Sturgeon on TV: Golden gal takes on Little Miss Brass Neck. Who won?
Prime Ministers, presidents, princes, Hillary Clinton, Angelina Jolie - Julie has sat knee to knee with them all. But how would the golden gal of British broadcasting fare against the big brass neck of Scottish politics? Viewers turned to Nicola Sturgeon: the Interview to find out. 'The' interview suggested something special, but filming took place in Ayrshire ten days ago. Since then Ms Sturgeon has been all over the Murdoch press and every other branch of the media, her book picked cleaner than a turkey on Boxing Day. This, however, was the first broadcast interview, which meant the first chance to see Ms Sturgeon becoming 'emotional' as television folk coyly call it when someone cries on camera. Etchingham had dressed in cool neutrals for the occasion, with Sturgeon opting for a scarlet jacket. Perhaps she was trying to channel her inner Butlin's Redcoat to jolly things past the difficult stuff. It didn't work. Certainly there was no May-like confession to stealing from the pick n mix in Woolworths. She was rude about Nigel Farage ('odious'), but who isn't? When she did get into difficulty it was all her own doing, as when Etchingham brought up the rapist Isla Bryson. You might have thought it impossible for Sturgeon to make even more of a pig's ear out of this subject, but boy did she ever. Etchingham was looking at the former First Minister as if she was trying to argue that the Earth was flat. Personally, I turned the same shade as Sturgeon's jacket. Someone had to shoulder the embarrassment and it was not going to be our Nicola. There was some moistening around the eye area when she spoke of Alex Salmond's passing. She still misses him 'in some way' - a quote up there with Charles's 'whatever love means' - for half-baked sincerity. As for her new love life, her lips were sealed. 'I'm enjoying being my own person for a while,' she burbled, sounding for all the world like some Real Housewife of Montecito. Etchingham had a go at holding Sturgeon to account on domestic policy but nothing landed. She might as well have been on The One Show on BBC1, sandwiched between a soap star and an item on dodgy plumbers. The half hour running time and the 7pm slot told their own story. If there had been anything juicy the programme would have been on at 9pm, not just before Emmerdale. Upstaged by sheep. It shouldn't happen to a vet, or a former FM, but it did. The toe-curling was not quite over - there was still the matter of Nic's first tattoo. 'Midlife crisis alert,' she joked. You said it, dear. It was an infinity symbol she designed herself, something about strength and resilience and moving forward. In short, your basic woo-woo b******. Come to think of it, that would have been a better title for her book. Is it too late to change?

Strictly star says he faked scenes on dance show in shock admission
Incoming pro dancer was involved in a fakery row and says he will stand up to producers if ever asked to do it again Strictly Come Dancing's new professional dancer Julian Caillon has admitted he once faked a row on TV in a bid to create more drama. The Australian-born star, who joins the BBC series this autumn, told how he acted up for the cameras to please producers who wanted the fake friction to boost ratings. Caillon was appearing on the Aussie version of the ballroom show, Dancing With The Stars, when he was paired with a female celebrity with a hectic work schedule, which sometimes made her late for rehearsals. The 29-year-old dancer and choreographer claims producers cooked up a plan for him to pretend he was angry with her for not being on time - and he went along with it. 'Reality TV is not necessarily what you think,' he explained afterwards. 'A massive aspect of reality TV is not really real. I remember in one episode of Dancing With The Stars, one of my celebrities was late to rehearsals and the producers were asking me to go around and pretend that I was frustrated. 'But she had something pop up and stuff happens sometimes and life gets in the way and we get a little bit late. It's not the biggest deal in the world. We just stay back a bit later. But they made this whole kind of thing out of it.' But Julian says while he agreed to act annoyed at the time, he would refuse to go through with it if asked now. 'I think during my earlier experiences, whatever I was asked to say or do, I just thought, 'It's a privilege for me to be here. I need them to like me. So I'll just say and do whatever needs to be done'," he explained. Speaking on the podcast Try with Alex, hosted by Australian Survivor contestant Alex Coe, he added: 'In a way, it teaches you to know what your values are and what you're willing to do and not do. It made me be confident in my own choices. 'Now, I have clear boundaries and lines where I know, 'This is what I'm willing to do. If they ask me to say this, I'm just gonna say no'." Julian, who is also a former athlete and personal trainer, joined Dancing with the Stars Down Under in 2020 and stayed for three seasons, with his partners including Gogglebox Australia star Angie Kent and model Erin McNaught. For all three appearances, he and his partner were the second couple to be eliminated. The dancer is one of two new pros lining up alongside the Strictly regulars, who include Johannes Radebe, Katya Jones and Nikita Kuzmin. The other one is American-born Alexis Warr - a former winner of US series So You Think You Can Dance. She has told how she has a backstage ritual before every routine as she thinks it will bring her good luck. 'I wipe the bottom of my shoe before I go on and then rub my hands,' she said. 'I don't know why. I just feel more grounded that way. And I always say a prayer before I go on. And if I am with my partner we will always take deep breaths together.' This year's Strictly is expected to launch on September 20.
