TELEVISION / Tabloid TV
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Eldorado has been fighting for tabloid space with John Birt since Saturday, when the soap's end was announced. The headlines hit a particular high, none more so than the Sun's trio on Saturday: 'The El's over', 'The biggest wash-out in the history of TV soap' and 'Licence-payers' El of a bill'. General misery was reported from the set in Spain, with some actors first hearing of the decision to pull the plug from tabloid reporters. The story, however, was given a rosier hue by Jon Morrey, a former cast member, who said that, flop or not, Eldorado had done wonders for his sex life.
Sex has not been so good, apparently, for Chris Evans, presenter of The Big Breakfast, who said that the early starts were interfering with his love life; the other breakfast television news is that GMTV's Fiona Armstrong has resigned to spend more time with her family.
Elsewhere, Mark Lamarr and Terry Christian have been fighting backstage on The Word, Bob Geldof and Paula Yates are considering emigrating to Australia and Amanda de Cadenet has been voted most hated woman in showbusiness ahead of Dannii Minogue, Kim Basinger and Shannen Doherty.
