While I wish the stunning and clearly energetic TV presenter every happiness and success with her no-strings-attached polyamorous set-up, I have to admit her inventive, and I’d imagine exhaustive ‘system’ of juggling five lovers, (placing each one on ‘rotation’), would never work for me.

Why? Because it’d be worse than doing hard labour, that’s why!

As far as I’m concerned folks, having one man slumped on the sofa, washing and folding one man’s underpants and socks, scraping one man’s beard stubble out of the bathroom sink, and coping with one man’s snoring is about as much as my nerves can take!
