Re: What TV programmes have you been watching lately?
I don't watch Coronation Street or I'm a Celebrity but since I'm big perv I was googling Helen Flanagan and was looking at her Wikipedia page and I felt bad for her because she was only nominated for, but didn't win the Best Bitch award. I don't think they should announce the nominees for that award...

Inter Milan and AC Milan play each other in the champions league. They famously share a stadium.
