WELL, THAT'S THAT, THEN: The tabloids attempts to create a new Posh and Becks after they'd broken the first one in the form of Brian and Kerry McFadden has fallen apart, as the Westlife-Atomic Kitten union is no more.



Max Clifford has got himself involved, suggesting that the split is all because Kerry never got over Brian doing it with a lapdancer. In 2001. He also suggested "The chances of getting this sorted out? Having had lengthy conversations with them, if I was a betting man I would be betting against it." As he slid a large cheque into his back pocket.

As ever, it's the kids who suffer at a time like this, and the McFadden kids really are. The papers reckon she's got them places in Warrington schools.
