Reality check

Antony Cotton won Soapstar Superstar, Leo Sayer walked out of Celeb Big Brother, and Jermaine Jackson's team won the housemates' tribute band contest.

OK, for those of you following these things, but not enough to actually watch the shows, Coronation Street actor Antony Cotton has won the ITV1 soap stars sing pop songs Soapstar Superstar competition, beating Emmerdale star Hayley Tamaddon in the final. So now you know.

On the other celeb reality show, Celeb Big Brother, Leo Sayer walked out on Friday, ahead of an eviction which he was up for, pushing the walk out total on the latest series of the show up to three. But you all knew that already, surely.

Meanwhile, those contestants still in the house took part in a tribute band competition, with former Stepper Ian 'H' Watkins, former S-Clubber Jo O'Meara, and Jade Goody and her other half performing a version of Steps track 'Deeper Shade of Blue' while Jermaine Jackson and the other housemates did a version of 'I Want You Back'. Viewers voted on the performances and Jermaine's crew won. As you possibly all didn't know, but now you do.
