Has to be one of the funniest headlines in years ....
Paul Daniels, the magician, was taken to hospital with head injuries after being hit in the face by a pizza thrown by the puppet Sooty.
The 73-year-old was filming a scene for ITV's The Sooty Show when he was struck by the flying pizza, leaving him dazed.
Daniels suffered a black eye and was taken to hospital for treatment, The Sun reported.
The newspaper claimed that the incident happened after Daniels complained that in a first take of the scene, the pizza had not been thrown hard enough.
But as the puppet - operated by co-star Richard Cadell - hurled the Italian dish a second time, Daniels was injured.
Chris Davis, Daniels's agent, told the newspaper: "It damaged his eye. We had to go to hospital and cancelled a gig, but he's made a full recovery."
even if its not true (apparently both Paul Daniels and Sooty have taken to twitter to play it down) it has still given me the giggles .... actually the thought of Paul Daniels & Sooty on twitter talking about pizzagate is funny enough all on its own

If you can keep your head while those around you are losing theirs, you may have misjudged the situation.
Even today, few will ever forget Mrs Merton's question to "the lovely" Debbie McGee, "So, what first attracted you to the millionaire Paul Daniels?"
“If you trust in yourself, and believe in your dreams, and follow your star. . . you'll still get beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and weren't so lazy.”
