First we had Peter Andre crying on Sky News, and then Alastair Campbell had to fight back the tears on the Andrew Marr Show. Now, it’s the Prime Minister’s turn. Gordon Brown apparently broke down whilst talking about his daughter on Piers Morgan’s Life Stories. Piers seems to have a good track record of making them cry (think Dannii and Cilla). In this latest interview, the PM answers all sorts of questions about his personal and professional life, but understandably found being questioned about his late daughter a little too overwhelming. Jennifer Jane died of a brain haemorrhage when she was just ten days old. Mr Brown also talks about his son’s fight with cystic fibrosis, as well as his relationship with Tony Blair. You can see the whole thing this Sunday on ITV1.

Wednesday sees brand new series Swords: Life on the Line come to the Discovery Channel. The hit US documentary series follows long-line fishermen in New England who brave some of the most dangerous waters in the world to hunt swordfish. Given that a single swordfish can make these men up to $20,000, the rewards are great. But the risks are even greater, as wild storms put these workers’ lives in jeopardy on a daily basis. Ice Truckers, move over. If you thought they had it bad, you aint seen nothing yet.

Simon Cowell has got a host of celebrities together for the Helping Haiti cover of R.E.M’s ‘Everybody Hurts’. The single is on sale from Sunday and all proceeds go to the Haiti appeal. The singers on the track are, in order: Leona Lewis, Rod Stewart, Mariah Carey, Cheryl Cole, Mika, Michael Buble, Joe McElderry, Miley Cyrus, James Blunt, Gary Barlow, Mark Owen, Jon Bon Jovi, James Morrison, Susan Boyle, Aston Merrygold, Marvin Humes, Shane Filan, Mark Feehily, Kylie Minogue and Robbie Williams.

Snog, Marry, Avoid? is back on BBC Three tonight with POD (Personal Overhaul Device) providing more fake tanned and tattooed no-hopers with a much-needed makeunder. Just check out this teacher (she’s a TEACHER??!!) and her rather disturbing fork tongue. She says she has to pull her tongue apart every day otherwise the fork will seal over. We say - let it seal over! Seal over already! Can’t wait to see how this makeunder pans out:

They are twins that cannot sychronise their dance moves. Twins…who aren’t in synch. That’s a talent in itself! They cannot sing, they cannot dance. But we loved them on The X Factor. Now, Jedward’s debut single ‘Under Pressure (Ice Ice Baby)’ looks to debut at either number one or two this Sunday. The irish duo even managed to get Vanilla Ice to guest on the song and appear in the video. Here it is, for all of you that love a high quiff, an Irish accent, two left feet and tone-deafness. Jedward, we salute you!

Rather predictably, Katie Price has made the most of her boyfriend Alex Reid’s post-Celebrity Big Brother 15 minutes of fame and married him in Las Vegas. Strike while the iron’s hot, Katie! If she had waited another month, we may have stopped caring. Wait, haven’t we done that already? ITV2 cameras were apparently there to film the nuptials for her reality show What Katie Did Next. Nothing tacky or desperate about any of that, is there? Congratulations to the happy couple, I think.

It’s not just dance programmes that have succumbed to the flash-mob craze. E4’s smash hit Glee has followed suit. Currently at number two in the charts, the cast’s version of Journey’s Don’t Stop Believin’ provided the soundtrack for this flash-mob on Grafton Street, Dublin, over the weekend:

Is it just me or is the new series of Secret Diary of a Call Girl proving to be funnier than the first two? I’m loving the excellent one-liners, like when Bambi asks if Belle’s refusal to let her in the flat is because she’s black. Belle quips: “It’s not because you’re black, it’s because you’re a whore!” And when Belle enters her flat to find Ben in a compromising position with her sister, she shouts: “Get out of my…sister!!” Brilliant writing and some saucy new scenarios for Belle have prevented this programme from becoming stale. You’d think there would be only so much one can say about the life of a high-class hooker, but apparently there’s much more to it than meets the eye!

The build-up is underway and Lost fans everywhere are dying to find out what happens when Season Six starts on Friday. Well it doesn’t really answer any questions and it certainly doesn’t give anything away, but for those of you that can’t wait until the end of the week here is the US trailer for the final season. For those that don’t mind spoiling things a little, then watch the first four minutes of the first episode here. For the rest of us who have memories like a sieve, we might need a little summary of the first five seasons before jumping into the final one. So, as featured before, here’s the Reduced Shakespeare Company’s 10-minute recap that they performed in front of an audience of fans last week:

So we say goodbye to Celebrity Big Brother forever, after crowning (a newly engaged??) Alex Reid our very last champion on Friday. It seems fitting that Big Brother comes to an end this year. We seemed to have reached the point where celebrities and ordinary folk alike know all too much about the way reality TV works. The innocence has been lost and there’s far too much game-playing. The contestants were second-guessing Big Brother all the time. Even a secret task can’t be kept a secret anymore. How long can Big Brother realistically continue to out-do its contestants? Channel Five is apparently in talks to take on the celebrity edition but let’s hope they come to their senses and realise the ship has sailed. Let’s move onto bigger and better things.

Just before we forget all about the 2010 celebrity contestants, let us take a moment to remind ourselves that these celebs were not reality TV novices by any means. Take a look at the programmes they had been on before CBB7 came along:

Heidi Fleiss: Celebrity Rehab with Dr Drew (VH1). At least she managed to kick her drug habit, despite being on the show with her abusive ex, Tom Sizemore.
Dane Bowers: Come Dine With Me (Channel 4). It’s no surprise that Dane was Vinnie’s sidekick in the kitchen, considering he’d already impressed the likes of Bobby Davro and Dani Behr.
Sisquo: Gone Country (CMT). The RnB singer appeared on the programme, competing for a country music recording contract – of all things!
Alex Reid: What Katie Did Next (ITV2). The UFC fighter only really sprung into the spotlight after being introduced to the public as Katie Price’s boyfriend in her reality TV series.
Stephanie Beacham: Strictly Come Dancing (BBC1). Steph showed off her dancing skills on the show in 2007 but was the first woman to be voted off.
Vinnie Jones: Vinnie Jones’ Toughest Cops (ITV4). Keeping in line with his hard man image, Vinnie narrated this series. He was also the first guest presenter of the Friday Night Project on Channel 4.
Sov: Soccer AM (Sky Sports 1). Well, it’s not strictly a reality TV show but the footy enthusiast has made several appearances on the magazine show.
Stephen Baldwin: Celebrity The Apprentice & I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here! (NBC). On I’m a Celeb, he (rather pointlessly) baptised Spencer Pratt, of The Hills fame, before walking out on the show.
