PETERBOROUGH: SUA HADDAWAY

Sue says: "I took part for a laugh, and boy was it fun. I never thought I would be so worn out buy the end of the week. Don and I have dinner parties like this all the time, we love having friends over.

"The worst thing was that I had to sleep out the night before I cooked, and I was so tired when I got home. The best thing of that day was knowing it would all soon be over. I can not tell you how tired I was, most nights we did not get home till 2.30am, five nights on the trot.

"All my fellow contestants were great. We all said how lucky we were that we all got on so well, even though we were all so different. Kate and I got on great, she said I just made her laugh all week, that’s me all the time. We have spoken on the phone and we are meeting up for coffee with Lucy next week."
