Anthony reveals his strange selection process: "Quite early in the application process my proposed co host dropped out so Jason, our chorus' musical director suggested Mark.
"Jason said: 'Mark's got a super house!' At that point I only knew Mark a little as a fellow chorus member - he agreed and the rest is history. What a co host he turned out to be!"
Anthony loved having Linda stay over. He gushes: "Linda was a delightful guest and it was lovely to be able to spoil someone who, I suspect, does an awful lot for other people and probably doesn't spoil herself. She even insisted on helping with the washing up. A perfect guest in every way."

Linda says: It was hot and I found it hard to sleep but I loved the elaborate breakfast menu. I wanted porridge which wasn’t on the menu, but he had some in the cupboard, plus the honey and seeds I add to it
