Stars including a former James Bond actor celebrate the 10 anniversary Brit Week Gala

Former James Bond star George Lazenby has backed Idris Elba to be the next actor to play 007. The Australian said there would be 'a lot of people scratching their head' if a black actor was cast as the character, created by Ian Fleming, but he believed hiring Elba would be a 'good idea'. Meanwhile, actress Maxine Peake has insisted being 'very pro-Palestine' does not make her anti-Semitic as she defended Jeremy Corbyn's response to the row engulfing the Labour party.
