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.

Kiell Smith-Bynoe has shared his hilarious reaction to a photo of himself used by the BBC to promote the Christmas special of Ghosts.

Smith-Bynoe stars opposite Charlotte Ritchie and Lolly Adefope in the hit sitcom, which began in April 2019.

The series follows a couple who move into a country house already inhabited by a number of ghosts.

On Tuesday (6 December), the official Twitter account for BBC Press office shared a post promoting the forthcoming Christmas special episode.

The announcement was accompanied with a promotional picture that showed the cast members taking a festive-themed photo.

In the centre are Ritchie and Smith-Bynoe in character as Alison and Mike Cooper, sitting on a red sofa.

Smith-Bynoe shared his reaction to the photograph on Twitter, asking: “WHAT have they done to my mouth in this picture?”

Fans have since reacted to the post laughing, sharing their own reactions to the photograph.

“It looks like it’s facing the opposite way of the rest of your face,” one person said.

Another added: “Oh Lord, they have done you dirty.”

One fan noted that it looked like someone had “edited out a turkey drumstick”.

“Did you have a dental appointment that day and was still numb from the injection?” asked a fourth person.

The Ghosts Christmas special will air on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on Christmas Day (25 December) at 7.25pm.
