This is not meant in any way to be critical of or insensitive towards the grieving family, but since when does the death in a skiing accident of a minor celebrity constitute a story worthy of leading the BBC’s news bulletins?

I presume this is merely a taster of what we can expect when Britain’s Sweetheart™ Jade Goody dies.

I do hope Sophie/Fiona/George/Huw will demonstrate an appropriate degree of national grief by donning widow’s weeds for that announcement.

And finally, hundreds more people lost their jobs, dozens more businesses went to the wall, the Earth warmed up further still and a duck rode a skateboard.

But we leave you tonight with a special tribute celebrating the life of the People’s Reality TV Queen.
