The Who’s Laughing Now singer continues her Heartbeat tour this weekend performing at the O2 Apollo in Manchester on Friday, and the Liverpool Guild on Saturday.


The songstress will be looking to build on the momentum of her four MOBO wins earlier in the month and will undoubtedly be raring to go after recovering from a broken leg.


Fans can look forward to the Do It Like a Dude star performing several hits from her debut album, including number one smash Price Tag and Nobody’s Perfect.

Spooks

We wave goodbye to Spooks this Sunday on BBC1 at 9pm. The series has captivated audiences for the past nine years and promises to end with the most explosive episode yet.


A lot of questions have been thrown up over the life-span of the show and now viewers can expect a few of those to be answered.


Fans of the earlier series can also look forward to the return of Matthew Macfadyen, who played head of counter-terrorism Tom Quinn for the first three seasons.

Manchester United v Manchester City

Two Premier League heavyweights clash on Sunday at 1:30pm on SkySports 1 as the Red Devils take on the Citizens.


Manchester City’s new found wealth has put them on an even footing with their neighbours and they will now go into the fixture expecting to get something.


Both teams won in Europe this week but questions over the mindset of big personalities in the teams still linger. Wayne Rooney is currently smarting from his Euro 2012 suspension and Carlos Tevez is still deeply unhappy at the Etihad Stadium.
