ITV This Morning

Well, that's telly land I suppose... Kids, dogs, footballer's wives and two of the loveliest presenters I think I could ever wish to meet.



Quick back-stage gossip: the guys and girls behind the scenes work miracles. How else would I have looked so vaguely human and relatively calm?



Eamon Holmes and his wife make a great team; if it looked like a friendly chat with friends that's because they made it feel that like that.



I cannot believe the chaos and intimacy of the studio: moving from one corner to another, set construction going on behind us as we went 'live' and you wouldn't have a clue that that was happening, would you?



Although we were pitched against each other for the purpose of the programme, Martin Daubney and I agreed on an awful lot of stuff, so much that the researchers got a little jittery before the item wondering if we'd become too pally. Well, we did go for a pint in the Mulberry Bush (opposite the studios) afterwards, observing the antics of the paparazzi as they sit behind their laptops waiting for the next celebrity to snap!



Those kids, those children in the fashion item along with Mrs Peter Crouch, they were utter stars. They were all there when I arrived (which was well over an hour before the programme started) and yet they were so well behaved while waiting for their slot. Respect to the mums who were with them; I know that doesn't happen without hard work.



And the dogs were quite well-behaved too!
