Kate's comment about cheating the public? If that refers to Will Young's sexuality, then he didn't, he was already out. He was on a talent contest, he came out every week to sing and the public liked his talent and voted him the winner. His career is still going from strength to strength, as well as a new album out he is starring in the film Mrs Henderson Presents with Judi Dench.

As for Shane, if I remember from the VT about his home life he has a girlfriend, though I do admit every bloke with a Mancunian accent does sound a bit soft.
Well, seems the publicity was incorrect about Will Young then, as there were many opinions as to why he didn't come out before in the press and comments as to how he cheated the young girls who always fantasize about being with their heroes. Never liked him since.
However, sincere apologies for digressing on this subject ..no matter how past candidates have fared in the past, still do not think any of them left have anything new or special to offer.
As to the celebrity thing .. well, 9 o'clock was the time when all the best dramas, docs, series were presented on ITV.. just about finished my daily chores by then and looked forward to these offerings. Now, blooming 1 and 30 minutes of has-beens eating slugs, etc., every night !!!Thank gawd for the other channels.
