IAN HYLAND on last night’s telly

I’ll Get This: ★★★★★

As the great jungle soothsayer Nick Knowlestradamus said last week, Harry Redknapp will now have his pick of the TV panel shows.

Anyone who saw Harry’s episode of this simple and brilliant restaurantbased BBC2 game show, which aired while he was Down Under, already knew he was a natural. I just hope ITV’s bookers were watching last night’s final meal of the series.

Because if they are looking to invest a Noel Edmonds-sized fee again next year, their man was sitting at that table.

Richard Madeley would be absolute gold in the jungle.

He strode into the restaurant

– hair all flicked and sunshine blond like he was auditioning

for a Bucks Fizz tribute band – and took control of proceedings.

No sooner had he downed his complimentary fizz, than he was ordering double gin and tonics all round – “Well, you can’t taste a single gin” – and insisting the table of five needed four bottles of wine immediately. As Richard knows all about wine from his This Morning days, his fellow diners were only too happy to let him choose.

But I have a feeling Richard’s claim that his

most attractive feature is his “forgiving nature” may have been put to the test by the end of the night.

He lost. Big time. And thanks in no small way to Steph McGovern ruthlessly ordering a £175 bottle of Dom Perignon once she’d won immunity from paying the bill, poor Dickie left the restaurant almost a grand lighter.

Still, he’s probably had far more uncomfortable experiences involving bills and champagne in the past.

NB: I’m sure he won’t mind me dragging that up. What with him being the forgiving sort.
