The 9 0'Clock News – Thu 9 Apr

Fearne shocked she’s a role model for anorexics
Fearne Cotton has been left "horrified" after discovering photos of herself on a pro-anorexia website. The TV and radio presenter stumbled across the photos while doing research for her documentary The Truth About Online Anorexia (ITV1, tonight, 9pm) and immediately shrieked, "What the hell's my name doing there? That's the worst thing I've ever seen!" Visibly shaken, Fearne continues to rant, "I wish I could take myself off this website. I don't want to be associated with anything like this." As well as the photo – one which Fearne says was taken a few years ago when she was much thinner – the website also offers tips on extreme dieting and provides a gallery of "thinspiration" celebrities. Fearne admits she learnt a lot from doing the show, and that most of it is extremely shocking. To find out more about what Fearne found out, make sure you watch the show later this evening.

Mercy brings Madonna and Guy back together
Devastated Madonna has turned to her ex-husband Guy Ritchie, as she struggles to cope with the upset of being denied permission to adopt four-year-old Mercy James from Malawi. The pair had been widely reported to have a strained relationship ever since the divorce, but it seems Guy is still there for his former missus when she really needs support. A source close to the couple revealed, "Rocco was speaking to her [Madonna] on the phone and he suddenly turned to Guy and said, 'Mummy is crying'." It's unusual for Madge to become this upset, and the friend says Guy has been "incredibly sympathetic" about the whole thing. "He calmed her down and told her she had to be happy with the family she had," says the friend. This news comes shortly after it was revealed that Guy has issued a statement in support of Madonna's planned adoption, in which he said, "She is motivated only by being a caring parent."

Apprentice blunder
Apprentice fans were left infuriated yesterday, after a BBC website leaked confirmation, hours early, that Majid Nagra would be fired. The result, which is normally top secret, was leaked to the show’s official website yesterday morning. Those visiting the site would have seen a clip named "Majid, You're Fired!" and despite them not being able to watch the clip, would have been alerted to who was being given the boot by Sir Alan. Fan Daniel Holland said, "I couldn't believe it. I went on to the site to see some clips, but they'd given the game away. I feel really cheated. I'm sure when Sir Alan finds out it won't just be Majid who gets fired!" A spokesperson for the site has apologised, saying, "The link was removed as soon as the mistake was realised. New procedures have been put in place to ensure this doesn't happen again." Talking of being sacked, Majid – who got the boot last night – claims that Sir Alan only fired him because he was jealous of his beard. Bless him.

Pitt and Clooney not fans of Gordon Ramsey

Gordon Ramsay has admitted that he well and truly mugged off Brad Pitt and George Clooney when they visited his Claridge's restaurant. "We had George Clooney and Brad Pitt in when they were filming Ocean's Eleven. They got upset because my head chef set the kitchen on fire. His port wine reduction caught alight – the cooker went up and the flames shot up. We had to evacuate the place and George and Brad were not happy. They were standing outside probably muttering 'fucking chefs'." heatworld had the same problem with its port wine reduction last night.
