YOU can sort of understand why a certain kind of person might want to open up their home life to the scrutiny of those watching on TV.
After all fame, it would appear, is the main career objective of a certain percentage of society, no matter how embarrassing that might be - hence X-Factor, Big Brother et al.

I missed Celebrity Wife Swap when it aired on Sunday but was told I had to watch the re-run last night over on Four.
To launch a new series of voyeur vision' comedian Freddie Starr and former Page Three girl Samantha Fox left their respective partners to set up home together.
I know that TV execs believe that pairing up complete opposites with usually explosive results is what we want to watch but I just found it all quite depressing.
Freddie will never be a new man'. Left to make tea for the family he rang the local takeaway.
As his wife and Sam's partner seemed to be having a good time, Freddie and Sam provided the so-called entertainment.
But is it really? Do we really need to be so intrusive and watch people having rows and moaning about each other?
