Room 101: Matthew Tait – Leicester full-back

1. Wasting food
I get really annoyed when my wife orders online shopping and then five days later half of it is still there in the fridge going off. I’m not someone who likes to eat food that has gone past its ‘use by’ date, so it ends up being thrown out which drives me insane. It’s both the principle and the fact that money is effectively being poured down the drain that gets to me.
TRP verdict: It’s a rotten choice but good nonetheless. You’re in.
2. Katie Price
She fronts up the genre of women who are just desperate to be in these glamour/lifestyle magazines the whole time for no reason other than to be famous. I really don’t understand why people like this want to profit from selling their story about some bloke cheating on them. Surely they should have some dignity and keep their private lives’ private. Maybe I was just born in the wrong century.
TRP verdict: Another model answer.
3. Splash!
Ordinarily I would nominate people with bad manners, because manners cost nothing, as my parents used to say. However I think that’s been done before, so I’m going to go for Splash! – the TV show. I can’t believe it got a second series… what a ridiculous programme. I can see the point of celebrity dancing, because people can genuinely get better at that, but diving? I can’t see how after three weeks of jumping off a diving board you are going to go from bombing to triple somersaults and all the rest of it. How they pad the show out for an hour is beyond me, too, you could probably fit the content into five minutes. Then you’ve got Jo Brand as a judge. Give me strength! I can’t imagine she’s had an awful lot of diving experience. While you’re at it, you can throw in Tumble, the ‘celebrity’ gymnastics show. What’s going to be next…Darts-factor?
TRP verdict: Take a bow not a dive, you’ve achieved a clean sweep.
