Axed 'X Factor' contestant John Adams has called the show "cruel".

AXED TV institution Top of the Pops is to return — with the BBC showing weekly reruns in its original time slot.

AXED presenter Miriam O’Reilly said she had done the “right thing by standing up” to the BBC after she won an age discrimination case against the corporation.

Axed talkshow host Robert Kilroy-Silk is to stand as a Euro MP for the United Kingdom Independence Party in next month’s elections, the party said today.
