Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Danny Dyer is taking on Craig Revel Horwood as Lip Sync Battle UK returns to Channel 5.

Stills from the upcoming series show Dyer dressed as late singer Amy Winehouse, in a dress, heels, lipstick and heavy eye makeup.

Dyer told The Sun of appearing on Lip Sync Battle: "I was born to do this - to be a rock star.

"There's no way in the world I will lose to Craig f***ing Revel Horwood. Of course he's my enemy [tonight] and he always will be."

The EastEnders star also performed Kasabian track 'Fire', while Strictly judge Horwood dressed as Britney Spears for her hit 'Toxic'.

This isn't the first time Dyer has proven he looks awesome in a dress.

He previously surprised fans by dressing in drag for Lucy Rose's stunning music video 'Nebraska', which was premiered on The Independent in 2016.

He said that he was honoured to star in "such a moving piece of work" and added that he felt it was important that "people should be who they wanna be regardless of race or gender".

The new series of Lip Sync Battle UK airs at 10pm, Friday 6 January on Channel 5.
