Oh, they're dropping like flies, aren't they now? It's dreadful. Every time I wake up,

there's somebody else who's died. Oh, cricky. We'll talk about that. Well, we talked about it a lot on the program,

so I thought I'd leave it. Sad about Leslie Joseph, she was kicked off

the Strictly Come Dancing, and then it turns out, in the bake-off, it turns out that Mary,

Berry and Paul Hollywood don't bake the cakes, but I mean, I wouldn't have thought they'd

bake the cake. What do they wouldn't do that for? I do still question, poor old Mel and Sue, what in God's name do they add to that programme, apart from smutty innuendos?

You know, I mean, there's not really a lot else in there, is there?

Also, I think it's, is it Relly C has been kicked off the X factor?

I mean, to be honest, who gives a toss?

I mean, I don't want to be rude about it, but frankly, it's only a competition. It's not like, you know,

now this is actually going to be the death penalty for you. We're going to take you out of here and hang you by the neck until dead. No, it's just a silly little thing. Is this honey,

jeer joke or what? And she's booed. I mean, I think she's a fraud. But that's just my opinion. That's my opinion. That's based on what I've watched. And I've thought, you're not a rapper dear. You're nothing to do with rapping. You're just some silly old woman with a baseball hat on. And frankly, it's turned it into a joke. Anyway, she now gets booed all the way through the act, which kind of is probably the best thing to do, I would think. But I mean, you know, you don't have to like somebody. Because they're on the television, you don't have to like them.

You don't have to warm to them.
