It always makes me laugh when the TV producers wield the axe on the child actors who they deem not grown up enough or not up to the standard of acting that is requaired anymore.

EastEnders have been up to it this week with Ben Mitchell.

The new Ben Mitchell looks just like the old Ben Mitchell if you imagine he has being squished and squashed through the EastEnders Chav transformation machine...

Spot the difference? Well yeah you can...

Should I have laughed? I did sorry...

The sight of the kids toy stumbling over the fake bridge looked daft...

Michelle Keegan has revealed her girl crush is curvaceous star Jennifer Lopez.

The Coronation Street actress, who regularly bags awards for her own sexiness, joked that the US singer is her "ideal woman".

She said: "I've got a bit of a girl crush on J-Lo. She's turned 40 and looks so good for her age - she's definitely my ideal woman."

Michelle confessed that she feels at her most attractive when she's looking natural: "I think I'm most sexy when I'm not glammed up."

Amanda Donohoe would be willing to strip off for a role again.

The 48-year-old, who plays Natasha Wylde in Emmerdale, has disrobed for films in the past, including Castaway with Oliver Reed.

Asked if she'd do it now, Amanda said: "Definitely. I was thinking of doing the Calendar Girls play. I thought, I'm in pretty good nick. Let's get them out before I can't any more!"

Desperate Housewives' Katherine Mayfair is set to have a lesbian fling in the show.

The highly-strung Wisteria Lane resident, played by DANA DELANY, befriends her new flatmate, sexy stripper Robin, played by JULIE BENZ, and the pair pretend to be lesbians on a night out to deter some drunken men.

But it has been revealed that the pair get carried away and when they get home they tear each others clothes off and leap into bed together.

Julie, 37, said: "Joining the cast has been nothing short of amazing. The girls are so much fun to work with - and Dana's a great kisser!"

Now even I admit Bradley Branning was an amiable character, by EastEnders standards even normal.

Ok, well not official.

But it's blatantly obvious.

A few weeks back I slammed Dev Alahan as the most pointless character in soap.

Now after me slating him for never having a storyline the scriptwriters have engineered the return of his ex-wife Sunita.

Hopefully we will now see them sail off into the sunset never to be seen again.

Sexy actress Rachel McAdams is a self-confessed couch potato.

The Sherlock Holmes star was asked by Vogue to name her perfect day, and revealed it was spent curled up on the sofa watching television.

"[It was] 1995, on a sofa - I grew up watching so much television, I was really into soap operas," she recalled.

"I'd begin with Days Of Our Lives, then Another World and finish off with General Hospital, and before dinner I'd watch Oprah."

The 31-year-old actress also reveals that she used to pretend to be sick just to take the day off school and watch more TV.

"I would fake sick all the time to the point where I'd convince myself I was sick," she said.
