It's being reported that Paul O'Grady has been sacked from Coronation Street musical Street of Dreams.

O'Grady attacks C4 over the 'disgusting' Frrankie Boyle

Paul O'Grady, who left Channel 4 in 2009, says other comedians would have been sacked for making the same 'disgusting' jokes as Frankie Boyle.

Paul O'Grady takes on the government

Paul O'Grady gave the government both barrels on his live ITV1 show on Friday, labelling the coalition "bastards" for its programme of spending cuts.

Gayle Tuesday makes a welcome return to the screen in Gayle Tuesday: The Comeback. Oh come on, you remember Gayle, the page three stunna and uber-bimbo who graced TV screens back in the nineties?

It was Gayle who memorably introduced the phrase "Oi, tits first! I'm not a slag", to British television.

A decade on we find Gayle, the comic creation of actress Brenda Gilhooly, in denial of middle age and intent upon a return to the world of celebrity.

It is all highly enjoyable and consistently funny, but at an hour in length each episode rather over stretches itself.

Toyah Willcox, Paul O'Grady, Ainsley Harriott, Harry Hill and Heston Blumenthal are among the famous faces sending themselves up, with Toyah winning the acting honours.

Gayle Tuesday, a (spoof) Page 3 girl who had her own series in 1996, is ready for a comeback. And Living is there to mock-ument her every move. As a show about fame, it picks easy targets, but there are moments of flair. It gets a lot better when it shifts towards Gayle's grotesque ambition and oneupmanship (a Toyah Willcox family funeral is particularly Partridge-like). Good fun, with game guest roles from Harry Hill (who script edits), Heston Blumenthal, Paul O'Grady and Ainsley Harriott.

Lily Savage comes out of retirement

Drag queen Lily Savage is to return to the stage - after being "killed off" five years ago by creator Paul O'Grady.

A fairly average stab at a new chat show, with an impressive line up for the first episode. However, with Jonathan Ross, Graham Norton and Paul O'Grady already busy on the chat show circuit, do we really have any need for another one?
