Claire will go home,” he adds and says that Lacey is “naïve” for thinking otherwise.
In the bedroom, Rylan tells Tricia that Spencer & Heidi a have been “too nice,” adding: “There could be a row coming on.” Tricia tells Razor and Rylan that it is difficult to know what has been show and that they could come of looking like the bad guys while Spencer and Heidi won’t.

‘Da Vinci Code’ Author Dan Brown To Reveal Title to New Novel

Dan Brown’s publisher said Monday morning that it will publish the thriller writer’s next novel on May 14, but coyly declined to immediately release the title of the book.

Mr. Brown is the author of 2003’s “The Da Vinci Code” and other best-selling novels. On his Web site, he writes that he is currently working on the film version of his most recent book, “The Lost Symbol.” The new work will again feature Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon and is set in Europe, where he focuses on what Random House’s Doubleday described as “one of history’s most enduring and mysterious literary masterpieces.”

Doubleday said the title will be revealed “later today via reader social media posts.”

In an interview with this newspaper in 2009 in which he discussed his fact-checking process for his fifth novel, “The Lost Symbol,” Mr. Brown said, “ The research is multi-layered. I’ll go to a place that I want to write about as often as three times to make sure that the descriptions are exactly right. You can’t always know from one or two visits which detail you are going to want to include. And I’ll talk to the building’s historian or specialist to make sure that what I’ve got is correct. Nobody reads the manuscript before it goes to the publisher. But my publisher has fact checkers, and you go through a very high level of scrutiny. That said, I’m weaving facts into a story of fiction.”

Day 11 in the Celebrity Big Brother 2013 house saw the group nominate for the third time… and get a shocking new task.

Following Friday’s events, Big Brother has decided to allow Heidi and Spencer to remain in the basement. The couple awake and notice that half of their nation’s flag has fallen off the wall. Heidi rushes to reattach it and Spencer mentions that the other housemates had “declared war” on them the previous night.
While the housemates go though their morning routine Spencer and Heidi are getting ready too. In the bedroom, Tricia talks to Claire about Razor’s snoring. “I felt like crying,” she starts and Claire said she only heard a bit of the noise before squashing her ear into the pillow, adding: “I must have managed to block it out.” Tricia hopes that the housemates get something to do today, she laughs adding: “The last time I said that, it all ended in tears.” Gillian and Claire laugh with her.
Big Brother reminds housemates that on Friday, Spencer and Heidi put Claire and Rylan up to face the public vote. Housemates are now informed that with the exception of Spencer and Heidi, today, all housemates must nominate. Spencer and Heidi cheer adding: “Time to get even Claire and Rylan!” In the bedroom, Razor reminds Claire that he had told her things will be fine regarding nominations. “Depends who else is up,” she muses. “I’m losing my appetite in here which means I need to stay in here as long as possible,” she jokes.

10:58am
Spencer and Heidi exit the basement as Razor and Ryan discuss the prospect of snow out in the garden. Rylan is in the dairy room talking to Big Brother about today’s big news. “I’m glad that the rest of the house is gonna get to nominate, it’s awful knowing I was going up against Claire from Steps, she’s a really good friend of mine in here.” He says that Claire is relieved at the news and that he isn’t ready to leave the house. “I’ve had a lovely time, I’ll miss the house, I’ll miss you,” he confesses. Rylan says that he will be fine if he goes because his fellow housemates have been able nomination.

11:47am
Claire is making the most of the gym. She says that she has a treadmill in her living room: “But I’ve never, never switched it on, I’ve stood on it, March last year I brought it,” she laughs and tells Tricia she will start using it once gets back home. Frankie is in the garden quizzing Razor about today’s nominations. Razor recaps the instructions: “We can’t nominate Rylan or Claire, and they can’t vote.” Frankie is confused as to why Spencer and Heidi cannot vote and Razor tells him: They’ve had their say, they’ve had their vote, they don’t do f**k all do they, they’re not in the house are they,” he remarks.
Spencer and Heidi are in the living area looking at the housemate portraits, eyeing up the competition. They discuss the order in which housemates will leave, “Two go on Wednesday, one goes on Friday,” speculates Heidi. Spencer jokes that he’s going to meditate about evictions and chants “Ohmmmmm,” and Heidi joins in.
1:20pm
Lacey is in the bedroom preparing for nominations. Some of the housemates are in the bathroom where Rylan is planning tonight’s activities for them. He says that he will give his housemate makeovers later and hopefully Big Brother will plan something nice for them. Big Brother announces that nominations will start shortly. Gillian is wrapped in her towel and giggles: “I better put some knickers on then.” Spencer and Heidi are in the bedroom, excited about the up coming nominations. “I hope it’s face-to-face, it’s more exciting,” she smile. Spencer tells her that before entering the house, he saw odds of them winning at “20-1.” He adds: “If we put on 1000 bucks we would have won 20 grand.” “Is it too late,” she quips and they all laugh. “Lacey call our bookie,” Spencer jokes as they head out of the bedroom. In the living area Frankie tells the couple that before entering the house, he had read that, “Rylan was favourite to win.” “I’ll bet money now we’re favourite to win,” Spencer muses.
2:35pm
Spencer and Heidi are in the living room. Heidi walks sexily towards the diary room. “Look at that booty, I think Beyoncé was singing about you in Bootylicious, that thing is so beautiful, I just wanna tap it,” Spencer gushes. “You will honey,” Heidi says before joining him at the sofa then bends to kiss him. Razor and Rylan are in the garden talking about eviction. “If you stay you’ll be happy, if I go I can give my missus a big cuddle, you’re in a win-win situation,” Razor tells him. “You won’t be up,” Rylan reassures him as they both notice Spencer and Heidi getting close on the sofa. “I saw them kiss this morning, on the lips,” remarks Rylan and Razor feigns disbelief. “On the lips,” Rylan repeats adding: “They didn’t think anyone was looking.”
Today is nominations day and Ryan is first into the diary room. He nominates Heidi and Spencer, “They don’t do enough around the house,” then Razor, citing his continued snoring. Next is Tricia who again opts for Spencer and Heidi who she brands as “false.” Her second choice is Lacey who she says is “so, so untidy.” Frankie nominates Lacey who he thinks is “making extra effort to be noticed” and doesn’t think this is “the real Lacey.” His second choice is Spencer and Heidi who he saw “another side to” when they returned to the house. “They snapped, it was quite scary to be honest,” he adds. Gillian is next to nominate and names Spencer and Heidi. She blames them for the “certain atmosphere” they brought into the house when they returned. Lacey is her second choice and says that all though “I love her to bits,” she can be a bit “annoying.” Gillian returns to the house and is clearly upset, Rylan hugs her and whispers: “Just remember we’re all doing it, we have to.”
4:46
pmRazor and Rylan are talking to Ryan about Neighbours. They ask him if anyone in the cast is an “arsehole” he says no. Rylan probes on whether Ryan would jump ship to Home & Away if they made a big money offer. He says yes.
Lacey is telling Heidi and Spencer about her political views. She says that she doesn’t think its fair that the government gives out “free money” to young single mothers. She also doesn’t think people should be given council houses. She thinks nobody should be given benefits until they are 25 as they are taking money that should go to pensioners. She says she will change that if she takes power.
5:21pm
Ryan is giving some of the housemates a history lesson and confirms that “the first fleet (to Australia) was convicts.” Spencer asks if that’s why during rugby the New Zealand team performs the Hakka. “Yeah it’s a war dance,” Ryan tells him and begins to do it. Today is nominations day and so far, Spencer and Heidi has 4 nominations, Lacey had 3 and Razor has 1. Claire is the next to nominate and names Heidi and Spencer. She mentions that out of all the housemates the couple never “chips in” to help with tidying the house or helping at meal times. Her next nomination is for Lacey who she said made a crude comment which was “unladylike.” Rylan is next and opts for Spencer and Heidi and mentions their comments that he was “fake, dishonest and played up to the cameras.” Rylan disputes this adding: “What a load of b*****ks.” His second nomination is for Lacey. He said that during the big argument with Heidi and Spencer, they forgave Lacey for badmouthing them because of her age. He says that Lacey took “the easy route out,” while he took the brunt of the blame.
Lacey is up next and first nominates Razor, “His snoring is driving me crazy, I really just want a good night’s sleep.” Her second nomination is Spencer and Heidi, and blames their constant remarks about “wanting to go home,” which makes her more homesick. The final housemate to nominate is Razor: “My first nomination is for Heidi and Spencer, the Americans, the pair of Pratts,” he starts. He brands them “lazy” and “rude” who were “rude to Rylan which was over the top.” He adds: “It’s not fair that they’ve got their own space to go to.” His next nomination is for Lacey who he claims “burps all the time,” and has “terrible language,” for a lady.
Heidi and Spencer received 8 nominations, Lacey received 6 nominations; they will both join Rylan and Claire to face the public vote. Frankie, Gillian, Ryan and Tricia received no nominations.
6:38pm
In the bedroom Rylan is giving Ryan a makeover. Big Brother gathers all housemates on the sofa. Housemates are pleased with Ryan’s makeover and Heidi jokes: “Is this your way to get out of nominations?” Big Brother announces that Spencer and Heidi and Lacey will join Claire and Rylan in facing the public vote. The couple cheers as housemates applaud them while Rylan assures Lacey that not everyone nominated her. “The good news Lacey, is you know it wasn’t us,” Spencer remarks.
7:10pm
Heidi and Spencer are in the bathroom talking about their fellow housemates. She mentions that it’s good to see that “those who thought they were untouchable are.” Rylan is now giving Razor a makeover. Some of the housemates are enjoying a bowl of ice cream. Razor comes into the living area with his makeover complete. “It’s just like looking in a mirror,” he comments holding up a blank square in front of his face. He turns it over to reveal a picture of Gillian while Gillian and the rest of the housemates laugh hysterically. “Separated at birth,” Gillian remarks.
It’s been 33minutes since Lacey found out she’ll be facing the public vote. In the diary room she tells Big Brother that her fellow housemates have led “amazing lives,” in comparison and says that she is “just beginning.” She says that she is messy but “mucks in,” but feels like more of an “outsider,” but has tried to “stay honest.”
8:21pm
Frankie is in the bedroom playing dress up. He is tottering around in heels and wearing a dress. “You’re seriously enjoying that,” Tricia jibes. Earlier, Rylan also gave Lacey a male makeover. In the living area Lacey talks to Spencer and Heidi. She tells them that she feels fine about her nomination and Spencer tells her, “I think they voted for you cos they all have alliances, they’re like a team.” Heidi adds, “They don’t want you around, all young, that’s just 101. You don’t realize how age is with women.” Heidi continues: “With these women, it’s a very sensitive (issue).” Spencer says that the women in the house are cautious of Lacey because she’s a glamour model and they would worry about their husbands’ reaction to her. Lacey listens as the pair continues. “Enjoy yourself, in the outside world I’m sure you wouldn’t even talk to them, they would never talk to you, these people aren’t anything significant, it’s okay to be polite, but never care,” warns Heidi.
9:21pm
For today’s task housemates will be competing for exclusive invitations to Big Brother’s party. Only 5 housemates will be invited following the Shocking Good Fun task. All of the housemates are wearing shock suits. All housemates need to do in order to secure an invitation is mentally work out when a minute has passed; the only way a housemate can indicate when they think a minute is up is by delivering an electric shock to the housemate they are playing for. At the end of the task Big Brother reveals that Gillian, Frankie, Tricia, Razor and Claire will all attend the special party.
11:56pm
The victorious housemates are enjoying cocktails and canapés at Big Brother’s exclusive VIP party in living area. The losers are left to attend a party in the igloo; Big Brother has provided cider for them to drink. Heidi and Spencer opt out, “We’re gonna go to bed,” Heidi moans while Spencer adds, “I thought there would at least be a bottle of wine.” The shutters go up and losing housemates look on as the VIPs enjoy themselves. Rylan pleads through the glass. “Hello, I’ve got my ID, tell them it’s Toadie from Neighbours and the tall one off of X Factor and a bird from Page 3 and the American’s from The Hills.” They head into the igloo and Rylan comments, “I can get p***ed on cider, shall we get f***ked?” Heidi and Spencer wait outside the basement door, hoping Big Brother will open it.
00:06am
In the living area, the party is in full swing as the housemates dance.
Heidi and Spencer are in the diary room demanding to enter the basement. They feel they have done enough tonight. Big Brother tells them to go to the bedroom. Once there, they find Rylan, Lacey and Ryan drinking cider and having fun.
01:42am
Heidi and Spencer are entering the basement. The housemates who lost the task have taken their budget cider into the living area. Tricia shows them a magic trick making Claire’s ring disappear. Rylan has come to the diary room to talk to Big Brother about the events of the day. He mentions that Heidi and Spencer’s reason for nominating him were “b*****ks,” but says that despite being up for nomination, he is enjoying his time in the house. He worries that the couple should be getting more “involved” with their fellow housemates. “You wanna stay, you wanna win, don’t make it all about you, get involved, enjoy the company. There’re a lovely couple and I’ll never take that away from them but for God’s sake, get involved, who wants to go to bed at half past seven when you’re in the Big Brother house, have a look in the store room or something?” he rants.

Armstrong 'admits' to drug abuse to win Tour de France during Oprah Winfrey interview

According to Daily mail Lance Armstrong last night reportedly admitted using performance-enhancing drugs to win the Tour de France. The disgraced cyclist is said to have confessed in an interview with American TV chat show queen Oprah Winfrey which is scheduled to be broadcast on Thursday. 

Armstrong earlier visited the staff of his charity at the Texas offices to apologise for putting their work at risk. Several employees cried when he told them: ‘I’m sorry.’ He promised he would try to restore the foundation’s reputation - before meeting his legal team to prepare for the Oprah interview. 

Lance Armstrong

Armstrong reportedly spoke to a room full of about 100 staff members for about 20 minutes, expressing regret for everything the controversy has put them through. 

He told them how much the foundation means to him and that he considers the people who work there to be like members of his family. None of the people in the room challenged Armstrong over his long denials of doping. 

Lance Armstrong's Crying

After the interview, Winfrey tweeted: 'Just wrapped with @lancearmstrong More than 2 1/2 hours. He came READY!' Winfrey and her crew planned on filming Monday's session at Armstrong's home. As a result, local and international news crews were camped near the cyclist's Spanish-style villa before dawn. 

Armstrong still managed to slip away for a run despite the crowds outside his home. He returned by cutting through a neighbour's yard and hopping a fence.
