Johannah's husband, Dan Deakin, also released a statement of his own detailing the wonderful legacy his wife left behind. "Johannah was first and foremost a truly amazing mother to seven children - Louis, Lottie, Félicité, and two sets of twins, Phoebe and Daisy and Ernest and Doris - whose individual talents and success are testament to the principles and beliefs she instilled in them. She was also an incredibly proud grandmother to [Louis' son] Freddie.

This week on Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., the Malicks spent some quality time with Hive, May went mano a mano with a formidable foe and Daisy made an explosive discovery.

On paper, Dancing With the Stars‘ TV Night looked like a hot mess.
A samba set to the Gilligan’s Island theme song? A jive choreographed to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles soundtrack? A quickstep courtesy of The Jeffersons? It sounded as though the ABC reality staple was handing us laughable routines on a silver platter.
In execution, though, TV Night was arguably the strongest installment of Season 21 thus far, allowing for innovative choreography, over-the-top set pieces and dance styles that challenged even the most impressive celebrities on the roster. (Except for that samba set to the Gilligan’s Island theme song.

Brian Dunkleman hosted the Fox competition's first season alongside Ryan Seacrest, before the latter took sole control. History has not been kind to poor old Brian since, with Fox TV CEO Dana Walden joking about a possible reunion for the pair.

Daisy Donovan is to make her TV comeback later this month.
The presenter became one of the UK's top new broadcasters in the late 1990s as part of Channel 4's The 11 O'Clock Show, which helped launch the careers of Ricky Gervais and Sacha Baron Cohen.
She went on to present the Channel 4 travel-sketch series Daisy Daisy in 2003 and the Us show Daisy Does America in 2005.
However, Donovan explained that she decided to turn her back on fame, describing herself as a "low-grade celebrity". She later started a new career as a screenplay writer and part-time actress.
"I was tired," she told The Daily Telegraph. "It's hard to put that much of yourself into something and not get the results you want. I was happier writing and being at home and mooching. I was not interested in going on telly.
