JODIE HITS THE RIGHT NOTE ON CORRIE

-

belting I REMEMBER watching Jodie Prenger in out the ballads on I’d Do Anything back 2008. Incidental­ly, I’d bring back thosetions Andrew Lloyd Webber casting competitio­ns in a heartbeat. and and Jodie instantly won over the nation, bagged a West End role. Now, she’s fulfilling her dream of starring in Corrie. Jodie arrived on the cobbles on Friday as George’s charming

Todd sister Glenda, who quickly impressed and Sean when she saved their bacon.

After winning round a tricky customer with her gift of the gab, she soon found herself celebratin­g in the Rovers, and looked very much at home. I’m looking forward to seeing what storylines come her way.

THE summer of love reached its shouty conclusion on Monday as the Love Island final aired on ITV2. Ekin-su and Davide were popular winners on the night, especially as it looked like series villains

Gemma and Luca might pip them to the post.

The show has been renewed for two more series next year but to me, it all felt a bit flat, aespeciall­y as it came the night after the Lionesses’ glorious Euro 2022 victory. One day we’re

watching inspiring role models creating new opportunit­ies for little girls everywhere and the next, it’s wannabe influencer­s in barely-there bikinis pretending that they’ve found real love for likes.

Talk about giving me the ick.

ITV also announced during the ad break that it will be launching a new series of Big Brother next year, and fans are already begging producers to cast real people, not Tik-tokers.

Love Island needs to watch its perfectly bronzed back…
