Louis Walsh & Emmerdale's Jeff Hordley

Emmerdale actor Jeff Hordley reveals why he loved playing bad boy Cain Dingle, while Louis Walsh give us the latest X-Factor gossip and explained why he loves Jedward - still.

After revealing that he isn't really playing the piano in the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ ONE Christmas advert, Graham's first guests were 'Emmerdale' star Jeff Hordley, who plays bad boy Cain Dingle, and the soap's producer Stuart Blackburn. They spoke about 'Judgement Day', an episode in which Cain finally gets his comeuppance. Jeff's nothing like Cain, thank goodness. And we got an exclusive, Amy's baby is going to be called Kyle. (You have to watch 'Emmerdale' to appreciate how exclusive that bit of gossip is.)

After twelve, 'X-Factor' judge Louis Walsh popped in with all the latest news from the show as it enters its final stages. He also talked about Jedward, who are having the time of their lives apparently, and have fulfilled their dream by meeting Britney Spears. He also hinted that John and Edward would love to be the Irish entry in next year's Eurovision in Azerbaijan after going down so well in DΓΌsseldorf in May.

This week's 'I Can't Believe It's Not Better' song was 'Born With A Smile On My Face' by Stephanie de Sykes, who is not to be confused with Lynsey de Paul - a mistake Graham made. Stephanie, not Lynsey, reached number 2 in 1974 with the record, in case you were wondering.

In 'Grill Graham', James from Cookham, a single father, was looking for advice on how to deal with his 11 year old son who has started hanging around with a dodgy group of lads, and Jenny in Rotherham was anxious about being addicted to Facebook. Please don't add her or as a friend, or poke her... she's trying to wean herself off.

And in 'Tune With A Tale', Sandra Samwell of Peterborough, chose a little known Petula Clark song called 'Two Rivers' from 1966. The two rivers were the Thames and the Seine, just in case you're interested.
