No pants for Dickie...

Simon writes: So it appears that Richard Madeley is no longer a fan of underwear and "goes commando" as regularly as Ross Kemp in Afghanistan. Apparently briefs make him "incredibly hot" around the pants region. Never mind that Richard - just imagine what effect you are having on the temperature of the nation's housewives with that revelation?!

Preferring the "the freedom and feel of air" there are number of suggestions we can make to Mr Madeley - our buyers recommend a pair of Canterbury Coolers which while providing a snug fit also have an open fly to let the air circulate. Me? I'd suggest going for a loose fitting boxer short from Fruit of the Loom.

But not wearing pants at all?  That's not an option. I mean, we saw what happened to Judy when she popped out - let's save the nation from the male equivalent...
