(imagine music) di di-di dee di-di-di di dee……..
Saturday
Gethin did his final stint in charge of Eamonn Holmes’ show, and it was a fun programme, with an opportunity to have a look (and try to borrow) Cassie Patten's Olympic Bronze medal. Geth spoke to her Auntie Lesley, who apparently fancies him……..well what else is new!
Nick Knowles was on - wearing Welsh tartan trousers apparently……….hmmmmmm - best not go there!
Oh yes, and in the interests of quoted Chris Hoy accurately, Gethin - EX-Blue Peter presenter - used the word 'arse' 3 times!
THEN we had the National Lottery awards - to be honest (sorry, Ben - Shepherd that is) it was all a little bit boring, then it was Geth‘s turn………..oh my……did a little stumble, made a big joke of it. Loved Jenni Falconer’s comment ‘I thought you were looking so smooth until you did that’. I have to say I thought it just showed a total professional, who has a talent for comedic one-liners….but he must have been mortified!
The outfit of good black suit (Gethin Jones, you need another good suit!!) white shirt and NO TIE caused a controversy in GG land that hasn’t been seen since ‘coat wars’ at New Year!
Personal view - for this is my column - was that he looked great, as usual!

Sunday
Gethin must have been hoping the previous night’s slip had passed by unnoticed………nooooooooooooooooooo! Right from the off he got two hours of non-stop mickey-taking from guests and even a Washington correspondent. Hilarious!!! Even though he threatened to go home at one point, Gethin bore it all manfully.
Biddy Baxter was on (wonder if her new book has MY letter in it?) and was frankly somewhat tedious and expressed an opinion not shared by Geth’s Girls, that Blue Peter is hard to watch for adults - errrr - not when Jonesy was on it wasn’t!
Monday
……………..did I mention I hate Mondays?
Well, not so much this one. We found out that ‘Glamour’ Magazine featured the lovely Mr Jones - even more lovely because the GGs got yet another mention (hoorah!), even if the fact we know more about him than he does came under the category of ‘scary’…….and for the record, it was not me who wrote in asking for his socks.

Tuesday
Nothing in the trashy mags - but the Radio Times lists him as being part of the ‘Rest of the World’ team on SoccerAid 2008, Sunday 7th September 6-10pm.
Wednesday
Hoping for a glimpse of Geth on the Soccer Aid programme tonight at 10.35 - and there he was (see pic at top) looking very FIT! 'Gethin's Good' say Ant & Dec - oh yes we know!

"The rest of the world team is a wounded beast and they want to get their revenge"
Gethin Jones
Friday
Jonesy gets quoted in this BBC articleJones said: "You learn the lesson that when people ask if you are any good at football you say, 'not really' and they're pleasantly surprised.
"When you are playing with world class players, they actually make you look good because you can ping the ball anywhere near them and they'll make it look like a good pass."
