For as well as learning about the UK immigration proposals by all involved we are also witnessing various ‘impromptu’ revelations.

‘Gordon and Sarah’ revealed that they like waking up to a smoothie and ‘Dave’ likes nothing more than a leisurely stroll with Beefy (this is of course a reference to a sponsored walk with ex-England cricketer Ian Botham).
