Charliecondou: @brianfruity @aliJcorrie topman x

The paparazzi only seemed interested in two arrivals on the red carpet Nichole and Louis! 

Louis was out alone - he'd come without his brothers Huey and Dewey.

Below: Wait! Who is that on the red carpet? It's Miss Collins.

Below: Some punters started to exit when David Cameron arrived...

...but Mr Cameron didn't seem to mind, he had a clear view from his seat!

Below: The real heroes have taken to the stage. This is Karin Williams the lollipop lady who threw herself in front of children to save them. Oh and the big round yellow lollipop thing mid-stage...well, that's James Corden! 

Below: Meanwhile outside Nichole & Louis are still attracting attention...Nichole is busy giving time to her fans - here she is doing selfies with the crowd...

..and can someone let Louis know that show has started! Oh, and by the way TWERKING is sooo last month!

Below: I could be wrong but I think Kimberley Walsh was there...

Below: Aled and Lorraine.

Below: Some fly guys.

Below: Some union reps.

Below: This unassuming lot are just some of local heroes that everyone's come to honour.

Below: Rocco the metropolitan police dog is still working while off duty. Thank goodness he's not trained to sniff out drugs!

Below: Jeez that Nichole is good value! She has finally finished with the paparazzi and the selfies and can make her way in to the awards.

BEFORE FLEX / AFTER FLEX

On yesterday's blog post you'll spot a tweet by Charlie saying his bottom was widely discussed on an on-line forum. It was Charlie's on-screen flex of his gluteus maximus that stirred people into action! The flex scene was from Friday 4th October's episode of Coronation Street.

I CAN SEE AN OPENING AHEAD

guy_interruptd: I've been sitting in this for just under an hour. Welcome to Monday 

Charliecondou: @guy_interruptd you should work from home, like other prostitutes

guy_interruptd: @Charliecondou don't get pissy with me just because I wouldn't let you have an in-call...

A PROPHETIC SIGN AS

OLYMPIC FLAME GOES OUT

Published on 6 Oct 2013

The lit torch in the hands of the 17-times world champion in diving Shavarsh Karapetyan was extinct for more than 20 seconds, and then was lit by one of the staff members who accompanied the race. 

The Olympic flame left Greece and is now in Moscow. From there it will head to Sochi for the 2014 Winter Games. Despite the festive ceremony spread to accept the torch, the flame had its own agenda - the flame went out. 'There is no better image for these Sochi Olympics than light going dark once inside the Russian border.'

CHARLIE CONDOU AS DZHONATTON ICH

From the weird but true files:

Nathan Barley the cult TV show in which Charlie Condou played Jonatton Yeah? was originally given the working title of Box Of Slice.

 Furthermore, in the Russian dubbed version, Charlie's character was called Dzhonatton Ich

Series storyline:

Dan Ashcroft, a bad-tempered and chaotic journalist working for hip magazine 'Sugar Ape', believes that he is surrounded by what he calls 'idiots': hedonistic scenesters who care about nothing but the latest trend. Nathan Barley is a prime example of this species, so logically he and his website 'trashbat.co.ck' are a hit with Dan's dim-witted workmates. No matter how much Dan tries to avoid him, Nathan keeps causing awkward situations for both Dan and his sister, earnest film-maker Claire.
