Holly Willoughby: 'We're so used to sexism'

She is, she says, as if preempting an attack, very good at defending Celebrity Juice now. "It's really good fun, and I'm with Fearne and Leigh and Gino, and we have a really good time." The humour can be quite to the bone... "Again, I get asked this quite a lot." She has a way of briskly jumping on to a question, to get to the end more efficiently. "Yes, he's cheeky, and yes, he's naughty, but he's actually the butt of our jokes. It's us that are the empowered two."

If I keep watching this, will I start to appreciate what everyone else sees in it? Or will I just start softly weeping? So far neither has happened; I just get annoyed.

This is the second week of Mrs Brown's new chat show where celebrities drop by Mammy's house to sit on the sofa and have a natter. Despite the show being crude and loud, Mrs Brown has managed to pull in some genuine celebrities - by which I mean "people who are obviously recognisable".

You can't shake your head at her guests and snort, "Celebrities? Never 'eard of 'em!"

Last week she had Pamela Anderson, for crying out loud! Someone who has actually been to Hollywood!

Tonight she welcomes daytime TV overlords Philip Schofield and Holly Willoughby, plus Lulu and Adam Woodyatt, the latter better known as Ian Beale from EastEnders, and, in the pub, Kaiser Chiefs play a few songs.

Brendan O'Carroll continues his alter ego's move into Saturday-night variety, having squashed The Voice in the ratings last week. Such a loose comedy hasn't had to adapt much: the audience now step through that broken fourth wall to win white goods, while the Mrs Merton/Kumars bits demonstrate that those innuendos don't need to be scripted. Tonight's stooges are Phillip Schofield, Holly Willoughby and Kaiser Chiefs.
