I have, stupidly perhaps, agreed to do this TV thing with my best friend Helen. It's called "Deck Diners" and gets shown on UK Living. It's a bit like Street Date, but involves cooking and a boat! We're filming it the Monday after next in Brighton and I am really anxious about it!
Basically I cook a meal with a top chef (I have been told his name but it escapes me right now) on the yacht, while Helen goes into town and cruises to find me a date to eat the meal I am preparing with. Then she comes back, we swop, she makes desert with the chef, while I find her a date.
Now I'm not so worried about Helen choosing me a date because she knows that I just go for looks as opposed to anything barely resembling a personality (not entirely true). I am worried because I really don't think I have any idea what type of guy that Helen goes for, which is appalling really. As I have said, she IS my best friend and I have known her for getting on for 15 years - and I have no idea really of the type of guy that she goes for. I think I would have had a better idea when we were both students. She would have gone for someone like Stu on Big Brother.
Mmmm...Stu from Big Brother...
Anyway...
I am really nervous that she will choose someone really handsome and lovely and that I will pick her a city wanker who'll she end up having dinner with and really hate. And then she'll hate me! Oh dear.
I'm also really worried that the microphones they put on us will pick up my heavy breathing Darth Vadar like throat issue.
Sorry, what did you say? You want to know what I am doing this weekend? Well, let me tell you...I am going to Swansea to stay with Vix's brother and sit in his hot tub all weekend swigging beer! Yum!
