I had a bit of a surprise when I looked in the Daily Telegraph yesterday and read Christina Odone's notebook on page 22. OK, actually it isn't a paper I usually read, but Christina tipped me off that I should have a look.

The story behind it is that I occasionally join Christina on a programme called 'The Moral of the Story' which goes out on ITV on Sunday nights with Alistair Stewart in the chair. It is one of those late-night discussion formats where you take a look at a few stories from the week's news.

It's been great fun getting to know Christina (it's never dull when she is around!) as but I happen to let slip to her whilst we were chatting during the last recording about a rather embarrasing incident which happened to me on the BBC's Heaven and Earth show a while back. Anyway, it has made her Daily Telegraph diary, and you can read it here [1] (its the third item right at the bottom of the page).

Things could have been a lot worse - I also told her the story of a job I had whilst at university involving a two-metre python and a nightclub act, but that is perhaps for another day...
