A little over a year ago, when the pandemic arrested the entertainment industry, many of those who worked within it found ways to contribute to the cause. Helen McCrory and Damian Lewis launched a project to provide NHS workers on the frontline with hot meals. Lewis had just halted production on Billions and flown back from New York for lockdown; McCrory had paused filming the sixth series of Peaky Blinders. Parents to two children, they could have been excused a rest. Instead the couple’s campaign #FeedNHS raised more than £1m. When Lewis announced that his wife of 14 years had died, aged 52, “after an heroic battle with cancer”, that campaign took on an added poignancy: in her final year, living with an illness she kept private, McCrory used her remaining energy to give back. I interviewed McCrory and Lewis about #FeedNHS exactly a year ago. They were in lockdown in Sudbury, Suffolk, with their children, Manon, 14, and Gulliver, 12, and sounded less like television’s most eminent couple and more like professional fundraisers. Time was of the essence. Chitchat was ushered aside, they had been up early every day, hitting the phones, learning about supply chains, calling in favours and putting words into action. “We have a lot of friends in the NHS, so we spoke to them about what it’s like on the frontline,” McCrory explained. They discovered that access to hot meals was a challenge while hospital canteens were closed, so contacted John Vincent, CEO of Leon. Soon, they’d raised £1m, and built a coalition that delivered some 25,000 meals to staff across 55 hospitals. “I think we do feel we have a sense of purpose, [but] I’ve found it quite stressful, being all hands to the pump,” Lewis said. “For some it’s been time to switch off, but we were flat out.”

The latest TikTok challenge involves turning yourself into a silhouette against a dramatic pink and purple sky. It’s essentially a variation on the famed “Silhouette Challenge”, but possibly even easier to achieve. And best of all: there’s no possibility of your video being exploited by creepy men as the original Silhoutte Challenge sadly was. It’s called the Aurora Challenge because the otherworldly pop song “Runaway” by Norwegian artist Aurora is generally used as its soundtrack. In the UK, Aurora is probably best known for singing “Half the World Away”, the beautiful ballad which featured on the 2015 John Lewis Christmas advert. Aurora didn’t invent this TikTok trend, but she has definitely embraced it, and demonstrates how cool and it looks in the TikTok below. @iamauroramusic I love this trend so much 🥀 there is so much beauty in this world. ##runawayaurora ##runaway ♬ Runaway – AURORA Anyway, the good news is that like the original Silhouette Challenge, it’s pretty easy to pull off. All you need to do is open your Instagram Story, then scroll though the various filters into you reach the magnifying glass icon. At this point, type “Runaway Aurora” into the search box, and a variety of dramatic sky filters will appear. Then, click “try it”, have a play around with a few different poses, and hit save when you’ve made a video you like. You’re then ready to upload the finished clip to TikTok. Even if your take on the Aurora Challenge isn’t quite as stunning as this one by TikTok user @jenni.kerr, it’s bound to add a bit of otherworldly drama to your TikTok feed. @jenni.kerr It’s the reflection on the water for me 🥰 ##sunrise ##beach ##dancer ##dance ##sea ##runawayaurora ##free ♬ Runaway – AURORA Like what you see?
