Telling her and acknowleding it is one think... broadcasting it on national TV a wholly different thing

Brilliant! Thats exactly the sort of thing my DH would do, except without it being on TV of course... Good save with the PS about not being able to imagine watching it without her. That should smooth things over!

I hope the MSF has these sealed envelopes locked away somewhere as I've a feeling Martin will have been talking to Cheryl Cole this morning on GMTV for insider information

Good Sean Connery accent Martin!

hehe - you do realise you've just blown it now lol! Only a few million people read this site so that's OK . Is that more than watch the average C5 prog?!

Of course I cant not let an X-Factor thread go by without saying Diana Vickers for the win \o/
