Ant & Dec 'We're on the ball': Channel Dave pays tribute to football songs
They are broadcasting a special countdown show featuring all the worst – and best – footie ditties.
The hits include New Order’s World In Motion, Baddiel and Skinner & The Lightning Seeds’ Three Lions and even Ant and Dec’s We’re On The Ball.
Gary Lineker, John Barnes and Bob Mortimer talk viewers through their favourites.
Meanwhile, Dave has ordered a full series of Porters starring Ed Easton as a daydreaming wannabe doctor and a third season of Zapped with James Buckley.
The Eurovision song contest attracts a real mixed bag of fans.
But bookies’ favourite Netta from Israel has definitely scored a first by becoming a trailblazer for animal rights. Her song Toy may have been hailed as a big female empowerment anthem with lyrics inspired by the #MeToo movement.
But it has attracted a new band of followers.
Animal lovers in Israel think the song is about bird freedom because, during her performance, Netta clucks like a chicken and flaps her arms like wings.
Netta from Israel is FAVOURITE in Eurovision song contest
Activists think this is “a sign” that the song is an expression of how chickens should be “free to cluck away happily’’ and not live in fear of suffering and exploitation.
Bookies Ladbrokes have made her their 13-8 favourite to win while our own entry SuRie is their 100-1 rank outsider.
Eurovision airs on BBC One on Saturday, May 12
Eighties pop star Ben Volpeliere-Pierrot from Curiosity Killed The Cat is no fan of reality TV.
But viewers will see him looking for love on the Channel 4 show First Dates next week.
The beret-wearing Down To Earth singer had a fl ing with Bill Wyman’s teen bride Mandy Smith and Sir Bob Geldof’s late wife Paula Yates.
He once said reality shows don’t “give you a true image of what’s happening”.
Fresh from wowing the crowds in ITV’s Last Laugh In Vegas, it seems crooner Jess Conrad is eyeing up his next TV venture on I'm a Celebrity.
The singer would love to go into the Jungle but he fears that age might be against him.
He says: “They might not insure somebody of 81.
"When Freddie Starr got very ill in the Jungle that really frightened everybody.”
