Stepping in: Gethin Jones

Jones, 30, who was a semi-finalist last year, went behind the scenes of the competition last week to give his views on the show, but let his true feelings be known after drinking several mojitos.

He told one student: "The old guy John is brilliant and should keep on going to win. Rachel Stevens is the fittest on the show by far, but she is really dull."
