Trisha Goddard: I Dated A Footballer . . . But I'm Not A Gold Digger!

UKTV, 3.50am

From the 7.30 Report and Play School to her own Jerry Springer-style morning chat show on Britain's Channel Five. I love the show's blurb that claims it tackles the difficult and important issues: coming soon - Why Does The Mystery Man On The Internet Want To Send You Secret Money?

Next to Pearl Bay's Bob Jelly, Andrew Winter is my favourite TV real estate agent. In Selling Houses Abroad, even Andrew seemed stunned when a participant declared he had bought a house in the Pyrenees without telling his wife. Maybe it was the final straw for Andrew who packed up and moved to the antipodes to present Selling Houses Australia. He's been called in to help shift a house in Dingley Village, which has always reminded me of the suburb in Neighbours, Erinsborough. Brett and Peter's pad is a throwback to the halcyon days of Toadie, Stu and Connor's No. 30 Ramsay Street, the House of Trouser. On view is a drum kit, Sopranos posters and sporting trophies. The towel hanging over the shower recess seems to ignore Winter's golden rule: is your home looking its absolute best? Could they not have tidied up?
