GEORGE Best has always been my hero.

You can't argue with the fact the man is a living legend. With the emphasis now very much on living.

Because Georgy boy is only just about living if last nights Me and My Liver is anything to go by.

Looking frail, yellow and thin, this was the Man U legend's first interview since his life-saving liver op.

He told how he nearly died on the operating table and how for the rest of his life he'll be on a diet of tablets.

But in true Bestie style he's battling on. He reckons he's cracked the booze for good this time. Now he's concentrating on having kids with wife Alex.

Let's hope it works out. The world would be a sadder place without him.

ON EastEnders Gus told Robbie that Sonia was the most beautiful woman he had ever met. And his guide dog agreed.

I CAN'T believe I watched it again but Lame Academy doesn't get any better.

At least one of them has now been booted off so I'm grateful for small mercies.Just another 11 id iots to go.

They finished the show off with their version of Lean On Me. Surely a reference to what they'll be doing to each other when they're at the dole queue.
