  I had to laugh at this one in the Daily Mail, firstly I couldn't care if he has had an affair but the headline, is that the best one they could come up with or was the journalist having a laugh

  BBC news reader who had affair with married blonde colleague moves on to another woman with the same colour hair and who also has a husband

  Is he bloddy blind as well. The two look nothing alike.
