TELEVISION / Tabloid TV

JOHN LESLIE, the Blue Peter presenter, finally managed to divert tabloid attention away from his love life when he spotted a 'muscular thug' up to mischief, and felled him with a rugby tackle. Elsewhere, Terry Wogan's interviews with Hollywood stars have been axed; George Baker, the Inspector Wexford star, got engaged to Louie Ramsay, his on-screen wife; and Beverly Hills 90210's Jason Priestley complained that he never received sexy fan mail. Scoop of the week was the Sun's 'Riders' star guide to being a complete rotter', which advised readers to invite girlfriends 'for a romantic candlelit supper and spend all evening drooling over pictures of your exes'.
