I rarely post about my TV goings-on but I'm honoured to be writing the fallout from the historic crossover between two of the UK's biggest shows. Tune in tomorrow night for all the action and then on Tuesday to see me (and every wonderful and talented person on the Emmerdale team) running with ball.

Breaking the News - 10 Years of Breaking the News - BBC Sounds
Des Clarke is joined by Jay Lafferty, Stuart Mitchell, Elaine Malcolmson and Mark Nelson.
This has to be my all time favourite episode of #breakingthenews So many BTN panellists from the last 10 years in there (and also a few gags from me)

Thanks Mike, it was fun to do!
I like the tagline too - wonder if they do sponsorships.
