PS

I’VE been watching the new Celebrity Big Brother with horror, having flashbacks to my own terrifying time on the show three years ago, when I took part expressly and openly to pay my tax bill. What grates rather is that this season’s female contestants (my colleague Rachel Johnson among them) all say they’ve only deigned to go into the house because the theme is ‘Year of the Woman’. Wouldn’t it be real girl power if everyone’s fees went to support victims of domestic abuse?
