What is massively predictable is that my brother loses his mind when Mischa turns up to assist her boss.

‘Gaah,’ he says, as he spots her pull up in her Mini. ‘I didn’t know she was coming today.’

‘Neither did I.’ This could be disastrous. Dan has to be on camera today as much as me, and he’ll have enough problems doing that without being stared at by the object of his affections. ‘Will you be able to do this?’ I say to him as I watch the small BBC crew and Gerard make their final preparations for the live show. It kicks off in ten minutes, and the last thing I need is Dan having a libido-induced breakdown, thanks to the presence of five feet and ten inches of lusty Eastern European female sexuality.

He looks away from where Mischa is sashaying over to her boss. It shouldn’t be possible to look sexy in a parka and walking boots, but she manages it anyway. ‘I’ll be fine,’ Danny tells me, face resolute.

I’ll have to take his word for it, I suppose. ‘Good. I need you with me on this.’

‘You nervous?’

‘Aren’t you?’

‘Oh, well of course I am, but then I’m me. You’re a lot stronger when it comes to this kind of stuff than I am.’

‘Thanks, Danny,’ I say, quite touched.’

He smiles. ‘No worries, sis.’

A few minutes later Gerard approaches us, rubbing his hands together. ‘Okay then. We’re just about ready to do this. Let’s get you all in a suitable position to open the show with.’ He shuffles us back a bit, so we’re both standing by the new front door of the house. ‘This’ll do fine. I’ll do my intro up the path near the front, then I’ll walk backwards to you and we’ll get going with the interview. That all sound good?’

Danny nods erratically.

I go, ‘Meep.’

Gerard puts a hand on my shoulder. ‘Honestly, Hayley, you’ll do great.’

My turn to nod erratically.

Gerard moves away from us back up the garden path, and I grasp hold of my brother’s hand tightly.

‘Good luck, sis,’ he says to me, his own hand tightening a bit.

‘Yeah, you too,’ I reply, wishing I was anywhere else in the world right now than here. I close my eyes, take a deep breath and try to compose myself.
