This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

Bear Grylls smashed through the studio windows of ITV's flagship daytime programme This Morning on Friday.

Trailed by journalists, Grylls began his epic adventure to the sofa of the cosy daytime programme by travelling up the Thames in a motor boat, then scaling the building and swinging through the window on a rope.

The daring adventurer then kicked over a couple of vases of flowers.

While the stunt looked dangerous, Grylls said it made him "chuckle" - and it won him some fans.

However, you just can't please everybody:

Grylls has form for making dramatic entrances. He abseiled in to a New York premiere of one of his series in New York in 2009.
