More info on Jordan’s 'drug binge’
After this weekend’s shocking revelations that Jordan went on a drug binge which left her suicidal, the former glamour model is back-pedalling frantically, insisting the drugs were prescription drugs and NOT cocaine as most people have assumed. Jordan took the drugs behind husband Peter Andre's back but has refused to name what the substance was. Her spokesperson said; "Katie did not take an illegal substance. It was a prescription drug. She did turn to drugs in the lowest ebb of her life. She knows it was a stupid thing to do. Katie did not have to talk about this but has decided to as a warning. She wants to stop other people turning to drugs as a way of dealing with their problems." Funnily enough, Katie Price chose to speak out at the exact same time her new book Jordan: Pushed To The Limit is out. What a coincidence. Jordan took the drugs in a bid to beat postnatal depression but claims she became so low she considered taking her own life, saying "I seriously thought, shall I end it now?"

Blake sells out on Amy
He might be in prison, but Blake Fielder-Civil is still up to no good – it’s emerged that he’s been getting Amy Winehouse to sign pictures of herself so that he can trade them in for heroin with his cellmates, who then sell them online to her fans. Currently serving a sentence in Pentonville Prison, Blake’s failure to kick his drug habit has already caused him to spend time in solitary confinement – there were even rumours this weekend that he recently took an accidental drug overdose while behind bars. Now that his missus is getting her act together, hopefully Blake can manage to straighten up before reuniting with Amy on the outside.
 
Fighting on Ice
Last night’s Dancing On Ice came to a surprise head as judges in the panel came to blows on the ITV show, in full view of the studio audience. It kicked off when Nicky Slater gave Suzanne Shaw a low score, and the show descended into chaos as his fellow judges loudly disagreed with the decision, squaring up and swearing at one another. Holly Willoughby had to step in to calm the tempers and the judges even had to be separated by production staff after the show!

Richard and Judy not retiring after all
Just 4 months ago Richard and Judy quit their Channel 4 chat show, but already the couple are doing a U-turn in what could see them clinching up to a £4million deal. A source at Cactus TV, the makers of their chat show, has revealed that the company are in talks with various TV stations to buy the show. Possible channels include the BBC, Sky, Five and even ITV. The king and queen of television are said to be touting their show's format around the other stations in a bid to see it become part of broadcasting history. A senior source at Cactus Television said; "We are talking to various broadcasters about various different projects for post-September."
