On yesterday's B&W show, Nicky was the guest and it was claimed that Simon couldn't do it because he was ill. Yet last month he suggested that Julia and Nicky would be doing things together in July. When he made his comment Julia sharply told him that he wasn't supposed to say anything and it almost looks as though he knew he wouldn't be doing the shows. Is it simply coincidence or is there more going on here than meets the eye?
