Dermot O’Leary has hit out at fellow TV presenter Vernon Kay, after Vernon claimed he would have turned down the X Factor job if it had been offered to him.
Dermot told Heat magazine:
“It’s the biggest show in the country.”
“Unless you’re Jonathan Ross or Ant and Dec . . . if you say you’d turn it down, you’re full of s***.” Continue reading ‘X factor 2007: Dermot O’Leary Calls Vernon Kay A Liar‘ »
Into the second night of the six nights series, ex-Blue Peter presenter Janet Ellis and soul singer Alexander O’Neal were voted out by the combined votes of judges and public. Last night the first couple to go was Celebrity Masterchef’s Gregg Wallace and T’Pau’s Carol Decker.
Strictly Come Dancing Brendon Cole and partner R&B singer Beverley Knight were the most impressive performers last night with Watchdog presenter Julia Bradbery and singer Toni Christie coming bottom of the leader board but tonight Julia and Toni shot up to the top impressing us all with a wonderful duet. They shared top position with Cricketer Mark Butcher and classical singer Sarah Brightman. With eight couples being reduced to six we have the remaining competiors as follows:
Hannah Waterman (ex-Eastenders) and Wet Wet Wet’s Marti Pellow, Julia and Tony, Brendan and Beverley, Mark and Sarah, Eastenders’ John Bardon and soul singer Jocelyn Brown and Casualty’s Luke Bailey and Natasha Hamilton ex-Atomic Kitten.
In four days time, after voting out a couple each night, one of the couples will be crowned ‘Just The Two of Us Champions for 2007′ hosted by Vernon Kay and wife Tess Daly.
Well the day finally came. Many thought that Penny, undoubtedly the worst singer in the BBC’s ‘Just The Two Of Us’ competition, should have left on the first night. So with that in mind she did really well to last until the show before the semi-finals.
I admit to being a real Penny Smith Fan, even when she reads the news on GMTV in the mornings she is witty and oozes personality, more than some of the so called presenters they use. I’d be the first one to admit that she can’t sing, but hey neither could the Spice Girls and look what they acheived.
I enjoyed her and Curtis’ performance of ‘The Street Where You Live’ from My Fair Lady much much more than Russell Watsons and Sian Reeves version of ‘Nothings Gonna Stop Us Now’ which was out of key and boring. At least Penny was funny and entertaining to watch!
Had I been choosing who went tonight I would definately have kept Penny and sent Sian packing. Poor Penny has faced criticism every single night and responded with dignity. Maybe if she had collapsed in floods of tears like Sian she would still be in the show.
It was refreshing to see an honest celebrity for once….when Vernon Kay asked Penny if she thought she deserved to make it through to the semi finals she said no. How many other contestants, talented or not, would have admitted that eh?
