UK MUSIC: WRETCH 32 FT JOSH KUMRA – ‘DON’T GO’

People seem to be losing their minds over Wretch 32 and his new single Don’t Go featuring singer Josh Kumra.  I just listened to it for the first time today and it will probably do well in the charts.  This is a “love rap/song” and Wretch looks all “sad” and “vulnerable” in the video (fantastic acting), so this should melt the hearts of all the teenage girls out there.

UK TV: ‘LOOSE WOMEN’ SUFFERS RATINGS SLUMP / HOST KATE THORNTON AXED

First she was axed from hosting The X-Factor and now Kate Thornton has been axed from co-hosting Loose Women.
