HE TAKES ALL THE WEEK’S NEWS & PULLS ITS PANTS DOWN

-

MONDAY

THE ballroom dancing community goes into mourning – by which we mean the glitterbal­ls turn at half speed and they choose the deepest shade of fake tan – after Strictly legend Len Goodman foxtrots off this mortal coil.

Len was a profession­al welder before turning to dancing. He only got the BBC gig when he turned up to do some rivet work on Dame Arlene Phillips’ face.

His catchphras­e was shouting “Seven!” – either at contestant­s or, more recently, when it was time for the carers to put him to bed.

WEDNESDAY FRIDAY TUESDAY

POP star Adele surprises James Corden with a special “Carpool Karaoke” – as he prepares to leave the US.

The newly slim singer seemed really choked to be saying goodbye to her fellow ex- pat. Which is odd, as you’d think she’d be used to losing 15 stone of useless fat by now.

THE first Brits to be rescued from war- torn Sudan arrive back in the UK, after a long and perilous journey.

They flew in from Larnaca in Cyprus – with most passengers looking utterly traumatise­d, broken and half- mad at witnessing mankind’s capacity for cruelty, brutality and degradatio­n.

With hindsight, they should never have stopped for a cheeky night out in Ayia Napa.

THURSDAY

KING Charles and Queen Camilla visit Liverpool to see the stage that will host Eurovision – and they met Rylan Clarke, who’ll be hosting. Apparently the Queen really enjoyed the experience. Especially the part where he met Charles and Camilla.

TRASH TV pioneer Jerry Springfiel­d dies.

He invented the concept of putting lower- class women on stage and baiting them in the hope of a fight breaking out – an idea for which the producers of ITV’s Loose Women will be forever grateful.

The funeral will take place next week and we fully expect the mourners to come up with a suitable twist on that infamous chant.

Altogether now: “Bury! Jerry! Bury! Jerry!”

SATURDAY

TALKING of funerals, a tribunal rules that an undertaker was unfairly sacked for taking jewellery from a body that was about to be cremated.

It’s hard to imagine anything worse than taking a gold necklace from a female corpse.

Apart from maybe giving her a pearl one.
