I don't know what I'm going to do in the next five years. I don't know what I'm going to do next year," Deba Hekmat tells me. "I wouldn't label myself as an actor, a personality, a model or anything like that. I'm just extremely grateful to be able to work in spaces that allow me to collaborate on things that are bigger than me."

Last Swimis the first lead acting role for Deba Hekmat. After the plaudits, she'll be divingin for more

She's certainly doing that. Her new film, Last Swim, won two awards at the Berlin International Film Festival, and is out on Friday. Hekmat, 23, plays Ziba, a school leaver who joins her friends for one last day of partying and carousing around London. As they ride the Tube or relax in the city's parks, Ziba is hiding a dark secret from them.

Review: Need a sound night's sleep? These earbuds can even cancel your neighbours

I am incredibly noise-sensitive. I have the disposition of an irritable bat, which is only exacerbated in a sleep setting. And I have neighbours whose noise is constant: coughing, kids screaming, shouting.

Shabana Mahmood faces revolt over her asylum changes

DAILY MAIL “For the millions in this country who want an end to unchecked illegal migration, Shabana Mahmood’s proposals for a Danish-style asylum system are a decent start.
