As we reported, the  blaze broke out  at a block of flats on George Lambton Avenue between 17:00 and 18:00 on Sunday.

The building was evacuated and those who live there said they do not yet know how long they will be in temporary accommodation.

Jill Korwin, a director at Forest Heath District Council, said: "It's been our priority to make sure everyone's accommodated.

"It's incredibly difficult, nobody wants to be in this situation. 

"We have sorted out temporary accommodation for them, but we really want to look at the bigger picture in terms of trying to make their lives as comfortable as it possibly can be as we try to arrange long-term accommodation for them."

It's the story that has captivated a nation. 

A man who dared to take on the incredulous sarcasm of Paxman, who flagrantly disregarded the rules of sartorial elegance and wore his collar outside his jumper.

Eric 'the tornado' Monkman had the chance to enter University Challenge folklore last night and lift the 2016/17 cup for Wolfson College, Cambridge. 

But unfortunately the intense Canadian could not captain Cambridge to the win, losing out to the might of Oxford. 

Joey Goldman, the cool-headed turtle neck-wearing captain steered the good ship Balliol to 190 points, against Wolfson's 140.

Some cathedrals in England, including Peterborough Cathedral, are facing possible closure because of problems with finance and management , according to the Church of England.

A report said their financial independence posed "serious risks to the reputation of the entire Church".

Despite increasing numbers of visitors, some cathedrals have been hit by serious financial issues.

A new working group will consider whether or not cathedrals should continue to raise their own funds.

Each of England's 42 Anglican diocesan cathedrals are run by a dean and chapter, independently of their diocese or the Church of England.

The group's vice-chairwoman, the Very Rev Vivienne Faull, said: "As cathedrals have developed their ambition, they have found that their ways of doing things, which includes their raising of revenue, haven't necessarily met what they need in terms of their ambition."

As we enter hayfever season, no doubt some of us will be reaching for the antihistamines to clear the blocked nose.

But a Cambridgeshire GP has called on sufferers to stop buying the tablets on prescription.

BBC Radio Cambridgeshire has found that the local Clinical Commissioning Group spent more than £500,000 prescribing the drugs last year.

That's a rise of 14% on 2014-15.

Dr Cathy Bennett wants people to "help themselves", in turn helping the NHS.

"The amount spent on prescriptions is equivalent to 97 hip replacements or 572 cataract operations," she said.

"It's just thinking about how we spend our money and where it goes.

"We want to be able to spend that money on really important things."

Tania Chikwature, 32, from Butterfly Way, Coventry, was more than three times over the limit when she lost control and flipped the car near Peterborough in December.

Miraculously, her son was unhurt and she sustained only minor injuries.

Chickwature admitted drink-driving and dangerous driving and was jailed for 26 weeks by Peterborough magistrates.

The court heard she had been drinking vodka between 21:00 and 01:00 the night before the crash.

She was driving to a wake when she lost control of her Nissan Qashqai at about 11:40 GMT on 12 December.

Peterborough Magistrates' Court heard Chikwature was overtaking a lorry at speed on the A605 when she hit a roundabout, flew across it and clipped a tree, causing the vehicle to land on its roof. 

The child was released unhurt by a passing motorist, but firefighters had to free Chikwature from the wreckage.

Lorry driver Richard Jones, who captured the accident on his dash-cam, said: "I remember thinking as it launched into the air, they're not going to make it."

The court heard a vodka bottle was found inside the car.

Chikwature refused a breath test at the scene but after submitting a blood sample, through back-calculation officers found she had 246mg of alcohol in 100ml at the time of the incident. The legal limit is 80mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood.

She was jailed for 26 weeks for dangerous driving and 12 weeks for drink-driving to be served concurrently, and was banned from driving for three years.

We've been bringing you news that a University Challenge contestant from Wolfson College in Cambridge, who has taken the internet by storm, will return to our screens tonight for the final .

Eric Monkman, the team captain, set social media ablaze in an earlier round of the competition against Emmanuel Cambridge, when his quick-fire answers secured 120 out of his team's winning 170-point score.

His mixture of facial expressions and upward inflections on his answers also caught the eye of many. 

However, the star told The Telegraph, external he was baffled by the attention.

"I certainly don't think of myself as any object of desire," he said.

"I assume people are being ironic, not serious."

Meanwhile, in an interview with Cambridge News, external , he continued: "I have had several people recognise me and approach me in the street since my television appearances.

"I try to remember the nice comments and forget the strange ones."

University Challenge contestant Eric Monkman, captain of Cambridge's Wolfson College team, has become a social media sensation thanks to his intense delivery and incredible general knowledge, with "Monkmania" sweeping the nation.

But just how did he come to know so much?

And do we - in an age when we're supposedly sick of experts - need a hero like Monkman?

Peterborough United manager Grant McCann says he "needs to get to the bottom" of why they have been inconsistent this season, in a bid to improve their form next year.

Posh's four match unbeaten run in League One came to an end on Saturday with a 1-0 defeat at bottom club Coventry.

Craig Mackail-Smith missed a penalty to add to the team's woes.

"It's just been an inconsistent season", McCann said.

"I don't know why some of [the players] get above their stations. We win a couple of games and they think 'I'm a good player'.

"It's something that needs to be nipped in the bud for next season."

Posh host Fleetwood on Good Friday, then travel to Wimbledon on Easter Monday.
