New Chelsea manager's wife drank her own urine live on TV
Last updated at 17:07pm on 23.09.07Stepping in to replace Jose Mourinho, Avram Grant declared: "I'm not special, just normal."
But in one respect the new Chelsea manager looks set to put the self-proclaimed "Special One" in the shade.
For while Mourinho's wife Tami preferred to stay quietly out of the limelight during her husband's three-year tenure, actress and TV presenter Tzofit Grant is looking to make a splash on London's social scene.

Indeed, her flamboyant dress style, and risque sense of humour have already drawn comparisons with another well known WAG – Nancy Dell'Olio.
Like Sven-Goran Eriksson's long-term partner, she is no stranger to controversy – the 43-year-old brunette once drank her own urine on her television show.
The mother-of-three, who is renowned in her native Israel as the glamorous half of the Grants, raised eyebrows when she failed to follow her 52-year-old husband to England 15 months ago when he became technical director at Portsmouth FC.
She claimed she preferred to stay in Israel to further her career on TV. But Milkshake, the show she fronted, was cancelled following poor ratings.

Since then she has starred in a film, Bittersweet, as a wife suffering marital problems.
Tzofit, who grew up in Petah Tikvah, a suburb of Tel Aviv where Grant began his coaching career, is expected to join her husband in London shortly, along with their children Daniel, 13 and Romi, ten.
And she has told friends she intends to continue her career as an actress here.
Milkshake viewers warmed to her vivacious personality and glamorous appearance, and her popularity increased when she interviewed a health expert who advised her to drink her own urine. She happily obliged.
Her job also required her to take a bath in melted chocolate in an effort to improve her skin.

Normal: Avram Grant succeeds the 'Special One' Mourinho
Recently, she hit the headlines as a patron of the Israel Mental Health Association, after admitting she had problems dealing with her older brother Amiram's schizophrenia.
By contrast, Tami Mourinho, 41, has been content to take a back seat and only hit the headlines when she attacked the WAGs for their lack of class and dress sense, and obsession with money.
No doubt she will be keeping a close eye on the antics of her successor.
