Yes — the BBC has officially confirmed Delta Goodrem is out of this weekend's Icons Week. On its Media Centre page (published 06:35 pm, 12 October 2026), a Strictly spokesperson said: "Due to injury, Delta Goodrem has been advised by doctors to rest and, as a result, will not dance on this weekend's Strictly Come Dancing. In line with the rules of the show, Delta and Kai will receive a bye through to next week when it is hoped they will be able to dance again. We wish Delta the very best as she continues her recovery."

Affected French chains: Intermarché (about 150 stores, owner Les Mousquetaires, plus its Netto banner), Coopérative U (including Super U), Carrefour Market, Monoprix and E.Leclerc (France's largest chain; Auchan was contacted but didn't comment). French outlets reported roughly 250–350 stores hit. Attackers hijacked internet-exposed Danfoss AK-SM 8xxA refrigeration controllers running older control software and triggered their built-in automatic defrosting to push fridge temperatures up to 50C for about six hours, spoiling fresh/frozen food and reportedly causing fires; CISA had warned in 2025 of two Danfoss flaws (CVE-2025-41450 auth bypass, CVE-2025-41451 command injection), and researchers found ~1,590 Danfoss systems exposed in France. Intermarché said fresh/frozen display units were out of service and it pulled products "as quickly as possible"; Les Mousquetaires said it threw all food away to avoid health risks; Coopérative U's CEO Dominique Schelcher confirmed the attack, called it "extremely serious and unprecedented... unacceptable," and said an investigation would be conducted. The Paris prosecutor opened an investigation and ANSSI was tasked to probe it. On store opening

On Sunday night (Oct. 11-12, 2026), Selma Blair, 54, was arrested after an incident aboard Delta Air Lines Flight 938 from Los Angeles (LAX) to New York's JFK. According to police and law-enforcement sources, she allegedly tried to open a plane door mid-flight, hit one flight attendant and bit another; two flight attendants were injured (one bitten, one with a laceration) and one was hospitalized, and the crew restrained her. Port Authority Police and the FBI were called to the gate around 11 p.m.; Blair was taken to Jamaica Hospital for evaluation, where she allegedly kicked a PAPD officer in the ambulance and assaulted a nurse. The FBI said it is investigating a "potential assault" onboard, and a law-enforcement source told CBS the FBI is charging her with two counts of assault (Fox 10 noted charges were not yet clear at its publication). Blair's attorney said she "experienced a medical emergency that led to the alleged conduct," received immediate medical attention and is in stable condition; she remains in custody and her service dog is with her attorney. Delta said it has "zero tolerance for unruly or unlawful behavior."

Variety's report (by Ethan Shanfeld, Oct 12, 2026) says Selma Blair was arrested Sunday after an alleged violent incident on a Delta flight from Los Angeles to New York. She allegedly punched one flight attendant and bit another after trying to open the plane door while in the air (per TMZ). On landing at JFK around 11 p.m. (ahead of schedule), police at the gate took the 54-year-old Blair into custody and transported her to a hospital for evaluation; two flight attendants reported injuries, one treated at a hospital. The Port Authority confirmed her identity and a source says the FBI is investigating. Blair's rep said she suffered a medical emergency that "led to the alleged conduct" and she is in stable condition; Delta stated zero tolerance for unruly behavior with no operational impact. The article also notes a prior 2016 incident where Blair was removed from a flight on a stretcher after a "total psychotic blackout."
