Lorraine vs Christine?

So someone at the BBC has decided they've had enough of Christine Bleakley having the upper hand in negotiations. Christine has been bleating that she just doesn't know which way to turn - to the millions on offer from her current employers or the millions from ITV whose offer must also include working with Adrian Chiles (the man who made her look good in the first place, with whom she now shares an agent, having dumped her previous one by text - nice one Christine!)  Obviously not wishing to be dumped by text and fed up with by being forced to wait on the sidelines by this WAG, the Beeb have brought on their own star player - a certain Lorraine Kelly.  Lorraine is the one that got away - twice!  She survived the death of TV-am and now the cull at GMTV, having miraculously been offered a revamp of her longstanding add on show.  Like Christine, she is a safe, white bread presenter so a clever choice of weapon...... but I don't believe a word of it.  Read the last line on the link in the Daily Mail piece - it's a total giveaway.  Will it put a boot up Christine's bum?  I do hope so.  She's been looking rather smug recently but won't want to risk letting the ball slip through her fingers.  Personally, I can't see her committing to those early hours but the leverage has served her well.  So far.  There's always a tipping point....and now it looks like a 1-1 draw.
