TELEVISION / Tabloid TV

Those tabloid 'scoops' in short: C4 scooped BSkyB by signing up Gazza for pounds 1.5m - the deal includes screening 34 Italian league games; Josh from Neighbours complained that women try to rip his clothes off; Phil Collins ended his three-year-old daughter's TV career after Lily became upset at blood-soaked actors in Casualty; Des O'Connor's Take Your Pick has greater sex appeal than the BBC's Eldorado - the arthritic game show thrashed the soap's second episode in the ratings.
