It's true ! Channel hopping late tonight I thought I had walked into a nightmare when I flicked to ITV 1 when suddenly there were Shreque's grotesque features screeching at me from the screen.
At first I thought I must have gone to Freeview 22 by mistake , but no-Ideal World was transmitting VT on ITV.
Within seconds Vol au vent was there with his autopilot mobile phone presentation .

The whole experience has upset my body clock and I feel I need counselling.
