Welcome back one and all, I hope you had a most excellent couple of weeks and a lovely start to 2010 - mine involved Christmas, New Year and my birthday so a pretty full schedule!
For those of you wondering how the DS Christmas party went down: behold the following set of non-incriminating, family friendly pictures!

You may construct your own narrative to accompany them but I would caption them thusly:
Left: The closer you sit to Chris Allen, the funnier his jokes appear
Middle: Nick reacts to the news that Tom doesn't really care for Miley's 'Party in the USA'
Right: Sometimes the world simply doesn't contain enough soap
Since then (and despite blizzards, snowmen and sub zero temperatures) we've been beavering away keeping you up to date with all the latest from the world of entertainment.

This week, appropriately enough, we've been hob-nobbing with all the contestants in the new Dancing on Ice line-up. It was going smoothly until panto commitments meant Bobby Davro had to shun an interview with our Alex Fletcher. Alex was devastated, describing the incident as "a definite low point". Indeed, so saddened was he by the whole affair that he couldn't even bring to mind Greg and John's Masterchef catchphrases when chatting with the pair and had to endure some merciless ribbing. Never mind - perhaps his upcoming third date with Arlene Phillips will put a smile back on his face!
