5 BIG QUESTIONS

And so to the of the week

1 Was Michael Gove picked to speak for the Government about the Anglo-French scallop war because he looks like one?

2 Holly Willoughby saying standing in for bigger-thanDec-but-hardly-a-giant Ant McPartlin on I’m A Celebrity means stepping into “big shoes”. Is that her first gag out the way?

3 The sale of Nigel Farage’s National Portrait Gallery painting failing to attract a single bidder. Might it have gone if they’d chucked in a free set of darts?

4 Researchers claiming the more holidays you take the longer you live. Shall we get the Queen to send all our MPs their 100th birthday telegram now?

5 Jennie Bond saying she used to flirt at the BBC by slapping the odd bum. Who else hopes that bum was Nicholas Witchell?
