Hi. You may know me as the flamboyant presenter of BBC1's Holiday programme and the now defunct Changing Rooms show, but I was actually trained as a classical painter you know. My undoubted flair for all things creative helped me graduate with honours from the Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts in 1986. I set up my own interior design consulting firm which I can confirm is NOT cheap, and it was then that I was head hunted for TV thanks to the fact I'm very charming and charismatic. Well, why deny it? A lot of people think I'm gay, but I am in fact married with two children. So the next time your Dad yells to turn the telly over when I appear in my elegant garb waving around my lucious, voluminous long locks, you can set him straight, the tragic, bigotted ruddy-faced old fucker.
