The team are back in London on Monday morning after their exploits in Bristol, and will be joined later in the week by special guest Lily Allen.

The 21 year old will join them in the studio on Wednesday, promoting her new single LDN which is out tomorrow.

According to The Mirror, Lily has previously said of Chris: "I like him. He's really big and I think we'd get on. If he asked me on a date I'd go."

Lily is preceded on Tuesday by Ian Wright, and future guests over the next couple of weeks include Rio Ferdinand, Jack Osbourne and (we think) Gordon Ramsay. Plus there is only one week left until the whole team (bar Chris) take part in The Great North Run!

He does that show on ITV2 where he goes round the world doing loads of cool stuff like bungee swinging and white water rafting - and get's paid to do it, not just on his own, but he drags his mates along as well.

I can't stand Lily Allen - and before you ask, yes, I have. Met her that is, several times, before she was "famous". An ufortunate hazard of the job I do. I agree with Mafro - but what annoys me even more is how she sings in that affected, studied "chav" voice, but speaks in a totally standard, almost (dare I say it?) posh accent. Which she may now be trying to disguise, in light of her recent raise in profile, and the image she has apparently decided to adopt - we shall see.

I can't stand her either... another in the long list of middle of the road twee female acts that seem to be surfacing in an all too often manner..... I give her... and sandi thom and corine bailey-rae no more than a year. They'll go the same way Alex Parks.... the next big thing she was.

Sandi Thom seems already to have disappeared - thank goodness. Corinne Bailey-Rae is the best of the bunch, but I don't really like her stuff either. She's a nice lady though.

Alex Parks, she never ever released a song did she, her and that Michelle McManus did bugger all, got the sympathy vote then vanished into obscurity.

Incidently that great Natalie imbruglia song that was being played to death a few years ago by everyone (can't remember the name though) was offered to Alex Parks but she turned it down....oh well.

The thing with all of these "reality stars" they are all pretty much expected to fade away before they've even won. Everyone knows that the winner of this year's X-factor is going to be gone in 2 years, nevermind who it is. What they want is an exception to the rule, another Will Young, or Girls Aloud. Which is what they thought Alex Parks was, I remember them going on about how she was one of the few diamonds to have been dug up in the mines of "reality programming". THey hype around her was mental............... but what does it mean now???? Bugger all.

Nope, Torn was 1997, Alex Parks won Fame Academy in 2003. It was shiver. God bless everyhit.com!
