BirminghamLive reports that the singer today told BBC Radio 2: "I don't know just I felt so much, just encouragement and support and love from home. And not just home, but in the Eurovision community in general, because there's so much love, sitting in that arena is like being in a church, it is just incredible.

Sam Ryder said he felt “fantastic” and that he would have a family curry as soon as he arrived home as he touched down in the UK a day after coming second in the Eurovision Song Contest.

Danny Miller jokingly sparked a cheeky 'feud' between two of the nation's biggest soaps, Emmerdale and Coronation Street.The Aaron Dingle actor's quip came after his television rival Elle Mulvaney spoke of meeting The Queen when she ventured up to Manchester last year to pay the Corrie cast a visit. Speaking at The National Lottery's Big Jubilee Street Party on Thursday, Elle revealed what it was like meeting the 96 year old monarch - who today made her first outing in six weeks amid her health issues.

They clearly got the memo as three of Coronation Street's young stars rocked up to the red carpet in similar outfits. Elle Mulvaney, Harriet Bibby, and Tanisha Gorey proved great minds think alike as they donned varying pastel blue outfits.

Some of Emmerdale and Coronation Street ’s biggest soap stars have joined forces this week as they took on a team of former professional football players in a charity match at Chorley FC’s Victoria Park training ground. Stars such as Corrie’s Andy Whyment and Alan Halsall, who play Kurt and Tyrone in the popular soap, teamed up with colleagues from Emmerdale including Sam Dingle actor James Hooton to try and raise money for the Rosemere Cancer Foundation and the Len Johnrose Trust. "For us as actors, we just kind of know that fear the crowd will turn up to see us type thing," said Alan.

After joining the cast of Coronation Street back in 1983, actor Michael Le Vell has become one of the more familiar faces on the cobbles. And with more than two decades on our screens, Michael, who plays Kevin Webster, has found himself at the centre of some dramatic storylines in Weatherfield throughout the years.

The man who kickstarted the careers of a raft of award-winning actors and household names from Greater Manchester has died. Tributes are pouring in to David Johnson, who set budding actors on the path to stardom at the Oldham Theatre Workshop, which he founded in 1968.

Fans of ITV soaps Coronation Street and Emmerdale can expect to see some big changes to their favourite pubs in the coming days as The Rovers Return and The Woolpack begin to stock alcohol free beer on tap. Thanks to a partnership with Heineken, 0.0 draught taps will now be featured on both sets, dispensing alcohol free beer alongside the already iconic fictional brews from Newton and Ridley and Ephraim Monk.The introduction of the new taps is park of Heineken’s commitment to normalising alcohol-free beer sales, with the brand hoping that by seeing it served up in two of the most recognisable pubs in the UK, the move will help to normalise the drink for customers over the next year.

While the average age for a woman in the UK to reach the menopause - when oestrogen levels drop and a natural pregnancy is no longer possible - is 51, it isn’t only something that happens in middle age. As Coronation Street viewers have seen when 20 year old Faye Windass (played by Ellie Leach) was diagnosed with premature ovarian failure, or early menopause, earlier this week, menopause can affect younger women too. In fact, according to the Daisy Network, early menopause affects around one in 100 women under the age of 40 and one in 1,000 women under the age of 30.
