“Do I cry much? Yes, I’m a sensitive soul” With a new season playing the unlikely romcom hero in the TV adaptation of Jilly Cooper’s bonkbuster Rivals on the horizon, the second coming of actor Danny Dyer (@officialdannydyer ) shows no signs of stopping. Initially best known for playing on-screen hard men, his varied career has seen him work with everyone from Harold Pinter to Shane Ritchie. Having caused no end of drama in Walford on EastEnders, is his latest incarnation as a middle-aged heart-throb Dyer’s biggest surprise move? In tomorrow’s @gdnsaturday magazine, he goes for a pint with Simon Hattenstone to talk about everything from meditation, masculinity and mending his relationships, to his thoughts on Britain’s political divides.

Moments after Christine Dawood took this photo of her husband and son, they climbed inside the Titan submersible to dive to the ocean floor and see the wreck of the Titanic. Within hours, communication was lost. Four agonising days later, they were confirmed dead along with everyone else onboard. In tomorrow’s @gdnsaturday , Christine talks to Pamela Gordon about the days spent searching for the missing sub - and what happened next.

“Words can tell a story, but it’s pictures that will make you believe in it. Such is the power of a photograph; the ability to strip away illusions, to illuminate something hidden, and sometimes force us to accept unpalatable truths.” That’s how Gaby Hinsliff introduces this week’s photo special, a round-up of scandalous photos that changed the world. Spanning CCTV shots of health secretary Matt Hancock, caught snogging his mistress in the middle of a pandemic, Hugh Grant posing for his police mugshot after being caught with a sex worker, and Michael Jackson dangling his baby son from a hotel balcony, it’s a look back at recent history through pictures that have altered its course.

She’s the writer behind some of the biggest heartbreak bangers of all time: Robyn’s Dancing on My Own has helped thousands dance away the existential pain. Now the pop maverick returns with a record documenting her journey to becoming a mother on her own via IVF. In tomorrow’s @gdnsaturday she talks to Kate Lloyd about her early fame, sexual empowerment and why she’s more excited about this album (the intriguingly named Sexistential) than ever before.

“Of course, the dream is to be a standup comedian, but everyone who knows me says, ‘Please don’t do that!’, Riz Ahmed @rizahmed tells Simran Hans @simranhans in this week’s Saturday cover feature. The writer, actor, director, producer and MC may have been kidding, but he is stepping into his funny-guy era as he sends up Hollywood with Bait, his comedy drama about an ailing actor who finds himself in the running to be the new James Bond. He tells Simran about the weird real-life experiences that inspired the show, how it feels to win an Oscar and why he’s loving being a dad.

Serious, slick… and standing for president? He’s the Californian politician with movie-star looks and a picture-perfect family, dogged by accusations of being a smooth-talking elitist. But Gavin Newsom may just be the man to save the Democrats and win the most powerful office in the world. In tomorrow’s @gdnsaturday , he talks to Jonathan Freedland about populism, ‘purity tests’ - and punching back at the president.
