Carol was in the studio for a change and presenting her usual segment in the vicinity of hosts Ben and Sally Nugent – but unfortunately she didn't have good news to deliver.

He swore: “No-one will see those pictures, ever!” Carol snapped back: “That’s what you think, Ben!” as Sally retorted: “We’ve got them all, haven’t we?” “We have, they might be published,” Carol cheekily threatened.
