Matthew Wolfenden wins Dancing on Ice
Emmerdale actor Matthew Wolfenden has
won this year's Dancing on Ice after winning Hollyoaks actress Jorgie
Porter in Sunday's final.
Wolfenden performed his versions of Ravel's Bolero with his partners Nina Ulanova before the public cast their vote for him to win.
Slimani had joined the ITV1 show as a replacement for singer Chesney Hawkes.
both Wolfenden and Porter drew praise from coaches Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean for their takes on Bolero, the routine that won them gold at the 1984 Winter Olympics.
Dean said Wolfenden and Ulanova were "sublime", while Torvill said Porter and Evers "did us proud".
"That's going to take a few days to sink in," said Wolfenden following his triumph. "I can't believe it, I'm shaking.
"The first time I stood on the ice I thought I made the worse mistake of my career," the actor went on. "How times can change."
Previous winners include EastEnders actor Sam Attwater, Emmerdale's Hayley Tamaddon and former Hear'Say member Suzanne Shaw.
Sunday's final drew an average audience of 7.3 million viewers and was watched by 8.1 million at its peak, according to overnight figures.

Have You Tried It Out Yet...
Down at Sheffield, next to Ice Sheffield, there is a huge outdoor high wire course called Aerial Extreme.
Personally I think it is a great day out for those who are adventurous and like heights! This course is NOT for those who are scared of heights though!
This high wire course has amazing and challenging obstacles from a simple bridge that you cross, a climbing wall, rope swings and all the way to swinging platforms, and lot's more as well! This has it all! Also, this high wire course is open roughly for all ages to parcipitate. (Obviously not like 1,2 year olds!) But you know what I mean!
The most spectacular part of this course is at the end. It's when you have completed all of the course, you get hooked onto another wire, then you jump off the highest platform there! You can either choose to hold onto a smaller piece of rope, or you can choose to keep your hands out to the side and not hold on at all! But the time I went down there, I was lucky enough to be able to jump off BACKWARDS! It is an amazing experience, not to be missed!
In my opinion I think anyone who hasn't been down there yet, should definately give this a try! (As long as your not scared of heights!) This could seem a bit expensive, at £15 a person! BUUUTTT, you definately get your money's worth as you are aloud to go around the course as many times as you like! (One go round takes about 40 minutes, depending on how busy and how fast you are at completing the course.)
The Voice
A new episode has arrived and appeared on Saturday the 24th of March. The episode has being named The Voice. Baisically there is four famous coaches, Will.i.am, Jessie J, Tom Jones and Danny O'Donoghue, a singer enters the stage and performs whilst the coaches are facing backwards, so it's a blind audition. If the like what they hear they turn around! If more than one person turn around, it's all up to the contestant.

One In Three Babies That Are Born This Year Will Live To 100.
One in three babies born this year will live to the age of 100, official projections have concluded.
Tens of thousands of extra people will live to see in the milestone, according to the Office for National Statistics. The official projections on “mortality”, published on Monday, suggested that “at every age”, females had more chance of reaching their 100th birthdays than males did. The projections said that a third of babies born in 2012 would live to be 100, with nearly 40 per cent of baby girls compared to just under a third of baby boys reaching the milestone. The ONS report, titled "What Are The Chances Of Surviving To Age 100?", also suggests more people will live to get a card through the post from the Monarch of the day. More than 95,000 people aged 65 in 2012 are expected to celebrate their 100th birthday in 2047. Researchers found that only 10 per cent of men aged 65 this year and 14 per cent of women the same age would reach this milestone. According to the latest figures there are 826,000 babies aged under one year in Britain, with 423,000 being male and 403,000 female
Of these, 135,000 men and 156,000 women, who were born in 2012, are expected to still be alive by the age of 100, the ONS said. Meanwhile of the 395,000 men and 417,000 women aged 65 this year, 10 per cent of men and 14 per cent of women respectively will reach 100. According to the ONS figures, the number of people who are aged 100 years or more has increased from just 600 in 1961, the first year for official midyear population estimates, to nearly 13,000 in 2010.

cat survives a 19-storey fall.
A very lucky cat from Boston, Massachusetts in America has survived a fall from a window 19 storeys up!
The cat (sugar) had no broken bones or cuts from the plunge, just bruising, after she fell an estimated 45-60m (150-200ft).
She was taken to vets at the Animal Rescue League, who say that when cats fall from such a height, they act like a flying squirrel - spreading their legs apart like wings.
This action may have saved Sugar from getting any serious injuries.
Sugar is one very lucky cat don't you agree?
