I saw that Verence. Its really sad isn't it? I know you shouldn't speak ill of the dead but George doesn't sound like he was a very nice man.

I must admit though I did wonder how she could be in a relationship with someone for five years and not think someone was amiss?

Perhaps she did have suspicions but put them to the back of her mind

Possibly. Although I'm more shocked that his wife didn't appear to know about Jo when there are pictures of them together all over the Internet. They've were even featured together in an article in a newspaper about odd couples.

Very strange and sad set of circumstances.

I don't know if anyone is about. But Ben was on BBC Radio London last night between 11pm and Midnight, but I was out later and didn't realise. It will be on Iplayer though.

I was channel hopping whilst coming down the M1 last night, and stayed on this show as he sounded very familiar. . It took me ages to work out it was Ben, until he confirmed my thoughts by mentioning Josie Gibson.

He was good, and very eloquent. No umming and ahhing at all.

Yes, he's a natural on the radio. I think it's what he does best.

Hey Ultra Violet or Vodka Drinka, does Ben know Gina? Someone has posted a pic of them together on the forum.

I think he does yes. I know he follows her on Twitter and I've seen the photo of them together before. It wouldn't surprise me if he knew Dexter as well. They all move in similar circles. He also met Danica when he was on holiday, he seems to know a lot of people who've been in the house but not at the same time as him.

I'm not sure if they are actually friends or if he just met her at one of the showbiz parties he attends and had a photo taken with her.
