Articles based around a few posts on twitter are such lazy journalism.


Agreed.

In fact I would suggest that it isn't even journalism!

It's probably the Murdochs of the world making sure the "edit tweet" function never comes to fruition.

Pretty sure I heard a rogue audience member shouting 'Gamble' tonight during Stay or Play. Dec didn't appear to look impressed by it.

Thought tonight's show was quite poor. Lacking in any humorous sections and the Stephen Mulhern bit just felt like a 60 second filler spun out into a much longer feature too. The End of the Show Show was quite strong though, but I'd totally lost interest by that point.

Tonights show also felt a bit too NTV heavy also with none of the link ups having any real point or pay off.

“Quite poor” for Takeaway is a level most other entertainment shows aim to reach!

I like when they don’t have a music guest as it means you get the proper intro with the running down stairs.

In for a Penny is better than when they used to do Supercomputer in a shopping centre.

That women mouthing a swear word will be this week’s SHOCKING news in the tabloids

Strange they wheeled Alexandra Burke out for the 'show show', was she ever in an ALW production?

I swear, these tabloids don't understand the meaning of humour sometimes.

Oh they got the joke, it's just they have to turn absolutely everything they can that appears on TV into clickbait. It's an absolute mire.

After the first episode of I'm a Celebrity, they were publishing stories about how Dec was supposedly having digs at Ant's time in rehab as if it was malicious and Ant wasn't expecting it, even though they were clearly scripted skits. Tabloids are ridiculous, really.

No Ant didn’t apologise, Ant was FORCED to apologise!

This Great Britain business has caused a stir on Twitter. Half the people think Ant and Dec are wrong, half the people think they are making some sort of political statement wading into Northern Irish politics. Half the people think they meant to say that Southern Ireland isn’t part of Britain.

I bet they would have been best just saying ‘Battle of Britain’ as the pedants on the opposite side would have been less aggressive.
