Woburn Sands athlete Greg Rutherford looked like he was jumping for joy to appear on It Takes Two last night with his dance partner Natalie Lowe.

He says he's hoping "he'll go all the way" in Strictly Come Dancing. 

He'll be on BBC One from 18:20 on Saturday 

This week Tango - Jump 

He scored 27 points with his jive (watch below) so let's hope he can improve on that on Saturday night.

The judge who sentenced a man to eight years after he failed to stop for police and crashed his car into a shop, killing a passenger, called the incident "a piece of flagrant and obvious dangerous driving". 

Michael Fludgate, 20, of no fixed address, pleaded guilty to causing death by dangerous driving, causing death while uninsured and causing death while unlicensed at Luton Crown Court today.

Judge Richard Foster said: "To any common sensed bystander the outcome was perhaps almost inevitable - that there would be a serious accident.

"You ignored the blue lights, and you disregarded your passengers screaming at you to slow down. Sadly Wanessa (pictured) was killed. Nothing this court can say or do can bring back her life."

The prosecutor said at one point the Golf did a handbrake turn and slewed sideways, but re-corrected itself and drove off again, reaching speeds up to 80mph in 30 and 20mph zones.

An Independent Police Complaints Commission inquiry continues.

Isolated showers this evening will fade away to leave much of the night dry with clear spells, and perhaps a few mist patches. Turning chilly with light winds, as temperatures fall to 6C (43F) in prone rural spots.

Sunny spells on Saturday, particularly at first, but an increasing risk of showers or longer spells of rain developing, some heavy with hail and thunder, and perhaps some local flooding. 

Feeling notably cool with light and variable winds, and temperatures only reaching 16C (61F).

The court heard during the police chase the girl, Wanessa Lewandowska, and another passenger were screaming at Michael Fludgate to slow down or stop.

But he ignored their pleas and reached speeds of 80mph in a 20mph area, took off when he hit a speed hump and crashed into a TV repair shop.

Wanessa, a 15-year-old student who wanted to work with children, was pronounced dead at the scene in High Town Road, Luton, on 9 August this year.

Michael Fludgate, 20, who killed his backseat passenger when crashing into a shop in Luton has been jailed for eight years.

Watford head coach Walter Mazzarri has promised there will be no repeat of the performance at Burnley in the week, as his side prepares for the visit of Bournemouth on Saturday. 

Once Upon A Time a spacecraft called Rosetta built in Stevenage started off on a very big mission... today it sadly didn't live happily ever after, but it did finish what it was built to do. 

Goodbye Rosetta. 

The Rosetta mission has come to an end, with the Stevenage-built spacecraft being commanded to collide with Comet 67P.

But as the probe made its slow 19km descent to the comet's "head", it snapped some spectacular pictures of the surface.

A judge called a burglar "extremely pedantic" while sentencing him to 21 months in jail. 

Judge Philip Bartle, QC, said Adrian Hill, 40, from Luton, was "continually interrupting" him and kept folding his arms in a defiant gesture. 

He told Luton Crown Court: "I am not prepared to be abused by a prisoner in this way, and I expect prisoners to show some respect to the court."

Hill pleaded guilty to the burglary of Ruby's bar and nightclub in Chapel Street, Luton, and an attempted theft from a car from Windsor Street.

The former James Bond star - who has had an office at the Buckinghamshire site for decades and first worked there in 1946 - said the celebrated studio was a "second home" to him.

He said: "I like to think I know Pinewood quite well - because I made all but one of my Bond films, The Persuaders and half a dozen other movies there too.

"Pinewood not only has the very best facilities, it also has a charm and warmth unlike any other studio with its stately Heatherden Hall mansion at the centre, beautifully maintained gardens and its film factory and backlot boasting near-on 30 stages, including of course the huge 007 stage which I opened in 1977."
