Katona named celebrity mum of the year
Thursday 3 March 2005
She last won in 2002 when she was happily married to Westlife star Brian McFadden.
They split in September and 24-year-old Kerry now brings up daughters Molly, aged three, and two-year-old Lilly Sue on her own.
"I'm over the moon to win again", Kerry said as she picked up her award in London. "For the first time in my life I'm truly gobsmacked. Molly and Lilly will be so proud of their mummy."
In May, Kerry will star in ITV reality show 'My Fair Kerry', a 'Faking It' style programme in which she goes to Vienna and tries to pass herself off as a member of the English aristocracy.
Further TV shows are in the pipeline but she said she now has her heart set on becoming an actress and hopes to star in a big romantic comedy.
She appeared in Irish film 'Showbands' last year and will soon appear in the sequel.

- Mad Men
The fifth season of Mad Men has moved on slowly from the studied stillness of the early days to present at least one earth-shattering pivotal moment an episode. We've also noticed small chinks emerging in Don Draper's granite-like countenance (we don't mean his recent choice of hideous sports jackets) and the feeling that, perhaps, the man is heading for a great fall and a taste of his own medicine in the love stakes. We could of course be wrong and he and young wife Megan will live in domestic bliss forever. Ha! In tonight's episode, it's the season of goodwill to all men, and Christmas wishes look set to become a reality for some of our Madison Avenue favourites.

- Eurovision Song Contest Semi-Final One
Eurovision Song Contest Semi-Final One RTÉ Two/BBC Three, 8.00pm Rating: *** The Jedward juggernaut rolls into the Borat-like Azerbaijan and with Marty Whelan providing commentary on our brave boys' efforts it really doesn't get more Eurotastic than this. This is the first of two semis in the lead up to Saturday's singing shootout and John and Edward will be battling to be one of the ten countries from each semis to join the host nation, along with France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom in the final. Let's hope they keep their head above the, eh, waterline.

- Touch
In tonight's all-new episode, Jake forms a special bond with another mute boy. It's a typically eventful week for Martin, swinging from the expose of a corrupt cop to the romantic endeavours of a Brazilian street musician hoping his guitar-playing will also pluck the heartstrings of a beautiful woman he's had his eye on. News comes to light about one of Teller's key patients too. High concept but warm and fuzzy high concept all the same.

- Fíorscéal
Every child gets through some 6000 diapers before he or she is toilet trained. Every diaper takes 400 years to decompose in landfill. Worn for just a few hours, then chucked away to rot forever in the garbage, diapers are a symbol of our modern aspirations and consumerist society and have become an ecological nightmare. All the more frightening if we consider that babies from China and India are not yet wearing diapers. Fíorscéal presents both a serious and humorous investigation into the diaper dilemma with this film.

- Neville's Doorstep Challenge
Door stepping is a much frowned upon journalistic practice but it's more than acceptable for a crack commando interior decorator like Neville Knott. In this new series, he arrived unannounced at a randomer's door and offers to turn their life around, well, their kitchen/bathroom/living room. Tonight Nev and the team makeover a dining room in Co. Clare and in the process we the amazed viewer learn how to transform a burnt orange, uncoordinated dining room into a classical slice of the Hamptons (is that in nearby Ennistymon?), on a tight budget. And of course, proud homeowners Collette and Alan get to see their brand new space for the first time.
