  2. It's seven - Victoria Beckham has three sons, Mel B has two children, Geri Halliwell has a daughter and Emma Bunton a son.

  4. It was Capello, by FA chairman Brian Barwick as he unveiled the second foreigner to take charge of the England team. Tomlinson died of cancer having raised more than £1.5m for charity.
  5. It's £3,850,000 - £2m for ITV, £1.5m for Channel 4, £300,000 for Five, £150,000 for Channel 4 and £50,000 for the BBC.
  6. It was Kenny Rogers, whose song The Gambler became the unofficial England rugby team anthem.

  8. The groom, Reinaldo Waveqche, was 24 when he married Adelfa Volpes in late September. She died less than a month later.
  9. It's Rimmel, but all three were censured by the Advertising Standards Authority for using false lashes. Avon claimed to make lashes "appear 65% longer" and L'Oreal's was "up to 60% longer".
  10. An Indian man "married" a female dog in November, hoping to atone for stoning two other dogs to death.
  11. Chancellor Alastair Darling laid out his plans on 9 October, a few short days after Mr Brown said he'd thought of holding an election but decided not to - and a week after the shadow chancellor outlined similar plans at the Tory conference.
  12. It was Mr El-Banna, released on bail on 20 December. Ms Gibbons was jailed in late November and released after eight days. Mrs Darwin returned to the UK in mid-December; she and her husband, who disappeared five years ago in a canoeing accident and walked into a police station on 1 December, are in custody.
