RTÉ One announced that Brendan O’Carroll’s brand new six part chat show All Round to Mrs Brown’s is joining its Saturday night line up and will start this weekend. But, because it has to be simulcasted with the BBC at 9.15pm, it means that it’ll be on before The Ray D’Arcy Show and Ray will be moved to a later slot to make way for Mrs Brown.

If you’ve been watching Fair City, you’ll be more than familiar with the Katy / Ciaran storyline. So, way back in May, a girl called Katy went missing and it turned out she was being held captive by a well known Carraigstown character Ciaran. Anyway, 275 days later, poor oul Katy is still holed up in this dungeon. One angry viewer called William Thomas has taken matters into his own hands and set up an online petition entitled ‘Fair City needs to end the Katy storyline ASAP’ and it has attracted more than 5,700 signatures in just a few days!

Fans of Peaky Blinders will be delighted to know that the filming of the fourth season has begun. Pictures have been leaked of Cillian Murphy and all the gang on set. The third season (which I still haven’t gotten around to) apparently ended on a cliff hanger with the gang locked up but if these pictures are anything to go by, they’re back on the streets of Birmingham! The series will hit our screens in October.

There are pictures all over the papers this morning of tennis star Roger Federer, who is currently in Miami playing in the Miami Open. He was taking a few hours down time on the beach with his family when some fans approached him to take a selfie. He very kindly obliged but the poor guy didn’t realise that the woman he was taking a picture with wasn’t actually wearing anything on her bottom half! She had a long cardigan draped over her but unless she wearing something very skimpy, there’s nothing there!
