Abby Lee Miller is a dance instructor, choreographer and television personality best known for fronting the hit reality series Dance Moms on Lifetime from 2011 to 2019.

She founded the Abby Lee Dance Company in Pittsburgh in the 1980s, training young competitive dancers who later featured on the show.

Dance Moms followed her strict, often controversial coaching style and spawned several spin‑offs, including Abby’s Ultimate Dance Competition and Abby’s Studio Rescue.

Away from the programme, she has appeared on talk shows, run workshops and continues to work as a high‑profile figure in the world of competitive dance.

Ms Lee Miller has now taken the trip over to Oxford to speak to university students and look around the historic city.

Taking to her official Instagram, the 60-year-old posted a video this week showing her at Oxford Union as well as moving through Oxford University buildings.

In the caption, Ms Lee Miller wrote: “What an incredible honour!

“I was invited to speak at the Oxford Union at the University of Oxford, and I’m still pinching myself.

“I met so many talented, intelligent, and inspiring individuals, shared stories from my journey, and had the opportunity to connect with future leaders from around the world.

“To stand in such a historic room and share my voice was truly unforgettable… and now I can forever say I have spoken at Oxford!”

Rachael Vaughan was killed by her boyfriend Robert Richens at her home in Sherwood Avenue, Abingdon on May 30 last year.

The 40-year-old, described by Judge Ian Pringle KC as a “highly vulnerable” woman, was repeatedly attacked by Richens on the night of her death.

Richens, who was 35 at the time and from Oxford, made efforts to clean up the body of his victim and her flat in the aftermath.

And now, with a refurb in the kitchen and shower room, the one-bedroom flat is available to rent.

Marketed by Finders Keepers in Abingdon, the flat is available for £1,300 per calendar month, at the higher end of the average rental price for one bedroom in the Abingdon area.

It comes with a “delightful” and large double bedroom, a living room, private garden with on-street parking, a refurbished shower room and a newly fitted kitchen with integrated appliances.

However, no Playstation will be included as the flat is unfurnished.

Richens, in a video that went viral, admitted his crime when he was arrested but was heard telling police officers: “I’m going to miss GTA 6.”

In England there is no specific “murder disclosure” statute, but agents and landlords must disclose any material information about a property.

And recent murders or violent deaths can fall into that category so they may have a legal duty to tell you, especially if you ask directly.

Jailing the murderer for life with a minimum of 16 years and one month, Judge Ian Pringle KC said: “You subjected Rachael to a brutal attack in her own home.

“You punched, kicked and stamped on her repeatedly. You were responsible for several major rib fractures and a traumatic brain injury.

“The pain and suffering she must have endured is an aggravating factor in this case.”

After carrying out the violent act, Richens spent five hours in Ms Vaughan’s home, cleaning up her body, changing her clothes and cleaning the space.

At one point, the court heard, Richens told an officer “I could have dismantled it”, words which prosecuting counsel Neil Moore said were “particularly chilling, knowing what the defendant did for five hours with the body of Rachael Vaughan.”

The murderer then called the police and turned himself in and in the call, played to the court and later released by the force, Richens said: “I thought I’d tell you something quite serious. What I’m about to tell you, I’ve done something quite serious.

“You’re not going to believe it, I think I accidentally killed someone. She’s just not moving. I’m being honest because I’m ashamed of what I’ve done, I thought I’d hand myself in.

A student at Henley College has died and two other young people are being treated following an outbreak of meningitis in Reading.

One of the cases has been confirmed as meningitis B (MenB), which was the same strain behind a cluster of fatal cases in Kent earlier this year.

Close contacts of the cases are being offered antibiotics as a precaution, the the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) said, as it reassured that the risk to the public currently remains low.

In a statement issued on Thursday, the UKHSA said that its specialists were “working with local authority and NHS partners following three cases of meningococcal infection (meningitis) in young people in Reading”.

The student who died in the latest outbreak in Reading attended Henley College in Oxfordshire, the Hart Surgery in Henley-on-Thames said.

“Dear patients. We have been in contact with the UK Health Security Agency this morning (14th May) regarding the very sad news that a student at Henley College has died with suspected meningococcal disease,” the GP surgery said in a statement.

“They have confirmed that they are actively contacting those who may be at risk due to a close association with the student involved.

“If you have not been contacted by the UK Health Security Agency, then currently you do not require any treatment. Staff and students have been advised they can attend the college as usual.

“The number of confirmed cases is very low so there are currently no plans for a local emergency meningitis vaccination programme.”

Two students died in a meningitis outbreak in the Kent area in March – 18-year-old Juliette Kenny, who was described by her family as “fit, healthy and strong” before her death, and a University of Kent student.

Dr Rachel Mearkle, consultant in health protection, said: “We understand that many people will be affected by this sad news and would like to offer our condolences to the friends and family of this student.

“Students and staff will naturally be feeling worried about the likelihood of further cases, however meningococcal meningitis requires very close contact to spread and large outbreaks as we saw in Kent recently are thankfully rare.

“We are working closely with partners and have provided public health advice and precautionary antibiotic treatment to close contacts of the cases.

“Meningococcal disease does not spread easily and the risk to the wider public remains low.”

Meningitis Now’s chief executive Dr Tom Nutt said: “Everyone at Meningitis Now is deeply saddened and concerned to hear reports of a suspected outbreak of meningitis affecting young people in Reading and the surrounding area, including the tragic death of a young person.

“We would urge people to remain vigilant and aware of the signs and symptoms of the disease. Meningitis can become life-threatening very quickly and early diagnosis and treatment are absolutely vital.”
