Vernon Kay

One of the women to whom Vernon Kay sent explicit text messages claims he would sing down the phone to her and tell her how much he missed wife Tess Daly.

Model Rhian Sugden said the All Star Family Fortunes presenter flirted with her behind his wife’s back.

Earlier this month, Kay had to apologise on his Radio 1 show after sending explicit text messages to around five women.

Sugden, 23, told Heat magazine: “At times I did think ’Where is Tess?’. But I wasn’t complaining... Besides, he would say things like ’I miss ’T’, she’s always working’.”

She said: “If he was pissed, he might call me up and ask what I was doing. And he would often sing to me down the phone.”

After they brushed past each other at the same club, Kay texted “You wanted to cop a feel, you want me”, Sugden said.

Simon Cowell Looks To Eurovision

Simon Cowell wants to win the Eurovision Song Contest.

The music mogul is keen to add to his reputation by entering the winning song in the annual competition.

Pete Waterman – who appeared alongside Simon as a judge on Pop Idol and is writing this year’s UK entry – told Radio Times magazine: “I have a sneaky suspicion this will needle him more than anything else I’ve done. The one thing he’s always wanted to do is Eurovision.”

A singer for the song will be found next month through BBC show ‘Your Country Needs You’ and Pete is keen to do better than last year’s Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber’s entrant, which came fifth and was sung by now-Sugababes singer Jade Ewen.

Pete – who will write the song with old partner Mike Stock – said: “I wouldn’t be doing it this year if it wasn’t for Webber. At least he failed – I can’t do any worse than he has.”

This year’s contest will take place in Oslo, Norway, on May 29.

Jeremy Paxman Apologises

Jeremy Paxman apologised during Newsnight last night after he used a swearword in the programme.

The presenter read quotes from Andrew Rawnsley's book, The End of the Party, which has controversially accused Prime Minister Gordon Brown of bullying.

Seconds after reading the passage, Paxman said his editor had told him to apologise for using the swear word.

A BBC spokesman said the offensive language was used after the watershed and Paxman "apologised immediately".

In a full statement issued today, the BBC said: "During a post watershed interview with Andrew Rawnsley Jeremy read a direct quote from his book which contained an expletive.

"He apologised immediately to anyone that may have found it offensive."
