We've got an incredibly busy show today and then obviously everyone's rushing off to be fed champagne and chocolates by their loved ones so let's got on with telling you about it...
First. An outcome to a chilling story we've been following since summer 2005.
18 year old Roberto Malasi burst into a christening party and shot Zainab Kalokoh dead - she was cradling a tiny baby. Two weeks later, before being caught for that first horrifying crime, he dragged teenager Ruth Okechukwu from her car and stabbed her through the heart. A double murderer, today sentenced to thirty years in jail. But those close to the second victim are asking why he wasn't caught sooner. We speak to the policeman in charge.
A story, not unconnected comes next. Marcus Powell's been finding out more about a website called gonetoosoon.co.uk. It's a space for anyone who's lost a loved one, often through violent means, to remember them, mourn them, ask questions about why their death occurred. And its popularity is growing. We speak to the founders and take a look around some of the touching tributes.
Ken Livingstone's the star of a new web advert. Well he's the main attraction anyway, even if it's not actually him in it. This ad's been dreamed up by a political lobbying website and it attacks the Mayor's records, with the gloves very firmly off. It's the kind of short film you're likely to see during American elections, no punches pulled. Can elections and political agendas be swayed by this kind of ad? What's Ken's reaction? We'll tell all later.
After the dark start to the show - the light....the sparkly showbiz light of music's biggest night. Yes, It's the Brits (by the way if you were our competition winners earlier in the week enjoy your evening !!). Steve's on the red carpet lying in wait for all the celebs who will be parading up it. He's also checking out the runners and riders...AND looking ahead to the actual ceremony. Russell Brand is presenting it. Live. Before the watershed. Can the anarchic comic be trusted or will it all end in tears. Whichever way it goes we're sure it'll be entertaining. Especially if you're off to the aftershow party (no we're not jealous of our winners at all !!)
More sparkle here - in the shape of Tiffany jewels.....a THOUSAND POUNDS worth of them could be yours, PLUS a romantic night for two at fancy London hotel PLUS champagne and flowers PLUS a romantic meal in a top restaurant, a limo, entrance to a top nightclub AND - his and hers Tom Tom Sat Navs in special Valentines Day cases. We want to win this one but we're not allowed. You are though so tune in and get texting !!!!
Chrissie's here too and she's got a some of your photos to show off. Thanks to everyone who's already sent some in. She's looking forward to seeing many more - weather@itvlondon.com is the address.
We'll see you at 6.
