X Factor fans were left wondering if Olly Murs was about to cry on Saturday night as Rita Ora majorly snubbed him when she listed acts from the show who have ‘made an impression’.

Olly’s name was left off the very short list and there was clear #sadnessinhiseyes as he tried to move on.

‘Honestly, I’ve watched this show and been such a fan of this show but only two people have ever made an impression and that’s Leona [Lewis] and Louisa,’ said Rita as she hugged Louisa, the 2015 X Factor winner.

Olly was a finalist on the show 2009 and he has gone on to have three UK number one albums, as well coming full… Read the full story


Former Doctor Who star Christopher Eccleston reprises his role as ninth Doctor in message for sick fan

He quit Doctor Who in 2005 after just one series and turned down the chance to return for the 50th anniversary special two years ago.

But Christopher Eccleston has chosen to reprise his role as the ninth Doctor in a special video for a sick fan.

The 51-year-old actor refers to himself as ‘number nine’ in the touching message to 14-year-old Daniel, who suffers from Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) (a genetic condition which affects the connective tissue in the body) and Postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS) (a condition which affects his heart rate).

Alan Partridge appears to be getting thrown into a lake by some hoodlums in high-vis jackets in this shot from an upcoming Christmas special.

The snap caught Steve Coogan’s toe-curling DJ getting a dunking at a remote location by the Dovestone Reservoir in The Peak Districts.

Could this be part of Alan’s new show, Knowing Me, Knowing Youths?

Whatever the case may be, it’s fair to say the Norwich fame-hunter, returning for a new series of Mid Morning Matters next year, doesn’t have much luck around water.

Previously he was trapped under a cow whilst filming a corporate video on the Norfolk Broads.

Fans of The Walking Dead are getting a bit concerned about Lauren Cohan’s new hairstyle.

As Kit Harrington’s character in Game Of Thrones has taught us, the way an actor chooses to style their hair can be taken for a MAJOR PLOT SPOILER.

And now it is the turn of The Walking Dead and its star Lauren Cohan.

Cohan has been sporting a new, very short and very smart haircut recently, which is worlds away from her choppy bob (that’s a style right?) as Maggie on the show.

Remember how our hopes were seemingly dashed when the original Xena, Lucy Lawless, confessed the project was just ‘rumour’.

Among the highlights was runner-up George Shelley who won the whole nation over before he had even set foot in Australia given that he was tipped for early victory via the #GeorgeOfTheJungle hashtag. One of the most mature, amiable and endearing members of camp, the Union J bandmate’s popularity has grown massively.

And documenting his journey to the International Space Station will be Professor Brian Cox, along with Dara O Briain, on the BBC, live from the London’s Science Museum.

‘I think it’s tremendously exciting, the country hasn’t had something of this scale to watch together for a long, long time,’ Brian tells Metro.co.uk.

‘But I’d be surprised if it was the global audience of the moon landing though!’

There might not be a global audience for when Tim launches, but there has been for space on film considering how many sci-fi movies… Read the full story

What’s not to love about Nigella Lawson’s bundts?

In her BBC Christmas special Simply Nigella, the famous cook travelled to Kansas City to find her festive spirit and while there was inspired to have a go at the Christmas tradition of making a bundt cake.

Apparently one of the easier cakes to make, the cook attempted three different sorts and implored viewers to have a go because of their easiness to make.

‘It’s just a case of mixing dry ingredients into wet ingredients,’ she told viewers as she makes three of the ridiculously gorgeous looking bundt cakes.

Crime show behemoth Luther is back for the first of a two-part special tonight and it’s been a hell of a wait.

We last saw our favourite troubled detective John Luther, played by Idris Elba, on our telly screens way back in July 2013.

Now in the first episode of series four, he begins by telling his new colleague DS Emma Jones, played by Game of Thrones’ Rose Leslie: ‘There are some things you might have heard about me that could be true.’

Mate, if she’d seen the first three series she’d be running a mile.

It’s already been announced that John’s psycho sidekick Alice Morgan, played by Ruth Wilson, will not be in these episodes, but what can we expect from them?
