The stars are tuning into Strictly but it doesn’t seem that they can agree on who is set to win this weekend.
Jason Donovan, Harry Judd and Chelsee Healy will go head to head in the Blackpool Ballroom tomorrow night and Jo Joyner admitted that she is backing the former Neighbours star.
She said:
Over The Rainbow host, Graham Norton, believes tonight’s final is “a two horse race.”
Graham said of tonight’s show, “I think it’s between two. Sophie Evans and Danielle Hope are very young but they’re tough as old boots. It’s too close to call.”
Lauren Samuels remains in the running though, and Graham told The Sun that Andrew Lloyd Webber “loves all three contestants.”
He added, “I’ve never seen him [Andrew] more relaxed… Read more & comment »
Over The Rainbow presenter Graham Norton has admitted that he feels sorry for the Dorothy wannabes who perform after Britain’s Got Talent starts.
The BBC reality TV show overlapped with the ITV talent show for half an hour last week and admitting that viewers often leave their show in favour of BGT, Graham told The Sun:
Over The Rainbow presenter Graham Norton has been gushing about his boss Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber and said that he thinks the musical genius is ‘one of the greats.’
“When we met, I was pleased we seemed to get on. But, five years on, I don’t just tolerate the man – I adore him,” Norton told the Daily Mail. “And he’s wonderful TV. He’s not trying to be the next Simon Cowell. He’s simply his glorious self.”
Graham Norton has admitted that he is confused by the BBC’s decision to buy the rights for Nigel Lythgoe’s ‘So You Think You Can Dance.’
Norton claims that the format Lyhtgoe’s show is almost identical to an old BBC show, Strictly Dance Fever, which he fronted for BBC One in 2005 and 2006.
Norton told The Mirror: “I don’t understand why they’ve bought that format from Nigel Lythgoe, when it was a rip-off, sorry, inspired by the Beeb’s Strictly Dance Fever.
Veteran Eurovision presenter Terry Wogan has said that he loved Graham Norton’s coverage this year.
Terry Werry bulgy pants told the Radio Times he thought the contest was “a spectacular show without a flaw in it”.
Terry stepped down from the show after the 2008 contest in Belgrade, where the UK’s entrant Andy Abrahams finished last. He felt the voting system was flawed and biased.
The BBC have revealed that all contestants for Graham Norton’s new show ‘Totally Saturday’ are thoroughly vetted, to ensure they don’t have a Susan Boyle situation.
Susan had a very public breakdown after auditioning for ITV’s Britain’s Got Talent, the incident made BBC bosses look again at their procedures for guests on their shows.
Totally Saturday sees Graham Norton playing pranks, Jeremy Beadle style on unsuspecting members of the public.
I am going to be so torn tomorrow night. Which show do I watch live and which do I save for later? Britain’s Got Talent or Eurovision, which will you be choosing?
Jade Ewen is flying the flag for the UK, having won BBC talent search Your Country Needs You, and will be accompanied on piano by Andrew Lloyd Webber, who co-wrote Jade’s song, It’s My Time, with American lyricist Diane Warren. However, the UK will no doubt face stiff competition from the 24 other acts in a line-up decided from last week’s two semi-finals.
In the clip above Matt Lucas and Graham Norton chat about Britain’s Got Talent singer Susan Boyle.
Norton thinks that “for a hairy woman with thick ankles she’s amazing! But as a singer she’s ok.” Whilst Lucas brands her “the best singer I’ve seen who looks like Bernard Manning.”
Cruel or funny? You decide!
Eurovision bosses have drafted in Andrew Lloyd Webber and Graham Norton to spice up next years Eurovision song contest.
Webber will lead an X Factor style show which will see him and a panel of judges choose England’s entry to the competition, the show will be presented by camp Norton.
A BBC insider told The Sun: “Millions of Brits watch the Eurovision but always leave disappointed that we’ve done so badly.
