He told Holy Soap: "The story goes that one people in ten is gay. We've got 70 people in Coronation Street so there should be seven gay characters at least. Especially as Weatherfield is gayest place on the planet as far as female characters are concerned. It's the campest show on TV at times."

For the past two months, World Wrestling Entertainment has essentially handed over its "Monday Night Raw" show on USA Network to guest hosts, who arrange matches and interact with the WWE's wrestlers while touting their new movies, TV shows, books and other fare.
