BIG BROTHER: A familiar face and tonight's big one...

Did you see last night's Big Brother, which showed the reasons behind Aaron's removal from the house?

I think it was very much justified.

There has been a lot of Joel support online since last night's episode, along with others saying that Aaron was only having a bit of fun. But lots of people have commented, saying that if a man in the house had been chasing a woman in the way Aaron was Joel, then there would be no one sticking up for his actions.

I don't think it matters who was flashing who - what does matter is the feelings of the person in the position of being exposed to. Joel numerously asked Aaron to stop, and said later in the Diary Room that he didn't know how to react as he'd never been in a position like that before, and did feel uncomfortable.
I understand that Aaron, at the time, was having 'banter' and on his removal, seemed devastated and very sorry for his actions. I also don't think that some of the other housemates, Harriet, mainly, helped matters by egging him on. Not one person thought of Joel's discomfort and mentioned to Aaron that it might be best for him to stop.

Aaron behaved inappropriately - and was given the boot 

Aaron leaving doesn't affect tonight's massive eviction - where four housemates will be evicted and replaced - but I think that last night's show may have a new effect on who actually leaves tonight, now.

HARRIET:
I liked her, and found her to be fun, feisty and honest. But I think she acted pretty immaturely last night and didn't stop to think about how Aaron may have been acting out of order. Lots of fans online have said that she also, should have been given a formal warning for her encouraging of Aaron's behaviour. I think she's signed, unwittingly, her eviction notice.

SARAH:
She may be safe, now that Harriet has received backlash. I won't mind seeing her stay, but I also wouldn't miss her if she left. I think the public are getting a tad fed up of her and Danny's non-romance. She likes him, but he doesn't fancy her. If Sarah can keep her feelings platonic, then she may get on better than trying to chase him.

DANNY:
I do like Dan, he's grown on me. The only thing which may hinder him is the Sarah thing. He's openly told his fellow housemates, and a task has also revealed, that he doesn't see Sarah as anything more than a friend. He may be affectionate, naturally, but maybe he should step back, as it could give off the wrong signals. Danny seems an all round good guy, though, and has good relationships with the others. Hope he lasts.

KIERAN:
Ah he has grown on me, too. But because of the mass eviction, he could be in danger. TO be fair, any of them could. I think the house will miss Kieran's presence and I also believe he's a good peacekeeper and a very level headed guy. Along with Danny, it's a draw between him and Chloe to stay.

CHLOE:
I think Chloe's a normal, lovely girl. But she could also be easily forgotten and slip through the net. I think it'll be a close call tonight between her and Kieran as to who stays. Jack would be devastated to lose his best mate.

AMY & SALLY:
The twins are apparently favourite to go tonight. They are big character's, but with the arrival of four newbies, may not be missed as much as if no one new was entering. Now they've made up with Jade, I'm not sure what else they will give, apart from bickers and we can do without constants of those.

So I think the twins, Harriet, Sarah and either Kieran or Chloe will go tonight.

But who will be entering?

It's been said a familiar face will be returning. Rumour has it, that if it's not first evicted Simon, then it may be 'Who is She?!' Nikki Grahame... Hmmm... Not sure I'd welcome either to be honest.

As for the brand new ones, it's whispered that they will include a 29-year-old organic chemistry student who's also a "UK Pleasure Boy" who strips across the nation. Oo-la-la!

TIME will only tell, but I'm certainly looking forward to watching tonight!

BIG BROTHER: Aaron has been removed

It's just been revealed that Aaron has been removed from the Big Brother house, for 'inappropriate behavior', which saw him apparently flash fellow housemate, Joel.

We can see exactly what happened on tonight's show, on Channel 5 at 10pm, but it's been said that Aaron was drunk and continuously flashed Joel, who asked him to 'behave himself', while some of the other housemates were said to be amused by Aaron's actions.

This will NOT effect tomorrow's big eviction, however, with the shock twist still going ahead. 

I can only imagine that Aaron's actions were really quite offensive towards Joel, as housemates aren't usually ejected without warning unless it's something really bad. 

In the past, there have been housemates who have been removed for inappropriate comments and behaviors.  Most recently, Ken Morley for racist comments and Jeremy Jackson for opening Chloe Goodman's dressing gown, on CBB back in January.

Big Brother's famous voice, Marcus Bentley, tweeted on the matter, saying:

While Aaron himself has also sent a tweet out thanking Big Brother for the opportunity to star in the house:

He seems pretty upbeat about his ejection, doesn't he?

What do you think about the rumoured reason Aaron was removed?

EASTENDERS: Bye Bye Max!

I almost wanted to cry when I saw the headline that Jake Wood was leaving EastEnders and Max Branning behind... But before I could, I realised it was only for a year long break. Phew!

I love the character of Max. And I love the way EastEnders keep him fresh. For a lothario, who's had more than a fair share of drama over the last nine years, it's almost impossible to get fed up of Max.

Even when his character's done some unforgivable things, just like with Ian Beale, as a viewer, you find yourself forgiving him, accepting what he's done and soon forgetting all about it too!

Jake Wood is looking forward to some time off to pursue other projects while he's away from Walford, saying:

"I've been at EastEnders for nine years and I feel the time is right to give Max a break. But it won't be for too long as I shall be back to see Max face another chapter of drama."

When the big boss, Dominic Treadwell-Collins came back to the Walford helm, he also made a deal with Jake to give Max a break:

"When I returned to EastEnders, both Jake and I agreed that Max has been through so much over the past 9 years that we would give both him and Jake a break when the opportunity arose. That opportunity has come and it is the perfect time to send Max Branning out with a bang that will send ripples through the Square for the rest of the year until Jake returns."

Ripples? No one does ripples like EastEnders do, especially since Dom's return as boss, so I'm really looking forward to what's in store for Max, but it's been rumoured to be due to an 'untenable situation over the summer that he can't escape.' Ooh! 

Max's departure will surely have an effect on his youngest daughter, Abi, who's living with the Mitchell's currently, to be with Ben. But with Ben's head soon to be turned by the Coker's grandson, Paul, how will she feel if (and when) she finds out about her boyfriend's disloyalty and her dad's departure? 

Just a thought, but Max's departure and/or return could also see Lauren welcomed home to Walford, too?

BIG BROTHER: The first MASSIVE twist of the series - what do you think?

Have you heard about this week's shock noms twist? And if so - what do you think?

Earlier this week, Jade, Nick, Joel, Cristian, Eileen and Aaron were all put up for eviction, and I wanted Aaron to be the one to go. But yesterday BB let Jack in on a little secret...

Those six housemates are actually safe and Jack,along with the other un-nominated housemates are actually the ones on the chopping board.
Because of his immunity timebomb, Jack was able to save himself, which means that twins Amy & Sally, Sarah, Kieran, Harriet, Chloe and Danny are all facing the boot.

I think it's a great twist, especially because Jack has been told by Big Brother that he cannot tell any of his fellow housemates about the twist, or he will be removed from the house himself.

Poor Jack has a massive secret to keep!

In an even bigger twist, Rylan revealed on BBOTS last night that not one, not two or three but FOUR of the six housemates will be leaving tomorrow night. From what I can remember, this is the biggest eviction to take place, aside from a final night.
But that, again, is not all - because the poor four will then be replaced by four BRAND NEW spanking housemates...

If you're a BB fan who's drifted from the show over the past couple of years, this is just the kind of twist to lure you back in.

To be honest, it's excited me, and I've been watching the show since launch night. Part of me even wondered if the 'Timebomb' theme would really take off, or whether it would just be little things (like Jade's luxury and Jack's immunity passes) but this one's really upped the scale, don't you think?

Out of the housemates now up for eviction, because four of them will be leaving it's kind of hard to know which way it will sway.
I'd like to see Harriet stay, because she's a good watch - funny, a firecracker, and at times unpredictable. I also think Chloe and Danny are great too, and could give us more over the others. But having said that Kieran is growing on me more and more, but Sarah and Amy & Sally are also confrontational housemates, who could give us lots of entertainment. See - it's hard to call!
If I'm completely honest, however, I think Chloe, Amy & Sally, Sarah and Kieran will probably have the least impact on the house should they go, so I hope that Harriet and Danny and both saved.

We then have new housemates to contend with (will one of them be a twist in time, and see Mr Jazz Hands, Simon, return, after being evicted during the launch?)
I hope not, and I also hope that the newbies will slot in well... It cant be hard enough for one new housemate to be accepted by the public and the housemates, let alone four. But at least they will have each other.
And things have been quite fraught over the last few days, with Jade and Nick getting caught out talking about noms and Aaron being potentially two-faced, Eileen and the twins having wars with Jade, etc... So a fresh group may be just what the Big Doc ordered!

Who would you like to see evicted tomorrow, and what kind of new faces do you want to see join?

CORRIE: The flames begin to burn

We've been promised a week to remember from Coronation Street, as it slots nicely in between Britain's Got Talent at 9pm each night.

So far, it's been a slow burner, but the heat steps up a gear tonight.

I'm not saying it's been a slow burner in a bad way, and anyone who thinks it's best to jump straight into the action can't understand the meaning of anticipation... We know what's coming, and tonight it comes.

We've also been promised surprises, twists and turns from Fire Week, with the rumour that not everyone makes it out alive.

Tracy, being Tracy, want's revenge. I loved the ode to the past last night, as she contemplated hitting Carla over the head, just as she killed her ex, Charlie. Unbeknownst to Trace, her daughter, Amy, is staying with Carla. Anyone else know why Liz asked Carla to have her granddaughter for the night, instead of just asking Ken or Tracey? A way to get Amy in danger, I guess...

While everything came to a head in the Rovers - Liz leaving Tony a voicemail telling him she knew about his affair with Tracey and the plot to rob the pub from under her nose, Kal about to propose to Leanne  but forgetting the all important ring and heading back to the flats, and Maddie and Sophie planning a holiday and their future together in a new home.
Clues to those in danger maybe?

As Tracey was disturbed by a toilet flushing, and not realising her daughter was Carla's overnight guest, she carelessly left a burning candle underneath a table lamp. It began to catch fire, and we wer left to await tonight's action.

A preview clip shows Leanne desperately trying to get into a flat, knowing Kal is there as the fire takes hold. We see her in an embrace with him, and Amy, as the flames spread.

My guess is that it won't be a happy ending for either Leanne or maybe Sophie, as two characters known to be leaving are Kal and Maddie.
Will Kal stay back to save Carla and perish?
Maddie is also the sort of character who would risk her life to help someone; look how she was during the bus crash...
If Kal is killed, or left severely injured, it'll have a rippling affect on his family. Especially his son, Zeedan, who has only just given his blessing to his dad's relationship with Leanne. Having lost their mother as children, and now their father in mortal danger, what will come of the Nasir family, next?

The fire is also set to be the start of some harrowing plots for the Street residents. We know that Simon is set to turn violent against his mum, Leanne. Could the consequences of this week begin the spiral?

Kevin Webster also has a drama of his own, thanks to crazy lady Jenny, who's about to run off with his son, Jack.
Rumour has it that Jenny will end up on the top of a building, threatening to jump with the youngster. Maybe, if Maddie doesn't get involved with the fire, she will try to be hero here, with tragic consequences?
This has been an interesting story, as it's creeped slowly upon the Websters. Sophie has never felt comfortable about Jenny, and they will soon realise why.
Having lost a son of her own, Jenny has only been clinging to Kevin, to get to Jack, who's challenging Simon Barlow for the most drama had in a young life. (Apart from Hollyoaks' Tom Cunningham, he always wins hands down!)

Lastly, maybe this will be Tracy's turning point, too? Her actions could cost her daughter's life. Enough to make her change? Only time will tell. But I'd imagine the Barlow's come out of this pretty unscathed, as they're soon to take centre stage as Corrie say goodbye to Deidre, after Anne Kirkbride's death at the beginning of the year.

Things are never going to be the same on Coronation Street again...

Have you been enjoying the fire episodes this week?

BIG BROTHER: Next to go?

It's been three days since the first 'official' BB eviction, where Adjoa was waved off. And since, there's been drama galore from the house they call Big. 

Adjoa hasn't been missed (by me, nor it seems the housemates) but then again, I think in the early stages of the game, there are still too many characters in there to cover anyone's exit. 

Over the weekend, Jade has well and truly made a name for herself... And it ain't a good one. She and Nick have been getting cosy, with many asking why she's interested in a 19-year-old Prime Minister wannabe? 

I think Jade just wants to cause ructions during her time in the house, but I also believe she does like Nick, as 'Nick', but she also loves attention, of any kind. 

After the two were named and shamed for talking about nominations, Nick - who felt terribly guilty, without needing to, as the other housemates clearly blamed Jade and Jade alone - decided to keep his distance from the polyamourous girl. He was honest with her about it, which gave him some good points in my book. 

Jade has since turned her 'affections' to Cristian, it seems. As Jack told his pal, Cris... 'Watch yourself, mate.' And I agree. After all, she can't like him that much, as he wasn't one of her chosen few to receive luxury, in her 'luxury crew'. I'm also annoyed she hadn't chosen Jack. The kid is the kindes BB contestant in years. He's selfless and deserves all the treats if you ask me!

Elsewhere, the twins Amy and Sally have shown a bit of a vicious side. I went off them a tad, after egg-gate. I think they're a little stuck up and get the impression that they look down on others. How the tables turned after one too many drinks, however, causing them to receive a telling off from Big Brother. 

Jack, once again, came to the rescue, and put the girls to bed. Or at least, tried to!  

As much as I think Jade's a bitch, it did make me laugh when I saw the twins faces after hearing Jade say she wants to nominate them. 

Joel is also growing on me slightly, and I think people get the wrong end of the stick with him at times, He has a very dry sense of humour, and I found myself laughing at his actions over this weekend's shows. 

I'm championing Eileen, too, as well as Kieran, who isn't half as bad as I thought. I still close my ears at his squeaky laugh, however. He seems to be pretty genuine, and when he was speaking to Sarah about her 'feelings' for Danny, he looked like he was trying to be a mate. 

As for Sarah and Danny, are they or aren't they? 

Who knows... My opinion of Dan has changed, and I like him. I think Sarah may now fancy him more than he does her. Over the past few years, who can name a bloke who asked a girl to leave his bed, when she wanted a drunken cuddle. Danny kept saying it wouldn't look good, and if he liked her as more than a friend, he wouldn't care.. At least he's not leading her on. For now... 

Lastly, is this week's nominations, which were revealed yesterday. 

Aaron, Cristian, Eileen, Jade, Joel and Nick are all up for the chop and in my opinion - Aaron to go.

Why? Because I find him a bit of a whinge, and apart from that he doesn't bring me much entertainment as a viewer. Whereas, as much as Jade may deserve to leave, I think she will cause a bit more troubling entertainment for us, so I'd like to give her a few more weeks yet. 

Nick and Joel are in, what I call the Floater category. They will stay afloat in the house for a while longer yet, as they're not really offendable, along with Cristian, who will be fine as long as he doesn't allow Jade under his skin too much. Then there's Eileen, who's one of my faves and deserves to stay.

Who would you all like to see out next?

BIG BROTHER: Proper Eviction Time

Friday will be the first PROPER eviction in the new Big Brother house (sorry Simon, but that's showbiz!) and it's between Eileen, Sarah and Adjoa. 

There were face-to-face nominations shown on Channel 5's highlights show last night, which I imagine made Nick feel much better about his own face to faces he had to do live on Friday, 

Nick, too, nominated Sarah (because of the money thing) and Adjoa (as he hadn't really bonded with her), and it looks like the housemates all felt the same, 

I haven't seen last night's show yet, but I also hear that Eileen was chosen because she's the eldest in the house. For me, that's unfair. I have so far found Eileen funny and entertaining to watch. I'd much rather see what she's getting up to than Pound-Sign Sarah. 

Cristian also had a lucky escape, thanks to lovely Jack, who used one of his immunity passes to save him. 

I thought Jack's passes were to save himself only? Maybe not...but if they are also to save himself, then it's a great show of his character to help Cristian out. Unsurprising, though, as it looks like the pair have spent a bit of time building a friendship over the last few days. 

Cristian surprised me, to be honest. I imagined him to be quite superficial and constantly looking for attention, but he seems very down to earth and genuine. Especially, as I read, that he broke down in the Diary Room, grateful at Jack's kindness. Lets hope he remembers this as the week's go on. 

As for Adjoa, I think she's going to get the hump at all times she's nommed. He face was like thunder and the typical 'I'm not bothered, so I'm going to talk non-stop about how not bothered I am because I'm actually really bothered' conversations will be a sure staple during her time in the house. 

My favourites so far are still Jack, Harriett and Eileen. Along with Cristian now, I think. 

As for the 'Timebombs', I think it'll be a good idea to chuck another major one in after Friday's eviction. I still wouldn't be surprised if Simon ends up returning at some point, even just for a day. 

As for this Friday - I think it'll be an Adjoa exit. Purely because Eileen will be more liked than the housemates anticipate, and Pound-Sign Sarah will just skim it. I'll be pleased for either Sarah or Adjoa to leave.

Just save Eileen, please!

Who do you want to see gone?

HOLLYOAKS: Spoiler Alert... Did you crack the case?!

Have you cracked the five clues and found out the Gloved Hand Killer's next victim?

All day, fans have been on the case, searching newspapers, magazines and websites for the missing diary entries from the murderer. 

The clues can be found in today's The Sun, Daily Star, Heat magazine, Digital Spy and the last one was revealed on the Hollyoaks Facebook page, at 4.30pm today. 

Here are the entries, with the clues:

CLUE 1 - EVERGREEN

CLUE 2 - UNICORN

CLUE 3 - NURSE

CLUE 4 - EVIL

CLUE 5 - MC and Q!

Did you solve the riddles?

I had to Google who in Romeo and Juliet said 'Oh Lamentable Day' (it was the nurse) but the others came to me - apart from the Katniss one, which a friend helped with!

So, if we take the first letter from each of the first four clues and juggle them around, we find it spells U.E.E.N. 
And the last clue's missing letters are MC and Q.

MCQUEEN.

The killers next victim is a McQueen?!

I also had a look further into the diary entries, and feel it's written by a young female, so that rids Dr S'avage from the suspect list. Also Lindsey, and possibly Tegan, as the diary entries are too eloquently written to come from those characters (no offence, girls!)
The writing, when you say it in your head sound like the language both Kim and Celine would use. It's airy, fairy. Don't you think?
And the clue about the 'Nurse' pointed me towards it being a nurse. Possibly one into magic and mystery. Celine? Or someone who loves Shakespeare? Kim?

With the next victim looking likely to be a McQueen. it puts Nana in the unfortunate position. as she ends up in hospital after a house fire this week. So surely the killer can't be Celine, as she wouldn't kill family. Would she?!

Having said about Nana... Is that too, too obvious? The victims have all (well, maybe apart from Mariam, the other night) been a shock, so Oaks bosses could have a shock up their sleeves, just like when poor Lynsey Nolan was killed by Silas.

Porsche also ends up in a hospital bed after the fire, or maybe, with Mercedes being back and a gun shot going off at Lindsey and Freddie's upcoming nuptials, the victim could have a few more weeks left before the Gloved Hand nasty strikes again.

What are you making of the clues found today?

BIG BROTHER - SummerTIME has begun, with a BOMBshell...

We knew their names a few days ago, and now, we've met them all...

Big Brother: Time Bomb has messed with our housemates already, but before I get started on all that, here's my thoughts, so far, on the one's who have entered the most famous house in the world! (Possibly!) 

Aaron:

He's a model who's had him bum in Vogue. Selfie obsessed king, who's just come out to his mum and wants to show her 'what he's about'. He looked like a zebra going in the house, and is hoping to find love, too. 

Aaron looks a sweet guy, but I'm wondering if he will end up overshadowed by some of the bigger characters. I hope not as I think he will have a lot to offer, given the opportunity. 

Adjoa:

Adjoa seemed sweet enough. She is a Ministers daughter after all. Although 'seemed' is the operative word. Adjoa is obsessed with boobs and says she can be a 'psycho bitch', who will miss her phone to have 'phone sex'. Um. Maybe sweet enough wasn't the best description after all! This girl won't last, I don't think. Unless she does turn psycho bitch, we keep her in for entertainment and she then gets booted out. That's a possible! 

Amy & Sally:

Oh dear. The twins have no idea what biological twins mean. Um, it's you, girls. 

Can't be everyone's friend and finds an annoyance in everyone. They will stick up for each other no matter what by the looks of it. They will need to mingle separately in my opinion if they're going to last, otherwise they could be rejected by their fellow housemates. Counting as one housemate, I can't see this pair going far, to be honest. But then TIME can change things, as Big Brother is looking forward to proving. 

Chloe:

Well she's not shy is she? Judgemental and not afraid to bite heads off. Will she live up to it in the house? 

Chloe seemed loud and proud of it - she actually reminded me of Charlotte Crosby. She also wore no knickers, according to, well, herself. Can you see the resemblance? 

I think she'll calm down and we will end up warming to her. If she lasts the week... and as long as she never says 'chuff in'ell' EVER again! 

Cristian:

The rapper. Likes a good production and doesn't freestyle. He says he's 'pretty established' foes to one of the best Uni's in the world studying Biochemical science. Smart and a ladies man. Cristian could do well as long as he stays in his boots without getting too big for them. 

He's suave, good looking and Emma almost made him blush on the spot. Maybe he's not as much of a ladies man as he likes people to believe!

Danny:

Demolition Danny is also a good looking guy. He signed a semi-pro football contract and likes a beer. He also likes girls. Is he a TOWIE boy in the making? 

Not a fan of 'stuck up' people, there could be a few clashes in the house. Danny seems a normal lad, competitive and in it to win it. He also says he won't play games. We'll see...

Eileen:

The eldest housemate, and the one who auditioned for The X Factor with her hubby, Bo. I do actually remember her! 

Eileen seems eccentric and a fun ball of energy. Just what the Big Brother house needs! 

For the eldest person in there, I'm betting she won't be the mother hen but more like the one growing old disgracefully... And I love it... I think! 

Harriet:

Harriet's a chip off the old block isn't she. I like her. Says it how it is, effs, jeffs, and wears eggy dresses! She seems a hoot, a girls girl, one of the lads and didn't have a clue about the lights and cameras, or how to pose for them. The only one who doesn't seem phased by the 'showbiz' of it all. Harriet's one of my faves so far. 

Jack:

'Pie-face'... Oi! (As he likes to be called). He's on the prowl for fit birds and seems a sweetheart. Is he Joel's brother by any chance?! 

I loved his hat for a fashion statement, the crowd loved him and I could see why. Seems a genuine guy on face value, and nice guys do come first. Jack, or Pie-Face, could do very well! 

Jade:

This Dublin high fashion girl thinks she's gorgeous and has no bad points. Even Eammon Holmes has never seen a girl liked her in Ireland! She's not shy, either. She's also polyamourous - meaning she likes am open relationship - which could prove interesting to watch! I actually think that she was the first normal one to go in, after Simon, Kieran and Chloe! And anyone brave enough to wear that outfit deserves a high five! Jaysus!

Joel:

Its Ed Miliband's mini-me! Look at that red tie he wore! And the hand gestures! 

This kid has a cat called Daisy, can't live without his slippers or dressing gown and rides a scooter, switching legs because one became shorter than the other! 

Bless him. He seems really sweet... Looked a bit rabbit caught in headlights when he entered the house. 

Compulsory fun and laughter is one of his policies. And anyone who wants that is alright by me!

Kieran:

How cute was Kieran's childhood photo! (Nice touch to going back in time, producers!). 

I reckon he will be the big daddy of the house. Peacekeeper, the one people turn to. Everyone's friend. But these are also the types who get backs up in the end and land right on top of the 'unpopular' pile. Kieran seems a quirky soul. Maybe a show off too. Nice jacket and shoes, too, by the way! Not so sure on the high pitched voice he shouts out, though. 

Nick:

Joel is Ed Miliband's mini-me and Nick is David Cameron's, surely! His 'friends' use him for social climbing and he likes to talk about people behind their backs. He's been expelled for being unruly, and even though promised to have grown up, will he be the obvious first ejection? 

Hopefully Chloe and Harriet can common Nick up a tad! I think he seems quite insecure to be honest and could turn into a likeable soul. Maybe. 

Sarah:

Her mum says if she got paid for arguing then she'd be a millionaire. Sarah also doesn't think she's a nice person to live with and admits being a bitch. Nice language on her VT (that stands for video tape, Lemon fans), too. For her faults so far, I think Sarah could be one to keep an eye on. I think she'll be entertaining, and we will love to hate her. 

Simon:

Mr Showbiz, eh. Does he want to be Louis Spence? He's a self-acclaimed show off too. Says he'll stand up and tell the truth. This could work in his favour, especially if he's honest to the right people and the public agree with him. This is 'just another show' for him. 'Just Simon' needs to stay just that to be as FABULOUS darling as he wants to!

Then there was tonight's twisty-pops. What did you vote for? Wasn't it brilliant! Emma admitted she thought this was the best designed house ever. Well I'm close to admitting that this was the best first night twist ever. 

I thought that Adjoa, Jack, Jade, Nick and Simon were a good variety of people to take part and the fact they chose their own fates made it a little easier on our consciences (cough cough!). 

I was glad that Jack won three Immunity passes, as he seems so lovely. Nick, like a typical David Cameron mini-me, should be fine doing three face to face noms. Although he looked gutted! 

Jade was thrilled with her luxury shopping budget to be used during her time in the house. 

It was left between Simon and Adjoa. And pulling the pin on their bomb, Adjoa was saved, having nothing in her bomb, while Simon was evicted straight away. Say whaaaaat! In the shortest BB stay ever, at least he still had Best Bits!

I do have a feeling that this year will tip the scale on mind games... Will Simon be back? Will Adjoa really be safe for long? 

Of course, lets not feel sorry for the woes our housemates are going to go through. Big Brother's been on the tellybox now long enough for any potential contestant to immediately guess all kinds of things that could happen whilst they're living in Brotherly matrimony! 

After all, time is one thing that no one can change.  Can they..?

The X Factor: All change, please!

How do you feel about the changes taking shape over on The X Factor?

Good news, I feel, is Olly and Caroline taking over from our Derms. As I previously said, I think the pair will be a real hit and already look comfy in their new roles, as they've already taken centre stage as the first batch of auditions kicked off in Manchester.

Don't they look at home!

I can only imagine that these are the 'producer' auditions, as official word on the judges is yet to be announced (hurry up Simon!) but over the weekend it was loosely said that Louis Walsh wouldn't be returning, and we already know that Mel B isn't in the running this year either.

I'm going to miss Lou Lou. He was the judge to really get people riled up, me included! His silly (in a nice way!) comments, sometimes ridiculous opinions and just his banter with Simon in general will be missed. 

Simon has said that the 'door will be left open' and Lou Lou's already been the comeback kid from years ago, when he was fired and re-hired in a matter of months! 

This morning Sarah-Jane Crawford also confirmed that she wouldn't be returning to host The Xtra Factor. 

Sarah-Jane said that due to the mass changes, and having summer work commitments, she wouldn't be back.

In all fairness, I'm not seeing this as a major loss, as to me, something with SJ didn't connect with the show. I think Stephen Mulhern should replace her. He does such a great job on Britain's Got More Talent, and is so underrated... 

Lets get a petition going!

BIG BROTHER - Tick tock, 24 hours to go

Well ALMOST 24 hours until Big Brother Time Bomb hits our screens... and over the weekend Big Brother revealed this year's housemates before they enter the place they'll be calling home for the summer...

Meet them here...

It's the first time we've ever seen who's in before launch night, but is this to do with the Time Bomb theme?

Seeing who the 15 housemates are, before the big first night, makes me wonder if there will be a (usual) twist during the launch? But a bigger one than usual... I say fifteen, but there are actually people going in, one set of twins who will count as one housemate. Remember 'Samanda'? from Brian Bello's year - yep, the last time a pair of twins entered the house, they made it to the final. So will this years lookalike siblings, Amy and Sally, do as well? I'm also wondering if we should just start calling them 'Samy' now?!

It's a youngster bunch going in this year, apart from 46-year-old Simon, from Kent, and 51-year-old Eileen from London. Simon seems a character, who's been in the Showbiz world for over 30-years, apparently, and wants to be the world's first male Margaret Thatcher. Then there's Eileen, who you may remember from being on The X Factor with her partner, Bo? No, I don't either to be honest!

I'll do a full review on each of them after tomorrow's launch. as reading a one line bio doesn't really give you a feel of what they'll be like. Saying that they look a normal, fun bunch of people, so it's looking up to being another big Big Brother Year...

Another reveal this morning from Emma Willis was the Diary Room chair...

As always, Big Brother has impressed with the most famous seat in the country.

As well as the time-playing, there has also been whispers of past housemates returning, to their 'time' in the house...

We've also already had a peak at the new-look house. I'm not sure I like knowing too much before the launch, as it takes away the element of surprise, but I have got high hopes that Big Brother won't disappoint and there are still a few secrets up his sleeves for tomorrow evening... 

What are your thought's on the first look at our new housemates?

EASTENDERS - Luckiest boobs ever...

An the winners are - Kat and Alfie Moon!

What did you all think when the Moons were the lucky lotto winners at the end of last night's EastEnders?

When the story was announced, I went through a phase of not quite thinking Kat or Alfie would be the millionaire winners, just because of the predictability of it all.

Even as the episode aired last night, I still wondered if it would be too obvious if the winners were to be them.  

But it wasn't, and it was played beautifully.

The whole episode was full of quirks, laughs and 'old Walford', if you ask me. 

Not just focusing on the Moons, but the scene where the Beale's social worker sat on Martin's condom wrapper (yep, he and ex-wife Sonia had a one night stand), and Ian swiping it away from her behind was a great sense of slapstick comedy. Then the drama followed, as Cindy, upset that the social worker wasn't pleased, possibly ruining Ian and Jane's chances of taking on her baby, Beth, let it all out at Sonia, who was gutted to be outed in front of her new girlfriend, Tina. Will their already troubled relationship last? Probably not, just because of Sonia conflicting feelings about what she actually wants... 

Back to the Moons, and their trip into London. 

I've seen on social media, that some viewers cringed at Kat and Alfie in the posh restaurant, but I thought it was a lovely build up to their win. 

Kat felt she didn't fit in, and that the 'classier' diners were above her. Really she's above them. She's real, Alfie's real and they have real love. 

Thy got back together (forever, I hope, this time!) and the two of them found themselves once again. They had each other, a bag of chips, the risk of a splinter to their bums and a scratch card that was bought so blase. 

Just as we all have done before... 

Kat and Alfie were home and in the midst of their getting back together passion, when they remembered the card. 

Alfie rubbed it onto Kat's boobs, for luck, and we heard their shrieks through Stacey, who was on her laptop, in bed. 

Alfie had scratched the card, to find their fortune. Just as any one of us would do. So who's to say it's predictable, when any one of us could actually win the lotto. Be it tonight, tomorrow or next month. Even next year.

I might buy a scratch card this weekend in homage to Kat and Alfie. I don't expect to win, just as they didn't. Just as real life lotto winners didn't expect to.

If I get the same luck as the Moons did, I'll let you know! 

HOLLYOAKS - Could YOU be a detective?

Next week in Hollyoaks, the Gloved Hand Killer will strike again.

Who dies? Who knows...

But, the lovely Oaks bosses are giving their viewers the chance to crack the case before it goes on air, in a real life hunt for the murderer.

This is one of the things I like best about Hollyoaks, they really get the interaction with viewers going. Think back to when we became jury, and decided whether or not Gilly Roach was guilty or not guilty of the rape of Jacqui McQueen...

This will be a multi-platform event, aptly named 'GlovedHandDiary and will launch directly after the killer has made his or her latest move. This time, however, police will be called to Dee Valley hospital, and they come across a diary, while collecting the poor victim's possessions. A diary belonging to the murderer.

Vital pages will fall out of the diary and then into the real world. And that's where we come in, tracking down the pages in various newspapers, magazines and online outlets. Sounds a massive campaign, doesn't it!
The clues we find along the way will give us an insight into the murderer's mind and if you manage to trace all of the clues, and solve them, you'll find that they spell out a name. This name is the killer's FOURTH victim.

Ooh - exciting!

A Hollyoaks spokespersonhas said: "Eagle-eyed viewers will notice that there are few loose pages in the Gloved Hand Diary, which fall out on their way to the police station. These pages hold clues to the identity of the owner and also to whom they will target next.
The fans that solve the mystery will be ahead of not just the police but the whole village, who are not yet aware that there is a killer in their midst. The police will discover who owns the diary later that week, but viewers will have to tune in to find out what happens next..."

The Gloved Hand Killer has already murdered Rick Spence, Will Savage and attempted to murder Diane O'Connor. 

While the main suspects are Lindsey Butterfield, Kim Butterfield, Tegan Lomax, Dr S'avage and Celine McQueen, it doesn't mean that it definitely is one of them who constantly has murder on their mind. 

Who do I point the finger at thus far? Well, I keep changing my mind each time someone new is targeted... And each of Kim, Lindsey and Dr S'avage have previous, and somewhat untrustworthy, twisted minds. 

Details and hints of where to find the missing pages will be released by Hollyoaks on its official website and social media pages when the event takes place on Wednesday, May 13th.

Happy hunting!!

BIG BROTHER: First look at new house, and an ex-housemate surprise?

The new Big Brother theme was revealed last week, as Time Bomb, and these new pictures of the brand new look house have come just in time to whet our taste buds for the kick off of the latest series...

A clock type sofa circulates the living area...

 

While the bedroom is a timeless shade of blue...

I must say I love the living room. The sofa is my favorite shade of orange, and the brown wood feel finishes it off a treat. I also adore the bath, with its wood panel finish and ocean view. 

As for the garden, there's a pool, but no sign of a hot tub. The football pitch green turf is also a staple in the BB house, but will we get a summer of sun for the housemates?

Cosy bath...

Shapely swimming pool... 

As well as the release of these pictures, Emma and Rylan have also been on the tease again - this time about who our new housemates may mingle with.
The Time Bomb theme will really play with the minds of our new BFF's for the summer, as the potential return of old housemate will use time to play with the housemates' minds. Which era of Bg Brother would you want to return to?

Rylan said: "[This year] means Big Brother can control time in all of its elements. As an ex-housemate, I know that in the house, time is the only structure you have to your day. It's the only thing that keeps you sane in that house. With this series, time doesn't mean anything. We could also revisit any Big Brother series if we wanted to which means we could even see some familiar faces..."

While Emma let slip who she would love to see return: "Someone I would have liked to see more of ­- and I don't know whether it would have been a good or bad thing - was Sally Axl. She was so hardcore. We may have missed out on a great housemate by her leaving after a week. I wonder what she might have given us!"

There are too many old housemates I'd love to see return to name, but the top three would have to be Nikki Graham, Brian Dowling and Nick Bateman (the other Nasty Nick, not EastEnders' one!)

As for the Diary Room chair - well we'll have to wait and see...

The new series returns on May 12th at 9pm on Channel 5!

EASTENDERS: Who is Kat's secret son?

Friday's EastEnders was a bit different to the usual Walford visit.

I always enjoy being taken away from the Square, and as we followed Kat to the place she gave birth to Zoe, which she was shocked to find is and always was a Convent.
June Whitfield played Sister Ruth, who delivered Zoe, and we learnt quite a lot about why Kat is the way she is.

Kat's been mentally damaged by the abuse she suffered at the hands of her uncle, Harry, but this made much more sense when she emotionally told Sister Ruth that she thought her mum, Viv, didn't believe that she had been raped. 'You know what Kat's like...' was the staple line in the family home.

Some people I've spoken to didn't like the heaviness of the episode. but I enjoyed the answers it gave to the questions about Kat that we thought we already knew. Even her shock previous affair with Derek was bought up. He reminded Kat of Harry, He was disgusting and it was like she wanted it to happen again, she told Sister Ruth. It makes sense. Kat's mum ddn't believe her, so Kat's always thought it was all her fault, so she wants to relive it to prove something to herself, maybe? To punish herself or convince herself that it isn't and wasn't her fault.
I especially liked when Kat said that she was really 'Kathleen', she was a sweet and innocent girl back then, and deep down, is still sweet, soft and in a way, innocent, now.

'Kat's been looking after Kathleen all these years. Maybe it's now time for Kathleen to look after Kat...' 

We weren't away from the Square all episode, however, and we also paid Stacey, Whitney and Lily a visit, too.
Stacey was feeling lonely, and so logged online to speak to a mystery man, who we were lead to believe was Lily's dad and Whitney's brother, Ryan.
But it was instead Stacey's brother, Sean. Who gave Stacey the mystery key, making her promise to look after it. It's important. It belongs to their dad... I wish I knew what was hiding behind the key, but I don't have a clue. Whatever it is must be big...

The back and forth between the two scenes soon came to make sense to some viewers, as when Kat returned to the Square, having told Stacey and Alfie that she  had reported what Harry did to her to the police to help with their investigations.
I'm pleased for the character. Kat, I feel, has been going round in big circles of late. She's still struggling with what happened to her as a child, and punishes herself, by ruining her marriage with affairs. But she soon told Alfie and Stacey that she's changed.
I really hope that Sister Ruth's words rang true, and that we will start to see a lot more of Kathleen now.

The sense really came into play, however, when we returned to the Convent to hear Sister Ruth being read notes from her book, from back in 1984:

Kathleen Slater.

Two children.

One girl - Zoe

One boy - ???

Gasps could be heard round London, I bet..!

The moment Kat's secret son is revealed...

When EastEnders producers said that there would still be a lot to come from Kat (and Alfie's) story, I didn't imagine that it would be this.
It's a brilliant twist, and it's given new life to Kat as a character. She only remembers giving birth to Zoe, of course, so does this mean that June Whitfield will be making a reappearance as Sister Ruth to tell Kat the truth.

There are also, I think, three theories about Kat's secret son...

1. Sean's the boy

This theory went around Friday night straight away, on social media.
Sean was mentioned throughout and in touch with Stacey, he matches the correct age of what Kat's son would be.
But I think this is a red herring from Enders.
Jean and her husband, Brian Slater, surely couldn't have kept such a secret. Especially with Jean being ever so fragile during her early (and some of her later) days on the Square with her Bipolar? I think a secret this big would have been let slip.
There's also the question as to why Charlie and Viv would choose to keep Zoe as their own, but give away her twin brother?
I doubt the baby boy died at birth, as if that was the case, I can't imagine it being such a massive secret.
If, and it's a big IF, Sean is Kat's son, then the only explanation I can see is that Jean and Brian had a boy (called Sean) who died as a baby around the same time Kat gave birth, and Kat's boy was given to the couple. Maybe Jean was in no state to realise the plotting of her husband and family-in-law, so she too, is none the wiser?

2. Kat's son is someone else on the Square

Okay, who? Any 31-year-old male Kat/Zoe/Slater-type lookalikes on Albert Square at the moment? No? Well, that's another theory gone... But wouldn't it be fab to have another 'You ain't my Muvva!' moment!?

3. Irish baby

We know that Kat and Alfie will be leaving the Square for a while at the end of the year for a six-part spin-off, which will follow them to Ireland.
Is this where they will track Kat's son down and bring him home?
As I've said, this story brings a whole new dynamic to Kat - will she find her long-lost offspring, and if so, will he want to know her? Has he got a family he loves already, and doesn't need to be welcomed into the screaming, EastEnd, Slater clan, or will he welcome a new family with open arms?
Having said what I did in the 'Sean' theory about the family keeping Zoe, but not her twin, maybe the rest of the Slater's have no idea about Kat's other child. It was only Viv present at the birth (along with Sister Ruth and Kat, of course) so did Viv make this decision on her own?
Can I also just put in a request... If Kat's son is in Ireland, and turns out to be a gorgeous Irish charmer... Emmett Scanlan, would be perfect, please. (My inner Brendan Brady #Hollyoaks obsessive would be complete!)

Were you shocked by the latest Slater secret?

Who do you think is Kat's son?
