Boris Johnson, the Mayor of London is set to star in a new documentary about himself, it has been revealed by the Sun newspaper.
The BBC documentary, which is set to air later this month, will centre on the politician as he discusses his personal life as well as his career in an interview with Michael Cokerell.
Popular ITV chat show, This Morning, has “unreservedly” apologised to the pregnant Duchess of Cambridge after accidentally showing pictures of her baby bump in a bikini.
The incident happened when the show’s hosts, Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford were discussing the Italian magazine that took, and published the pictures of Kate Middleton sunbathing during a private holiday with Prince William on the island of Mustique, condemning their actions.

Ever since the allegations about Sir Jimmy Savile began flooding in following ITV’s Exposure documentary – a follow up to which is on the channel tomorrow night – hundreds of people have come forward to allege that they were abused by the late TV presenter.
And of course, in the wake of the scandal, Scotland Yard have launched an inquiry into the allegations against Savile and “others” and the BBC is conducting its own inquiry into claims that some victims were abused on their premises.
Several high profile celebrities have been arrested in connection with the inquiry, and yet more have come forward to say that Savile’s reputation for being an “sexual predator” were well known.
However today, presenter Chris Tarrant has told the Radio Times that he can’t understand how Savile “got away with it” for all those years… Read more & comment »
As we reported yesterday, ITV promised to launch an investigation into what’s been branded as the “blindsiding” of PM David Cameron during a recent appearance on This Morning which saw co-host Phillip Schofield handing him what’s now been dubbed, a “paedo list.”
Handing the Prime Minister a piece of card that bore the names of senior government officials who have been accused online of child sex abuse, Schofield said he’d found the names following an internet search that took mere “minutes”.
And as Phillip asked the nonplussed PM if he was going to take any form of action against those accused online, Cameron responded that it would be improper to address such allegations without having full knowledge of exactly who was accused of what.
He also cautioned against provoking a “witch hunt” in the wake of the allegations made over DJ Sir Jimmy Savile and “others” who’ve allegedly been named in documents the police have in relation to Operation Yewtree… Read more & comment »
Fans of This Morning will no doubt recall that co-host Phillip Schofield blindsided PM David Cameron by handing him a list of the names of past and present government officials who are alleged to have been involved in child sex scandals…
The incident caused outrage after the show in question, during which Schofield told the PM that he’d found the names – which were on a piece of card – “within minutes” of searching the internet.
At the time, Cameron refused to comment as to whether he would investigate the allegations and said only that such things had to be treated “carefully” for fear of wrongly accusing a person or persons.
Apparently, dozens of viewers complained about the incident – in which some said they were able to decipher the names on the list – and as a result, ITV launched an inquiry. Today, the broadcaster has promised that there will be “appropriate disciplinary action” taken over the event… Read more & comment »
This Morning viewers were taken aback yesterday when, while interviewing PM David Cameron, the show’s co-host Phillip Schofield handed the leader of the Tory party a list which contained the names of MPs who are alleged to have been involved in paedophilic activity…
Saying that he’d found the names after searching the internet for only a matter of “minutes” Phillip inadvertently flashed the names on the card to the camera before Mr Cameron took possession of it, warning, “I’ve heard all sorts of names being bandied around…
“And what then tends to happen is, of course, everyone sits around and speculates about people. Some of whom are alive, some of whom are dead.”
He added, “I do think it’s very important that anyone who’s got any information about any paedophile no matter how high up in the country or whether they are alive or dead, go to the police… Read more & comment »
The Sun newspaper has today launched a campaign to have the late Jimmy Savile stripped of his knighthood following reports that he abused children.
Sir Jimmy (as he is still known for now) was a pinnacle public figure in the 60′s, 70′s and 90′s, who, it is now suggested, used his tireless charity campaigns to cloak a disgusting obsession with young teenage girls.

Britain’s Got Talent judge Piers Morgan has branded Conservative leader David Cameron ‘a coward’ for refusing to appear on his chat show ‘Life Stories.’
“I think it shows he’s a coward. He could have had me but he went with Trevor McDonald,” the former newspaper editor told Star magazine.
TV gardener turned chat show host Alan Titchmarsh has defended himself against critics, who hit out at his ‘nice’ interview with David Cameron.
The Times claimed that Alan’s grilling of the Conservative party leader was “more Paxo than Paxman” and mocked him for asking Cameron what he thought of Cheryl Cole’s split from her husband Ashley.
In an ITV1 special, Sir Trevor McDonald goes behind the scenes with David Cameron to find out about the public and private man who hopes to become the next Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
The one-hour programme, ‘Trevor McDonald meets David Cameron’, will be filmed over the coming days and will be broadcast at 10.15pm on Sunday March 14th.
Whoops. David Cameron said the ‘t’ word (TWAT) live on the Christian O’Connell Absolute Radio show this morning when referring to Twitter…(We thought that’s what it was short for).
