Don’t give me hates Factor

Steph & Dom are back... but no chin-chin I’m proud my girl was picked over me.. I just froze

-

Their Gogglebox antics earned them a reputation for boozing, but Steph and Dom Parker say their new show is a more sober affair.

The posh couple, who run their own B&B in Sandwich, Kent, will be travelling around the UK helping

struggling hotels. LAUGH Steph says: “People mistook the larking about as us being smashed.

Now you’ll see we’re grafting and being the same – laughing, being jokey – and there isn’t a drink.”

Steph says: “You’d think being on top of each other all the time we would argue – but the longer we’re together, the less that is the case.” Dom adds: “Other than being husband and wife we’re also best friends and we like to have a really good laugh.” Chin-chin!

JOKES Steph and Steph Dom’s One Star to Five Star starts on C4 tomorrow at 5.30pm DARK TURN What’s Laura planning to do to Andrew, above? Having Doctor Foster withdrawal symptoms? Then Liar could be just the fix you need.

The gripping drama hurtles towards its conclusion in the penultimat­e episode.

Laura (Joanne Froggatt) asks ex Tom (Warren Brown) to help in her plan to get a confession from Andrew (Ioan Gruffudd) for raping her.

However, when a deception in Laura’s personal life comes to light, she resorts to dangerous methods. Laura’s mission takes a dark turn, which leads to a boat yard.

Taking matters into her own hands, the vengeful teacher manages to get Andrew exactly where she wants him in a tense game of cat and mouse.

DRAMA Finn is shot

Emmerdale star Joe Gill was taken aback when production crew contacted him before his final scenes as Finn Barton – and asked him his height.

He said 5ft 10in, then realised they wanted to know so they could get his coffin size.

Finn was shot dead by his mum in dramatic scenes last week.

Joe, 23, said of seeing his coffin on set: “It was a weird, out-of-body experience. In no other job would you get to see your own coffin, funeral or grave!”

Joe had to keep Finn’s fate secret and said his mum and nan were reduced to tears by the plot.

One thing Joe won’t miss is daily shaving – and admitted girlfriend Mel prefers his natural stubble. He added: “Finn was clean shaven. I’d be hacking my face off at 7am and not happy at all.”

Next up for Joe is a crack at the US pilot season – and that means having lessons to hone an American accent.
