Abbey Clancy has called for an all-star version of Strictly Come Dancing.
The model won the show in 2013 with Aljaz Skorjanec, and would love to take to the floor with once more.
She told Hello! magazine: ‘I just want Strictly to do an all-star series so I can do it all over again.’
If a winners’ version were to happen, Abbey would be joined in the line-up by such celebs as Louis Smith, Jill Halfpenny, Caroline Flack and Chris Hollins.
Phil Mitchell has been at the heart of some of EastEnders’ most dramatic storylines from affairs to car crashes and a near fatal shooting.
But the Walford veteran, who has been played by Steve McFadden for 25 years, is about to be at the centre of what could be his own downfall as he discovers he has Cirrhosis of the liver.
And it’s leading him to an early grave.
The tough-guy has battled with alcoholism for years and despite getting sober he has fallen off the wagon and is now watching his life spiral out of control.
Eight years after stealing an entire US election cycle with their parodies of Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler were back on SNL to do it once again.
The former Saturday Night Live stars were guest hosts of the latest episode, in which one of the skits called ‘The Ghosts of Elections Past’ saw Amy return as 2008’s Hillary opposite 2015’s Hillary, now played by Kate McKinnon.
In the skit 2015 Hillary settles into bed for the night safe in the knowledge that she nearly has the Democratic nomination locked up.
But then she’s awakened by 2008 Hillary who warns her not to get too cocky, as in 2008, ‘someone named Barack Obama stumbled out of a soup kitchen with a basketball and a cigarette and stole my life’.
The pair then riffed on the changes that have happened in eight years – ‘who’s Benghazi?’… Read the full story
Call The Midwife star Judy Parfitt has said programmes like Downton Abbey and Poldark use ‘sex’ to become popular with viewers.

EastEnders star Shona McGarty has been targetted by a revenge porn plot in which man is trying to tout private pictures from her youth.
The 24-year-old actress, who plays Whitney Dean in the BBC soap, is said to be ‘upset and shocked’ by the actions of a man she believes is trying to see the images stolen by a third party years earlier.

Those found guilty of publishing revenge porn can be sent to prison for a maximum two years, as the crime… Read the full story
When Barack Obama isn’t busy running America, he sometimes takes time out to test his survival skills on TV shows.
The US president appeared Bear Goes Wild With Barack Obama tonight and showed us that he’s a normal bloke just like the rest of us i.e. he has his limits when it comes to drinking his own urine and isn’t very good with smartphones.
Politely declining a sip of his own pee, he said: ‘I suppose, in extremis, it’s something that I would do – if the alternative was death. It’s not something I’d make a habit of. And I probably wouldn’t do it just… Read the full story

2015 certainly gave us plenty of telly talking moments.
Whether it was another life-threatening disaster in the world of soap, a mouth-watering bit of Great British baking or The Walking Dead making us believe someone popular had been mauled to death, there was something that got everyone talking this year.
Reality TV saw plenty of controversial action too. Perez Hilton created more than a bit of drama on Celebrity Big Brother, while I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! gave us Lady Colin Campbell and made Fearne McCann gobble a live spider.
With 2016 around the corner (and plenty of brilliant, new TV shows to go with it), test your… Read the full story

After first the nail-biting excitement and then the frustrating wheel-spinning of its last two episodes, Homeland kicked back into top gear with its finest hour of this series and one of its best ever.
*Unsurprising, what follows is filled with spoilers*
At times, this series has frustrated viewers with its leisurely pace and apparently disparate plot strands, with the central triumvirate of Carrie, Saul and Quinn kept well apart. Indeed, the hospital scene which bridges this episode and the previous one is the first time all series the three of them have been in the same scene together – and even then only just with Quinn barely emerging from… Read the full story
