Sun Editor arrested

[Steve Green]

From the mediaguardian site.

"Rebekah Wade, editor of the Sun, has been arrested for an alleged assault on her husband, the EastEnders actor Ross Kemp.

Ms Wade remains in custody at a police station in south London following a dispute at the couple's home in Battersea in the early hours of the morning."

Can't help thinking of his appearance in "Extras"

I look forward to the Sun's sensitive campaign against domestic abuse...

What's the betting that every tabloid leads with tomorrow with lots of gloating (well every tabloid except the Sun of course)

[Quirkafleeg]

From the beebs site...

"Scotland Yard said Mr Kemp, 41, sustained a "thick lip" but declined medical aid."

Hmm, smells like a big pile of hype to me. Funny that I didn't have a clue Grant and Phil were back until I read the news.

[Quirkafleeg]

Yeah I can just see that... "Punch us in the gob love, it'll do wonders for my publicity..."

And I take it you never watch BBC as it was trailered for continually for ages before it was on

Is it a full moon or something? What with Jamie Oliver sporting a massive shiner that he got 'falling out of bed'... yeah, right.

It was 4 in the morning, it's entirely possible :o)

He he, obviously I don't, haven't seen that. I don't think there's anything I watch on BBC at the moment. Not since Dr Who.

[Roger Godpleton]

The publicity explanation seems plausible. I read somewhere that Murdoch personally gave Wade a bashing after Littlejohn buggered off (heh, "Littlejohn" & "buggered" in the same sentence, he'd like that).

I always thought this marriage was too good to be true (in a comedy sense). A one-dimensional "Hard-Man" actor marrying the editor of the Sun...

"He he, obviously I don't, haven't seen that. I don't think there's anything I watch on BBC at the moment. Not since Dr Who."

Me neither- how pleased am I that the licence fee will be going up to fund the move to digital (or whatever reason was given- I still don't watch it)?

;)

[Matt Timson]

Hmmm... tell a lie- I watch 'Waking the Dead'.  Well worth over ten quid a month...

Too late, as it happens

...yet Bushell remains unscathed.

some prime gossip about this in popbitch...

[DavidXBrunt]

And in a twist that takes this story into the bizarre Steve McFadden has also been assaulted today by his partner, or an ex partner at least.

Max Clifford on the 6 o'clock news "If she hit him then he probably deserved it"

"some prime gossip about this in popbitch.."

ooh yeah... unfortunately it's entirely unrepeatable here due to its potentially libellous nature. But I bet it's true ;)
