Friday 23rd November 10:20pm - I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here Linda Robson leaves the camp Actress, Linda Robson is the third celebrity to leave "I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here" and its not surprising, although I'd rather Eric have left instead.  Linda kind of got sidelined among her camp mates and hadn't really had a chance to shine for viewers. Linda seemed pleased to leave

Hollyoaks Channel 4 weekdays 6:30pm is back as The Top of the Soaps for me after the explosive “wedding crashers” storyline last week. Four deaths, one critical patient, an unwanted pregnancy revealed and a whole bag of drama awaits those mourning the deceased. Rot in hell Maddie So the wicked witch bitch Maddie finally got her comeuppance. A burning piece of flying debris in her face

Strictly Come Dancing may be winning the rating wars, but after this weekend (18th November 2012, X-Factor is the show that everyone's talking about. Denise Van Outen headed the leaderboard with her Egyptian performance Strictly came live from Wembley Arena this weekend and the usual favourites, Denise Van Outen, Lisa Riley, Dani Harmer and Kimberley Walsh all dazzled on the dance floor,

Soooo, its been a week since 'I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!' started on ITV 1. The politeness has been broken as the celebrity camp mates have settled into their jungle home, personalities are showing (or not), egos are growing and its almost time for viewers to vote to save their favourite stars. Let's see how the line-up fares so far in good TV value. Ashley Roberts : The

The competition in Strictly Come Dancing 2012 BBC 1 (Saturday and Sunday) is hotting up now. There's no clear favourite front runner in the celebrity ballroom series but the ladies are running the show. The likes of Dani Harmer (aka Tracy Beaker), Denise Van Outen, Kimberley Walsh and Lisa Riley have shown some nifty footwork. Victoria and Brendan 10th November I have to say this...and

For the last two weekends I've been trying to work out who ITV1's X Factor's Kye Sones (below) reminds me of.  Then it clicked this evening... Kye Sones Cast your minds back to Big Brother 2010, series 10 and the wacky rich kid contestant, Frederick "Freddie" Fisher, better known as half-wit.  They seriously look alike. Don't you agree? Freddie aka Half-wit

I really wish soaps would portray poorer people with a bit of class. The homes of Ste in Hollyoaks and Billy and Lola in Eastenders resemble time warps from the late 70's to early 80's. I know plenty of people in tough financial situations and although they're poor, they've got a bit of style. How much would a tin of paint cost? They probably sell paint in the Pound Shop or some

1989 tearjerker “Steel Magnolias” is one of my all-time classic favourites so its good to hear the film has been remade, as a TV movie in the US with an all black cast featuring, Queen Latifah, Phylicia Rashad (Cosby Show), and singer/actress Jill Scott. The original movie, starring Dolly Parton, Julia Roberts, Shirley McClaine and Daryl Hannah portrayed a community of strong 'steel' women in

Emmerdale fans have been promised a treat of sensational drama in their upcoming 40th anniversary episode in October.  Two births (Gennie and Debbie), two weddings (Declan and Katie and Chas and Dan) and a 'shocking, unexpected' death of a male character.  Of course, producers want to keep tight lipped about the character meeting their TV maker for the shock value and high viewing

As an eighties child, I grew up watching Dallas. When the US TV series returned to our screens last week on Channel 5, I was one of the 3.4 million viewers who tuned in to watch it and was satisfied with the Southfork drama and anxiously anticipated watching it tonight to see what the young Ewing cousins were getting up to.

For a long time I've been saying The Only Way Is Essex's, James "Arg" Argent is a double of DJ, Musician, Producer, Mark Ronson.  My friends can't see the likeness but take a stone or four from TOWIE's Arg and the pair could pass as twins.

This years Celebrity Big Brother 2012, Channel 5, is proving to be a mad one... “Superbitch” Jasmine Lennard, “Wish List” rinser, Danica Thrall, “Bad Boy Cheater”, MC Harvey and “Poison Penmate”, Samantha Brick were the “obvious” main characters put in the house to stir up controversy.

Recent storylines in UK soaps has seen quite a number of male characters experiencing 'male-bashing'. Alfie Moon played by Shane Ritchie Poor Alfie in Eastenders (BBC1) is unaware that his beloved wife, Kat, is up to her cheating ways again. He goes out of his way, running around after and trying to please Kat, their son, Tommy (who is not biologically his), Kat's friends daughter, Shenice

I haven't seen the latest Sky 1 big budget drama, Sinbad.  However, after quick peeks at the promo's I've noticed that Elliot Knight, who plays Sinbad, has a striking resemblance to UK X-Factor's 2006 winner, Leona Lewis.  Minus the facial hair, of course.

My friend Joelle, like me, is a Big Brother (Channel 5) fan.  As well as being entertained by the the backstabbing and bitchiness in the house this year, we've also become fixated with Caroline's (static) hair.  Whilst browsing on the web, Joelle found a lookalike: Cuddly Guinea Pig Big Brother 2012 Housemate Caroline I agree the similarities are there but the guinea pig is
