Ben Duncan has been on ITV2 this evening talking about the engagement of Will and Kate as they were all at St Andrews University

With an interesting life and mix of friends which cover the entire spectrum of British society (but all of whom have, as he says, 'something about them') is it any wonder he was so stressed and bored with the company (excluding a couple of noble exceptions) he was trapped with in the BB house?

No wonder at all UV, a little bit ironic really how he got dissed on DS for answering questions on the JJJ relationshi......and yet here he is giving comment on the future King and Queen of our Nation.

Are you at home if I give you a call now.

I saw it as well, and he was so lovely and adorable as always!

I loved how he referred to the Queen as "Her Majesty The Queen" rather than just "The Queen" as most people would!!

Who's Will and Kate?

I misread the thread when I first read it and thought he was talking about Will and Grace for a second. I was like why is he talking about a TV show for

The most wonderful illustration of bitter almonds has just gone up - and it sort of proves that there is a God - and also why the almonds are so bitter in the first place - it all makes sense now

Ben's association with William and Catherine is probably going to spark off some more jealousy but I am sure that he will be able to handle it

They certainly have plenty of time for him - which will stand him in good stead over future years - he might turn into the next royal pundit

I think they DO know who they are,they are just TRYING to be smart and failing dismally

I missed it! Stupid I'm A Celeb!

Right ITV Player......................

[Vodka Drinka]

My only complaint is regarding his hair! Maybe it was the way he'd brushed it? But the quiff appeared to be much smaller! Please grow your quiff back Ben so I can one day run my fingers through it!

Ben is scheduled to be on Radio London tonight at 10.00 - probably talking about the Will and Kate story amongst other things - even people far from London can listen in to this by using the BBC i-Player - he is usually very relaxed and fluent and interesting on the radio - in many ways it is a wonderful medium for him (though I always miss seeing his face too)

What is such fun is that Jo Good always says that Ben is her absolute favourite from the series and that she thinks that all the others have been more or less forgotten already - a woman of not inconsiderable taste, I feel

[Vodka Drinka]

I love listening to Ben on Radio London, he is such a natural on it!

[Ultra Violet]

I suggested that they might invite Corin on with Ben another time - she would enjoy the experience - and it would be good listening for the many people who like both of them - even though their styles are so different they go together so well somehow

Our Ben.....I like that Is quoted at the very end.

Yes ... that is exactly what I thought at first ... and there is a sort of similarity between them in some ways (though I think 'our' Ben has more charm and charisma and more of a twinkle) ... but right at the end comes the quote from the Ben we like to follow ... better late than not there at all ...

Ah yes, I didn't read far enough down. Apologies to Truth Teller.

Truth Teller usually does tell the truth ... one smart cookie ... one of the smartest in the jar ...

Jo Goode on Radio London has been taking phone calls from people wanting her to send their love to Ben 'if he is still in the building' (which he was not)

As she then remarked ... 'Ben DOES get a reaction!' ... so funny ...

Love him or loathe him (and I know which one I do ... ) everyone does seem to notice him ...

Who's Catherine? Do you mean Kate?
Ben talked about his association with William in the house, he said he used to nod at him sometimes while passing!
Not sure why people would be jealous of that
