IS nothing sacred? They're now introducing all sorts of famous "stars" to our favourite soaps to spice them up.

Patsy Kensit is doing sultry bitch in Emmerdale and Norman Wisdom made a surreal appearance in Coronation Street as, ahem, basically Norman Wisdom complete with much gurning and swaying about. Mr Grimsdale, help!

Now, Pussy Galore herself, Honor Blackman, is joining The Street as, would you believe, Norris's love interest.

It may work on The Simpsons, but not on Corrie where good writing and acting create unforgettable characters.

For me, famous stars simply muddy the plot.
