The Jeremy Kyle show often feels like a soap opera - and it will tomorrow when the Platt family from Coronation Street appear on it.

To celebrate the 1,000 episode of the ITV1 daytime talk show the actors will appear in character to shout it out like regular guests.

Kyle will chat to David Platt, played by Jack Shepherd as well as his ex-girlfriend and step-sister Tina McIntyre (Michelle Keegan) and his older brother Nick (Ben Price).

David is also said to demand a lie detector to see if Tina and Nick have been sleeping together… and the outbursts will probably appear more realistic than the average Jeremy Kyle show.

An Irish company is looking to employ a 'honeymoon tester' -- meaning it could be your job to lie on beaches, swim in infinity pools and sip champagne.

And if that wasn't good enough, the successful candidate will also get £18,000 for spending six months of the year in luxurious surroundings... and get to take their partner.

The job's offered by 'Runaway Bride and Groom' and you will have to report back with your impressions of the breaks each of which will last three to four weeks.

Organisers say the free holidays will be to places like the Maldives or Zanzibar and include such 'gruelling' tasks as testing cocktails and jacuzzis.

Candidates for the "Ultimate Job" must apply online by the end of March 2010 -- and if you win will promise you take me?

A design graduate has created a thin and folding alternative to the traditional UK standard 3 pin plug.

The fold-flat design won 30-year-old Min-Kyu Choi the prestigious Brit Insurance Design Award 2010 and could now net him a fortune.

Choi says his reinterpreted plug - which folds flat when not in use - was inspired by his MacBook Air computer which, despite its slender frame, shipped with a bulky plug.

He said it caused problems when carrying it around to charge his computer so came up with the 0.4" thick version, compared to the 4.6" standard model.

Judges of the competition, which saw 90 entries in seven categories, said the design was "practical but elegant"... and then asked where they could get one.

An iPhone app has been launched which calculates how many calories couples burn during each sex session.

Using Bedometer people place their loved one (the iPhone) on the bed while having it away - motion sensors then analyse the time and intensity of their romp.

The 59p app then works out exactly how many calories you have burnt and even gives you the option of sharing this information - along with the number of thrusts - on Facebook.

Makers claim a vigorous 15 minute sex session burns almost 200 calories each - adding that Bedometer is "the ultimate bedroom athletics measuring tool".

Before you ask, the answer is yes, the app has single and multiplayer options.

A distracted driver failed to notice the road he was travelling down had been covered by a rockslide and proceeded to drive into it.

To make it even better, a TV news crew were filming stock footage of the Tennessee rockslide when it happened and caught the crash on camera.

The motorist says he didn't see the rockfall in front of him on Highway 129M and ploughed straight into the debris.

In the footage he can be heard telling a police officers that he didn't see the rocks until people started yelling at him to stop.

Luckily the man was not injured in the accident… though his pride might be as dented as the front of his car.

A Romanian town which installed warning signs alerting motorists to drunks crossing the road have taken them down.

Officials in Pecica had introduced the triangular sign featuring a man crawling on the floor holding a bottle as the result of a series of accidents.

But now, after the sign received what council bosses describe as "excessive media coverage" they have decided to change them.

New sign will be put up warning drivers of "other dangers" - and not showing the humorous graphic

Mayor of Pecica, Petru Antal had hoped the sign would act as a warning to motorists who may not know the area… not mock the locals.

The world's shortest man, He Pingping, has died of heart complications at the age of 21, after being taken to hospital with chest problems.

Pingping from China measured just 29 inches (74.61cm) tall and was born with a form of primordial dwarfism.

He had been in Rome, Italy, to take part in ‘Lo Show Dei Record’, a locally produced records show, where he was taken ill with a chest complaint.

TV producers insisted he be examined at a nearby hospital, and although he received treatment, a few days later he passed away at the hospital

Pingping had been recognised as the world's shortest man in 2008.

They say some people could look good in a bin bag -- well for Kate Moss make that mosquito nets.

The supermodel and fashion icon has shown her support for Sport Relief by wearing a one-off dress woven from recycled mosquito nets.

The sculptured and corseted dress was created by designer William Tempest to highlight the Sport Relief commitment to tackling malaria in Africa.

It is hoped the dress - which will be auctioned off later this year - will help net a bit of extra cash for the charity

Londoners are the most unwelcoming people in Britain, it has been found.

Visitors to the city have found the average modern Londoner's demeanour is a million miles from the legendary chirpy Cockney image the city was once famous for.

Natives of the capital were also slammed for their inability to make friendly conversation and a lack of basic manners and politeness in a poll of 4,000 Brits.

Glasgow was seen as the second most unwelcoming city in the country with Glaswegians accused of being reluctant to help elderly people and forgetting to say please.

Bradford was voted into third spot, with its residents more likely to queue-jump if given the chance… and probably stab you if not.

Experts have discovered that your body can benefit as much from quick bursts of exercise as spending hours training.

They say several short, but high intensity training sessions can be better for you than spending hours in the gym.

The team from McMaster University looked at the impact of micro training sessions, such as spending 60 seconds on an exercise bike, 12 times.

It was found that if the exerciser spent the short time working out to their maximum heart rate their muscles improved as much as if they had been involved in endurance training.

However, 12 minutes of punishing exercise still sounds a bit too much like hard work to use… even if it does mean boffins are going to have ripped six-packs now.
