The programme where celebrities trade places returns. In tonight's episode, TV wine and food critic Jilly Goolden (pictured) exchanges lives with Cynthia O'Neal, wife of 1980s US soul singer Alexander O'Neal (pictured). Jilly and Cynthia are about to swap lives to learn more about themselves, and each other.
Cynthia met Alexander when she auditioned as his backing singer 19 years ago. O'Neal hit super stardom in the 1980s with chart-topping hits Fake and Criticize. First discovered by Prince, he was the only performer to sell out six consecutive nights at Wembley arena. Today he performs to a smaller audience of loyal fans. Support now comes in the form of loyal wife Cynthia, an ex-choreographer who is dedicated to looking after the singer's every need.
Alexander is the star of the relationship and prone to diva strops if things aren't done his way.
Jilly Goolden is one of the UK's best known food and wine critics. Renowned for her forthright opinions on TV, she's been voted one of Radio Times's most eccentric personalities of all time. She married Paul, a government manager, 23 years ago. Today they live a country-house existence, complete with farm animals, in a sleepy rustic part of Sussex. Life revolves around workaholic Jilly's busy schedule, and when her husband Paul isn't cooking up elaborate meals they occasionally let their hair down with a game of ping-pong or a post-dinner book review.
What happens when an soul superstar has to play house-husband? How does the American wife of a soul singer cope living with an English gent? And what happens when a demanding husband meets his match?
