Phew! We’ve just had a narrow escape, if reports are true that the Today programme has been ‘in talks with’ Katie Price, aka Jordan. In talks with? Is international-style diplomacy really necessary for Ms Price to be persuaded to accept such an invitation, guest-editing Radio 4’s flagship current-affairs slot one morning between Christmas and New Year? She has declined (it’s that world-shattering book on how to beat cellulite she needs to finish), and so we’ll have to put up with second-best, Colin Firth, whose qualifications for the job appear to be his ability to walk out of a lake, his white frilly shirt clinging to his manly chest, like Sir Lancelot on his way to meet Lady Guinevere.
The guest-editing scheme was dreamt up by the Today team in 2003 as a fun way to liven up the festive season.
