Russell Tovey had a bit of an unusual weekend. It all started off as normal – a leisurely Friday night trip to the theatre (to see Imelda Staunton in Gypsy). But things took a turn for the bizarre when he awoke in the early hours of Saturday morning to find the number of occupants under his roof had risen by one.

Did he show her the door? Did they spend the day baking scones together?

The afternoon brought us round two of the ongoing saga. After a nice walk with his dog and a workout, Tovey returned to this...
