And finally ...
Time to close that file marked "whatever happened to Nick Berry?" The former EastEnders star is the Daily Mirror's page three, er, fella after he turned up on ITV1's breakfast show Lorraine. New show to promote, Nick? Apparently not. B-rod has retired from acting and has been a stay at home dad for the past eight years, reports the paper. "I had a good innings and I just thought, I want to be at home now," said the actor. "I have been doing the school run and I'm a very proud gardener." And if you missed his final BBC1 series, In Deep - let's be honest, who didn't? - you can catch it on DVD now. Perfect daytime viewing, we imagine. DAILY MIRROR, P3
