Morning, everybody, welcome along.

It's Monday the 17th of December.

I can't believe it either.

I can't believe it, but it is, and hopefully you should have sort of got most things sorted out for Christmas.

I bet if you like most people, you haven't done anything at all at the moment.

So it's going to be a very busy week this week. Over and strictly come dancing, the winner was

announced, Stacey Dooley. Now explain something to me. I don't want to appear naive or uncharitable,

but they go, now she's won strictly, apparently the BBC going to line her up for loads of high-profile shows. I'm thinking, what, because she can dance?

I mean, she doesn't demonstrate any personality or anything like that. All it did, and they go,

oh yes, I think she'll be lined up to do the one show and then she'll have her own series.

I think, what, because she's danced? How does that work? And the answer is it's free publicity for the BBC. That's exactly what it is. It's all carefully contrived. You know, it's contrived in the fact that they put people on there who they want to draw attention to. And she's been around long enough now and her career hasn't really gone anywhere. So this is where she wants to be seen as sort of a presenter, so she might do the one show. Whether she's going to be any good at it is neither here nor there.

You know, there's no evidence.

She hasn't done any presenting before.

You know, she's made the documentaries.

Joe Sugg has confirmed that Diane Buswell romance.

And so that's nice, because originally we weren't saying anything because they were about five years old.

Now they're a little bit older.

And at 27, yeah, I've got a girlfriend.

And we're all going, yeah, rivetingly dull, who cares?

Ashley Roberts snogs Giovanni Panichi at the rap party as they continue to fuel the romance rumours.

Nobody likes her.
