Media Monkey's pick of the day

Remember Shayne "That's My Goal" Ward? He won The X Factor back in 2005 although he hasn't been bothering the hit parade of late. But Ward, who appeared in West End musical Rock of Ages, is back with a bullet on ITV primetime – as a contestant on ITV's Dancing On Ice, reports the Sun. "Shayne is a previous winner of an ITV talent show so will have high hopes of doing it again," said a show insider. No word on whether he'll be dancing to the Lion King's Circle of Life.
