Duchess
Pulls Pint In Rovers
The Duchess of Cornwall today pulled a pint in one of the
most famous pubs in Britain Friday, winning praise for her skills while
touring the set of long-running soap opera Coronation Street.
The Duchess, who married Prince Charles in 2005, stepped behind the bar of
the Rover's Return pub during a visit to mark the 50th anniversary of the
television programme.
"I hope I'm not going to spill it. Who is going to drink this afterwards?
Any takers?" the Duchess said after accepting an invitation to try out the
beer tap on the set in Manchester.
One of the soap's actors, Ryan Thomas, offered his services and afterwards,
said it was "the best pint I've had" in ten years on the show.

Peter Andre - Kay Burley Mortified Sky
News presenter Kay Burley has said she was 'mortified' to have upset
Peter Andre, who broke down as she interviewed him on live
television on yesterday.
The singer, recently divorced from glamour girl Katie Price was
forced to cut short his appearance on the Afternoon
Live programme after the host - famed for her hard-hitting
interviews - asked him how he would feel if Katie's new husband Alex
Reid wanted to adopt his children.
Writing on her official blog on the Sky News website last night
night, Burley said: "What a day. Peter Andre broke down on my show
and when I went to check during an ad break that he was OK, he
sobbed on my shoulder in the Green Room.
"He’d discovered not 12 hours earlier that the mother of two of his
children had married without even bothering to tell him and was
devastated at the very thought that she might want take the
youngsters away from him."
She went on: "I was mortified at having upset such an obviously
doting family man and was keen to offer sincere apologies but he was
his usual charming self.
"As we stood and chatted about parenthood he said he was relieved
he'd finally vented some of the pent up tension he’d been feeling
and I sympathised but warned him not to ever cry in front of the
children."
