Not since Arg waddled around without any trousers on on Towie: Live has there been a more ugly and pointless hour of television than Channel 5's The Big Benefits Row.
Spongers and scroungers - two words we heard a lot during last night's hour of squawking and drivel - could easily have been applied to the Channel 5 execs who commissioned this nonsense.
Feeding off the laugh-and-point-and-feel-better-about-yourself success of Channel 4's Benefits Street, Channel 5 decided to beat its broadcasting rival to the punch and host a live debate on the subject. A subject which host Matthew Wright claimed had brought the nation to "boiling point".
What followed was click-bait TV. An hour of Daily Express front page headlines spliced together with Edwina Currie and Katie Hopkins hurling out bile and snarling like Gremlins to screams of fury from members of the audience.
There was zero debate, plenty of screeching and snide remarks,...

Benefits Street's White Dee and Katie Hopkins came face-to-face tonight (February 3) to debate the country's benefits system.
The show also featured panelists including former London Mayor Ken Livingstone, ex-Tory MP Edwina Currie and former model Annabel Giles, who previously lived on benefits as a single mother.
Hopkins said housing benefits were never set up to pay people to live "where they can't afford to live", while Currie and campaigner Jack Monroe were involved in a heated argument about food banks.
Hopkins's involvement in the debate attracted criticism on social media, with Coronation Street actor Charlie Condou saying that the show deserved "not to be taken seriously".
After watching The Benefits Shouting Match, I've taken the most important message from it - Owen Jones is fit.

Benefits Street's White Dee is set to go face-to-face with Katie Hopkins in a live debate tonight (February 3).
The pair will form part of a panel to discuss benefits in the UK, alongside former London Mayor Ken Livingstone, ex-Tory MP Edwina Currie and former model Annabel Giles, who previously lived on benefits as a single mother.
Having featured heavily as a benefits claimant on the Channel 4 series, 42-year-old Dee will have to confront media commentator Hopkins, who previously compared James Turner Street residents to "parasites sucking the blood out of your pet terrier".
Channel 5's director of programming Ben Frow said: "With Benefits & Proud airing on Channel 5 last October and subsequent series from other broadcasters, the benefits debate is very much part of the news agenda.

I'm a Celebrity star Annabel Giles was the first camper evicted from the jungle this week. Digital Spy caught up with the former model to find out about her eventful journey.
How are you feeling, Annabel?

I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! star Amy Willerton is being herself in the jungle, her father Bruce Willerton has said.
The show's first eliminee Annabel Giles recently denied suggestions that she "picked on" Amy during her time on the show, but Bruce has now explained that they cleared the air when she was voted out.
"When [Annabel] came out I gave her a hug and I sort of said, 'I'd like to have a talk in the bar', as you do," Bruce said on Lorraine.
"I kind of wanted to talk to her about a couple of things, the perception, and it was really good to do that because I got her perception on the event. And I say the word 'perception' because you get perceptions in the camp and they see things differently in there."
However, Bruce joked that he understood the allegations that Amy is not pulling her weight in camp,...

I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! stars Amy Willerton and Lucy Pargeter have cleared the air over their recent contraband disagreement.
Willerton handed in some banned concealer earlier this week but was disappointed to learn that the other contestants had been discussing it while she was out of camp.
She later turned to Rebecca Adlington to express her sadness, though the Olympic swimmer promised: "They are not saying nasty things apart from the fact they are disappointed in you for not handing it in."
"Well, the guys have said they are," Willerton replied. "The other women snap at me constantly, and you might not have noticed it, but they whisper so much and are making me paranoid, I just think I haven't done anything."
She continued: "I don't feel I can talk to them because they are not upfront with me. It's only me they have an issue...

The remaining I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! campmates have reflected on Annabel Giles's departure from the show last night (December 1).
The former model became the first celebrity to be voted out of this year's series, after spending ten days in the jungle.
Westlife star Kian Egan admitted that he found her exit "a bit upsetting", as she "really didn't want to leave". He suggested that she should have received one of the immunity tokens in recent days.
Emmerdale's Lucy Pargeter praised Giles, adding that she is a "very smart, quick and no-nonsense lady".
Vincent Simone - who entered the camp with Giles - was reduced to tears by her departure.
He said: "I didn't think I was going to be this upset. The fact that me and Annabel joined the camp together obviously made us closer together. Nobody will ever know what it's like to be in that situation.

Vincent Simone says yes. Annabel Giles says no. It's the question on everybody's lips - is Amy Willerton being picked on in the I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! jungle?
From this viewer's point of view, it's hard to come to any other conclusion than, well, yes, kind of. Amy seems like quite a charming young girl - quite switched on, eager and willing to participate in Trials (she hasn't really had even a hint of a whine), and generally rather sweet. So why all the comments from some of the other campmates?
If you listen to Annabel, the tension all began over that contraband concealer. If that was the case, we could understand it somewhat; while it would hardly be the decent thing for all of the contestants to mutter openly about Amy's betrayal right in front of her and leave her feeling isolated, we'd understand how...

Steve Davis surprised fellow camp-mates by donning just a palm tree leaf to protect his modesty during a fashion show on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! last night.
The world champion snooker player fashioned the leaf into a loin cloth - similar to Sinitta's infamous X Factor palm leaf bikini - as he took part in the Modesty Smock fashion show in the jungle yesterday (December 1).
He whipped off his white T-shirt to reveal his makeshift attire as he strutted down an imaginary catwalk, with David Emanuel, Laila Morse and Lucy Pargeter sitting on the front row and almost crying with laughter.
Speaking about his risqué outfit, he joked: "From my back-to-basics range - the Adam and Eve collection."

Ahead of the trial, Pargeter worried that the public had nominated her to take part because she had offended them in some way.
She said: "Automatically you think, 'Oh shoot, what have I done wrong? Are people trying to punish me for something?' You don't think they're voting for any other reason so your brain starts going a bit and you think, 'What have I done? Who have I offended?'"
The soap star was comforted by Matthew Wright and Annabel Giles, who told her she was "strong and brave like a lion".

I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! star Kian Egan has admitted that he was nervous about taking on a Bushtucker Trial.
The public voted to force the Westlife star to take part in a challenge yesterday (November 25), giving trial veteran Joey Essex a break.
The campmates agreed that it was nice Essex could take some time off, while Annabel Giles said: "Weirdly, we're really pleased for Kian because he's been sort of at the tether, like a champion ready to fight."
However, Egan - who also said Essex "deserves some time off" - admitted that he was feeling worried about the test.
"I've wanted to do one," he told David Emanuel. "I'm just nervous."
Emanuel suggested that Egan was worried about living up to Essex's success, saying: "Don't forget Joey's done incredibly well, and boys being boys, he wants to prove he can do it as well. So that's the added pressure.

I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! star Vincent Simone has been banned from weeing in camp.

She later added: "No, no, no, you can't wee in camp. Would you wee in your house apart from in your toilet?"

New I'm a Celebrity contestant Annabel Giles has complained that female TV stars are forgotten about once they are over the age of 45.
The 54-year-old broadcaster said that she hoped appearing on the ITV reality show would help her represent older women that are being ignored by producers and TV execs.
"It really is true with older people, especially women, that they are not seen on the television," said Giles.
"I would love to start an opening for older people. When you get to 45, it's as if you are never heard again. It is awful. It is like having the carpet whipped away from your feet. I would like to do more TV so other older people can do television.
"It is not representative of society at all. There are lots of older ladies around who are perfectly capable. I know we have wrinkles but we don't lose our marbles at 50. It's mad.
