Is Cher related to Hordriss and Sidriss?

Today's Metro 'newspaper' (cough-cough) has an article about Beverley Knight appearing in a stage version of The Bodyguard, and the inevitable comparisons with Whitney Houston that are surely imminent.
The title of the article is, perhaps inevitably, It's a Knight mare trying to be a new Whitney...

I did a slight double take reading this article and seeing "Knighthood: David Verey", as my brain automatically misread a couple of words!

A mysterious headline from Australia's Newcastle Herald today:
Hard Yards, Chapter 30: Knightmare season ends Tinkler's reign of error
Knightmare's 30th team (Team 11, Series 3) did rather well, so it can't be about them. Maybe it's dissing an advisor from another team. If so, tinkler would be less "you're in a room", more "urine a room".

And though they may rave
They seldom behave*

From today's Evening Standard:
Don’t be an amber gambler with holidays, pleads Robert Jenrick
Desperate appeal amid chaos and new doubt over June 21 reopening
Although the phrase "amber gambler" has its origins in a c1977 public information film about traffic light safety, many of us first encountered it via a clue scroll in Series 6 Quest 2. It sounds like Robert Jenrick wouldn't want us to travel to Witch Haven then.
