Feedback: GAVIN & STACEY (series 3)
Young ‘Gavlar’ and Smithy are back, and for me it feels like they have never left. Sure Gavin has moved from Essex to Wales, and the series has made the jump from BBC3 to BBC1, but other than the geographic co-ordinates it all just feels the same. Read Full Story

I’M A CELEBRITY… I Gino really Adam Sandler in disguise?
This has really been bothering me since this series of I’m a Celebrity started… Before the series aired I had never heard of Gino D’Acampo, and I can never remember seeing him on the television before.

I’M A CELEBRITY… Lucy and Katie heading home
So the pressure got to be too much for Katie Price, or perhaps it was the realisation that most people in the UK don’t really like the publicity hungry minx… Whatever the real reason is, Katie quit the jungle as predicted on this blog yesterday.
