[Romantic Old Bird]

Morning all!
Setting off late for work this morning and got this bonus, Helen in all her lovely bubbliness on the sofa talking to Eamonn.

They asked her how she was doing, fine, of course, and then how Paul was 'out of the limelight'.

She answered that he was very happy, designing cars, which is 'what he likes doing'.

Eamonn then said, 'Well, why wouldn't he be happy, living with you?'

Very sweet, but I think it confirms he will be staying out of the limelight.

She was of course tremendously excited, but unphased and actually gave some interesting titbits of information about how the housemates are likely to have been spending the last few hours before entering the house.

Apparently they all had to walk around the hotel with coats on their heads so they wouldn't get to know each other beforehand! Helen had apparently eyeballed Dean's ankles whilst still in the hotel!

I think she will do very well on this, and it's a real bonus for her with the end of Lorraine looming. She has become a professional, no doubt about that, and she is still herself. Let's hope she can carve herself a little niche somewhere.
