I really loathe those programmes that pit the contestants against each other, exclude one contestant each week and finally made a big, loud and painfully slow announcement at the very end. It is feels nasty.

Gareth Russell is the author of four works of non-fiction, including the critically-acclaimed biography of Queen Catherine Howard, "Young and Damned and Fair", and two novels set in his native Belfast.
What a cock up.
