Amanda's out of her comfort zone.

Byline: Des Clarke 

ITV have commissioned a new series with Amanda Holden where she has to master jobs she doesn't know how to do, like stuntwoman, showgirl and country singer.

Maybe they should have one where she tries her hand at talent show judging.

Anyway, programme bosses say their aim is to put Amanda in the most physically uncomfortable situations. I thought they did that already. Well, they make her sit beside Piers Morgan on a regular basis.

Millions of us had to retune our Freeview boxes this week. The revamp is set to improve our reception of Channel Five but, thanks to Ian Wright, probably not our reception towards it. The retuning has led to thousands of complaints due to many channels and programmes having been lost. The main complaint being, despite these losses, you can still get The Jeremy Kyle Show.

A London council has apologised to a woman who was refused the loan of a pair of scissors in a library because she "might stab a member of staff". Turns out she was more likely to use them on herself. She'd just started reading Katie Price's new book.

Rumours say that Amy Winehouse's dad, Mitch, is being lined up to appear on the next series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! He says he's nervous about looking rough, sleeping on the ground and eating grub off the floor. I dunno, his daughter seems to cope alright.

The inventor of a bra that turns into two gas masks was a winner of a 2009 Nobel Prize.

Let's face it, that design isn't very practical. Knowing how long it takes guys to undo a bra strap, any kind of chemical attack would be lethal.
