Fat Sue tells off Katie Derham, threatens to eat her
Oh my God, this is absolute genius. Comedy Dave has just been telling Moyles listeners about the ‘large’ lady who featured in the record breaking Lucien Freud painting which has just sold for £17.2m. BBC News seem to think that she is actually referred to affectionately as ‘Big Sue’ but something obviously went wrong within ITN’s newsroom and this is the result…
ITV screwed us for millions – but Leon beat Rhydian, so its all ok really UPDATED
Ofcom has announced record fines for ITV of £5.675m over the phone-in scandals. About bloody time too. Apparently,estimated losses put projected fines at over £30m according to MediaGuardian, and though it has been noted that ITV donated almost £8m to charity in recognition of this, I still can’t help but think they’ve got away with blatant pilfering of our hard earned cash. Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway is apparently the biggest offender (no wonder those pesky little midgets are always so bloody perky) though reviews of X Factor votes have shown no irregularities, which puts and end to those Rhydian conspiracy theories. At last Leon can get on with his ever so successful career in peace…
What do you mean Leon who?!
UPDATE It now appears Robbie Williams has got himself involved in the fracas. Apparently the now chubby alien lover would only agree to present an award… if his bezzy mates A&D won which led some numpty in production to assure him that the People’s Choice award, which was believe it or not being phone-voted for by the public, would be presented to A&D despite the eventual winner turning out to be Catherine ‘Hello Doctor, Goodbye Career’ Tate! The mind boggles. A&D have however now confirmed that the shiny lump of perspex is on its way back to ITV HQ as we speak… carried presumably in a diamond encrusted jiffy bag by a butler posher than Carol Thatcher.
