Minimum £1000 cash prize and depends min roll overs. On the last show this had reached £40,000, but more shows recorded since so don't know if it has gone up or down.

blimey - I didn't realise there would be so much to it - 3 outfits?!  No smoking breaks!!

The no smoking breaks I can handle, but not sure I have three suitable shirts that match their criteria.  Oh well...

Got colleagues sending me food and drink questions by email today.  I have learnt such interesting facts as where ice cream was invented and when sliced bread was introduced to the UK.  Let's just hope they come up on Thursday!

One of the only things the US can claim it actually invented.
