2011-03-10

LONDON, ENGLAND, March 10, 2011 (Press-News.org) As part of her preparations, Strictly Come Dancing winner Kara was taken to London Zoo to learn more about some of the creatures she would encounter.

'I don't love snakes and spiders. But we held a big snake, so I guess I conquered my fear of that,' explains Kara, who was joined by eight other celebrities for the trek, including Lorraine Kelly, Scott Mills and Olly Murs.

Also in this week's TV Choice, we've got a run down of what to expect from Comic Relief, including Miranda Hart in the MasterChef kitchen, while Ant & Dec undertake a unique TV challenge.

The cold case team has a new recruit in Eva Birthistle as Waking The Dead returns, while Downton Abbey star Hugh Bonneville stars in a mockumentary about organizing the 2012 Olympics. William Beck talks about joining Casualty as new medic Dr Dylan Keogh, and Adele Silva reveals Kelly Windsor's up to her old tricks in Emmerdale. Kevin Bridges lands his first headlining gig in Stand Up For The Week, and Alexander Armstrong introduces more Pointless. And there's more intrigue as The Event returns.

In the soaps, Whitney's on the game in EastEnders, and is it finally the end of the Websters' marriage in Coronation Street? Zak's out for revenge in Emmerdale, and Lynsey discovers the identity of her attacker in Hollyoaks. Simon's stabbed helping a patient in Doctors. Summer doesn't believe Tash's claims in Neighbours, and Ruby makes a move on Romeo in Home And Away.

You can also win a VIP London break for four to see the comedy Sign Of The Times in this week's great TV Choice competition.

Launched in 1999 TV Choice has become the essential companion to the UK's favourite past-time, with TV listings for all major terrestrial and digital channels. Now the UK's biggest selling consumer magazine, TV Choice sells over 1.3 million copies per week.
