The theme for the evening is "Mad Hat" tea party and Becky is making the hats, so no surprises to see Jon's is covered in tomato sauce sachets. With a theme like that no one will expect a visit from a troop of Morris dancers, which will delight fancy footed ex-raver Mel, but horrify an already traumatised Liv. And just exactly where did that horse come from?
25x65 - Bath, Denis Verrier
March 30, 2012
It's the final day of the competition in Bath and it's the turn of patriotic Frenchman Denis Verrier.
