Special Kay and Tucker 'Jesus' Jenkins

I just won't be able to watch The X Factor with a straight face again.

Peter Kay's Britain's Got The Pop Factor And Possibly A New Celebrity Jesus Christ Soapstar Superstar Strictly On Ice was a brilliant satire of talent shows - and sometimes very near the knuckle.

We know the judges really like to play up the contestants' sob stories, so I could just imagine them saying, like Pete Waterman did last night: "We like your voice but your story just isn't sad enough."
Fortunately for R Wayne, his grandmother (R Gran) chose an opportune moment to keel over, so they could milk her death for all it was worth.

I'll be very disappointed now if we don't get a drum 'n' bass or TV theme tune week on X Factor, especially if they got Paul McCartney in to sing the Home & Away music.

What blurs the line between spoof and reality even more is that you can now actually buy the "winner's" song recorded by Geraldine, aka Gerald, aka Peter Kay.

When Saturday's results show of The X Factor had such ridiculously camp moments as Dermot O'Leary portentously declaring, with dramatic music and lights, that "we're in deadlock", it's now hard to tell what's real TV and what's not.
He was far funnier than anything Cat Deeley could say on Britain's Got The Pop Factor - she was the show's one weak link. Just don't give up the day job, love.

I for one am now really looking forward to Celebrity Fiddler On The Roof In The Jungle. What do you mean, it's not real? And what's that, Todd Carty isn't really an ice-skating Jesus? Shame!
