I know Sinitta - not in the Biblical sense. The others no idea although apparently the ripped jeans pair are a couple. Maybe they share their clothes. And we knew what was in store because she said that he was more intelligent than her.

That's the one (Sinitta), and if that it the case (ripped jeans prats), I don't think they have a brain cell between them

Love Sinitta's boots.

Every time I think I'll give it another go (which is rarely), I get fed up with his nonsensical constant "what do you think at home?". As if a) we could answer him and b) we would never think of trying to come up with an answer ourselves if he didn't keep prompting us to do so.

I'm beginning to think he goes through the questions prior to recording so he can work out his little answer related puns and quips

Yet you watch Pointless with that OTT patronising twat Armstrong - haven't watched it in years because of him.

It's possible, but to be fair I think the big O (not the late great Roy) seems to be genuinely quite quick witted. He often comes up with quips on the fly on other shows he's been on.

He's very quick on The Unbelievable Truth.

Oh yes, totally agree as there are some things you couldn't predict, yet he's there with a very witty riposte; but like all of these presenters he (imo) studies form and have a mental list of funny lines relating to what is coming up.

For example :- , and I do still love the show - on HIGNFY there is no way anyone is that quick witted with some of the very funny retorts and jokes, which have been clearly thought out before hand, with some of them being feeds between Ian and Paul. It stands out a mile it's rehearsed, being too quick and too slick.

Pleased to see Jenny Bond getting Wouldn't it be nice cream.

Pleased to see Jenny Bond........................

And again, the only one of the so called "famous faces" that I knew - who the f**k the rest were, I have absolutely no idea, and wouldn't waste time Googling them.

The guy who won is one of about 5 incarnations of Martin Fowler on eastenders

I didn't think she could get much higher on my 'Fancy' chart :)

At last! Next week, someone who really is a "famous face" - Clive Anderson
