Just been to see Paul Heaton at the O2 in that London. Brilliant gig. BBC1 needs to book him for New Year’s Eve. That is all.

Just realised that if results go the right way, Man Utd could be BOTTOM of the premier league by the time they kick off against Villa tomorrow.

Admittedly, this only works if you’ve seen the new M&S Christmas advert. I’ll wait.
"Santa" when the neighbour doesn't invite him to next year's Christmas gathering:

Better ending for the John Lewis advert: The kids open the door to Nan's special festive room... and find Jackson Lamb snoozing on the sofa, engulfed by the fog of his own sprout farts. I'd definitely shop there this Christmas then.

If that leaked #ImACeleb line up is real, we can only assume ITV blew this year's budget on Wayne Rooney. In fact, we can't be far from the point at which contestants actually start paying ITV for a slot on the show.

LinkedIn just suggested I apply for "Journalist, Manchester City Football Club." I'm quite tempted, but I'd prefer something long term.

Could tonight be the night that #CelebrityTraitors Uncloaked beats Strictly Come Dancing in the ratings? Place bets now.

The most damaging thing about the James Acaster incident could be that it revealed just how much the production team and editors get involved in #CelebrityTraitors . I've watched enough reality TV over the years to know that this is usually the beginning of the end.

Once James Acaster had (perfume) bottled it, why didn’t they try to banish one of the other traitors? They already had him in the bag. #CelebrityTraitors

Romesh has been great on #CelebrityTraitors. I really hope he gets some more TV work after this.

Man Utd have just put unsold tickets for Roma and Villa on open sale - no Membership required. Not just odd singles here and there either. Lots of availability.

There’s no way they don’t have a crack at the breakfast buffet at the Marriott Inverness Airport before they get to the castle for the actual filmed breakfast. Couple of hash browns and a coffee at least, surely? #celebritytraitors

Ratings. Almost 9m for the first episode of #TheCelebrityTraitors on BBC1 last night. And now we know who the first murder victim was: Strictly Come Dancing.

If Ross Kemp being on Celebrity Traitors means more people will discover the joy of Folded Ross Kemp, it will have been wholly worthwhile.

I wouldn't set this as the task in the first episode, Alan. Let them settle in a bit first, eh?
I am often asked what my priority would be if I was the prime minister. 1. Build 5 large modern day prisons. 2. While the prisons are under construction I would recruit 10,000 police and place them through a detailed training program to make their jobs recognised professionals. 3. While the prisons are being built.Recruit prison officers and make and pay them into respected professionals. 4. I would find the money by cutting back on military expenditure. In fact I would offer soldiers to apply for police or prison officer jobs. 5. My understanding of asylum seekers is that if they are trying to leave an oppressed county where they are in danger, they are supposed to go to nearest safe county. The people arriving on the shores of the UK have passed through plenty of safe countries. I would ask the Royal Navy to stop them arriving. Comments please . No jokers thanks Lord Sugar

Ratings. Last night's Strictly Come Dancing was down almost 1.5 million viewers on last year's first live show. BBC might point to it being up against an England friendly on ITV, but that's still quite a drop.
