Stephen Mulhern will present Monday's special which will bring viewers closer to the action and get a reaction from the live audience. 

On Thursday, Corrie's first live episode in 10 years will air. On Friday, Paul O'Grady will host a special one-off quiz show testing celebrities knowledge of 50 years of the street. Finally on Tuesday and Thursday 50 Years, 50 Moments will air, showcasing 50 of the greatest Corrie moments chosen by the public.

Piers Morgan ready to quit Britain's Got Talent?

Piers Morgan has signed a new £2.6 million deal with ITV. 

The deal includes 12 episodes of Piers Morgan's Life Stories, in which he interviews celebrities and asks deep personal questions. It also includes 6 other shows similar to Piers Morgan On... It does not include Britain's Got Talent however. Piers recently signed a deal with US News channel CNN to take over from Larry King which begins in January. With this all going on, Piers will be unable to take part in the next series of BGT.


So, this news asks the question. What's happening with BGT? Since Simon Cowell announced weeks ago he was stepping down as a judge during the audition process because of the US X Factor and Amanda Holden is talking part in Shrek: The Musical (feel free to laugh, I did) and now Piers, what's going to happen? Will ITV cancel the show? Will they get new judges instead? There's already been rumors of Paul O'Grady and Peter Kay being in the pipeline. 

So what do you think will happen to BGT? What do you want to happen to it? Let us know your thoughts!
