Strictly Come Dancing: John Sergeant v James Jordan

John Sergeant's withdrawal from Strictly Come Dancing has received more press attention than it might deserve, having been covered on all the main news programmes including Newsnight as well as the obligatory It Takes Two, but it is intriguing even if you are immune to the appeal of the show. John decides to (quick) step down after numerous criticisms of him and the voting public not taking the dancing seriously and the main voice behind this was James Jordan after he and partner Cherie Lunghi got the boot on Sunday. Now James is saying John has done the wrong thing by leaving and more or less accused him of attention seeking on last night's It Takes Two. It looks to me like John's decision not to be the whipping boy anymore has not been accepted graciously, and I advise James to hang up his pumps and book a three month holiday next autumn as I doubt he'll get far with the voters.

I'm a Celebrity: Kilroy

Apart from Kilroy, the only other person who can be pleased about his stay in the jungle and re-appearance on telly has to be his wife (I think he said they had only been apart for four days in over forty years of marriage). Saying that, the other contestants should be secretly elated as they know they won't be the first to go and the celebrity ego will remain intact. This may sound mean, but speaking on behalf of all loyal daytime telly watchers, we can't forget let alone forgive him for all the times he cut people short on his talk show - and it was his talk show as he never let anyone else get a word in.
