It's only 18 months since Cheryl Cole last sat on Wossy's sofa. Back then she had recently reconciled with her Chelsea footballer husband Ashley after allegations of his cheating. She was happily sporting her wedding ring as a public affirmation that she'd taken him back - although she did explain, "I was tempted to put it [the ring] back on - but in his head." In the light of the recent announcement that the pair have officially separated and are going to divorce, it seems likely that her ring finger will be unadorned for tonight's appearance. And her publicist having asked that Cheryl be given "privacy" at a difficult time, no doubt the singer will be much more keen to promote her new single, Parachute. But only the most naive wouldn't expect Ross to press her for some titbits on the collapse of her marriage. As she has spoken candidly - perhaps a little too candidly - about her personal life to Ross before, it'll be interesting to see whether she decides to opens up again.

Although he dramatically quit Auntie Beeb last week, even big stars have to work out their notice before getting their P45s and heading to pastures new.

So Jonathan will be hanging around until the summer. And as with his return after his Sachsgate suspension, it will be interesting to see what he says in his first show since a major development in his life. And, hopefully, we'll find out what's happening to the stylish black sofa his guests have put their derrieres on over the years. If you're reading this, Wossy, it would look lovely in my lounge...
