No point in getting up any more: Denise Van Outen has left The Big Breakfast after two-and-a-half years with the Channel 4 show. The divine Ms Outen's departure has saddened her co-presenter, Johnny Vaughan, and every other early-rising male.

Tickets for the All Saints' concert in Dublin's Point Theatre next summer go on sale at 8 a.m. today, so unless you're up in time for The Big Breakfast, you might already be too late. The show, on May 31st 1999, is part of the girls' first world tour, and the number to call in the Republic is 1890 88 88 88 or 01232 65 65 65 in Northern Ireland.
