Answers

1. It's David Cameron, ahead of an interview with Andrew Marr. But a number of the fixtures and fittings do indeed come from Habitat, as the Guardian newspaper found when it set about unpicking the interior.
2. It's coffee for Laura. President Bush said at his last press conference in the top job, on Monday: "I wake up in Crawford on Tuesday morning, I mean, Wednesday morning, and I suspect I'll make Laura coffee."
3. Winslet gasped out: "I'm so sorry Anne, Meryl, Kristin, and oh God, who's the other one?... Angelina." She also scooped the Best Supporting Actress award at Sunday's ceremony.
4. It's the Heathrow plan, according to comic Alistair McGowan. Robinson, who has two adult children from his former marriage, is planning a summer wedding.
5. Advert is the missing word. A Ukrainian woman getting married in London has advertised for 30 "decent" guests to sit on her side of the church, as only her parents can come to the ceremony.
6. It's a draught horse in her poem Paternoster. She won the £15,000 poetry prize on Monday.
7. The Prisoner - known only as Number Six - angrily resigns as a secret agent and is then kidnapped, a sequence shown at the start of each episode. It is not clear who takes him captive - his own side, or his side's enemies. But a giant balloon patrols the village, preventing escape.
