Good Morning Britain will be championing the unsung heroes of healthcare this Friday, as the team presents highlights of the show’s first Health Star Awards. They recognise those who’ve gone beyond the call of duty – and presenter Piers Morgan is thrilled to take part… “I helped create the Pride Of Britain Awards when I was at the Daily Mirror,” Piers tells Inside TV. “And it’s a similar thought process, really, trying to honour people who don’t normally get prizes. It rewards ordinary folk doing extraordinary things, very specifically for the NHS.” At a time when our healthcare service is under attack, Piers hopes that the awards will show a different side of the story. “You only tend to read about the NHS when it’s in crisis,” he…

TRACY’S TRICKS! After Carla and Tracy’s recent catfight in Corrie, Leanne recalled that Tracy went out with Ciaran – Keith Duffy from Boyzone – and tried to con him out of the profits of his restaurant. When was that? Hannah, via email It was back in 2004. Chef Ciaran had opened his own restaurant with the help of a lady called Penny King.

“I guess I feel sorry for Nick, with him being in the dark about Carla and Robert,” he muses. “But he isn’t a jealous guy, and he’s willing to admit his own shortcomings. I think he could get past it, though there’s always the potential for him to let rip. “The situation between Carla and Robert isn’t as black and white as it was for David when he found out Nick and Kylie slept together.
