Welcome to your Daily Lowdown podcast from HELLO!. Today, we're discussing Billie Eilish taking out a restraining order after a terrifying stalker ordeal.

We're also discussing the tragic news that actor Julian Sands has gone missing during a hiking trip in California. Take a listen to today's episode below...

Billie Eilish has requested a restraining order against a man who allegedly broke into her parents' home. The Bad Guy singer said she feared for her safety after a 39-year-old man named Christopher A. Anderson turned up at the property in California "uninvited and unannounced", according to official court documents. Billie also alleged in the papers that the man turned up to profess his love for the award-winning star multiple times in December, he was subsequently arrested on suspicion of burglary. Billie's emergency protective order was put in place following a more recent break-in at the beginning of January.

British actor Julian Sands has been reported missing after going hiking in California. The 65-year-old, who is known for roles in popular films such as Smallville and A Room with A View, disappeared last Friday in the San Gabriel Mountains in north Los Angeles. Police on the scene were forced to abandon their search at the weekend because of the risk of avalanches and bad weather, but have since continued their efforts via drones and helicopters. Friends and other stars in the industry including Samuel West have expressed their concern for Julian and are praying for his rescue. 

Lewis Capaldi is currently enjoying his European tour in front of thousands of concert-goers, but his most recent Manchester gig was brought to a sudden halt when a fight broke out in the crowd. The Forget You singer took to the AO Arean to belt out hits such as Someone You Loved and Hold Me While You Wait, when the altercation was brought to his attention. Lewis addressed the moment by saying to the crowd that people were scrapping and that they should be removed. Take a listen to the moment here. Once the issue was addressed by security, his fans then began chanting in Lewis' favour before he started his song from the beginning.
