  • no air date1m

Freddie Starr captivated the nation in the 70s and 80s with his zany humour. After becoming infamous for his hell-raising hamster-eating exploits, Freddie has now settled down to a traditional life with his third wife Donna.

While Freddie gigs, Donna is in control of the home and three children, sleeping for only a few hours each night as she tries to fit in her endless chores. Freddie firmly believes that the working man needs to be looked after, and his doting wife Donna is happy to oblige.

In contrast, Sam Fox and her partner Myra Stratton devote all of their time to each other, happy sharing both their work and home commitments. Sam has a rigorous exercise regime, focused on keeping her in the spotlight.

Sam might be the star on stage but at home she is more likely to be found preparing a dinner party for friends, while Myra is busy managing the hectic international schedule of her other half.

How will Sam cope left holding the baby while Freddie waits for his tea to be delivered to his armchair, and what will Donna think when she steps into Sam's shoes, experiencing a life without children and chores?

Eighties pop star Sinitta exchanges lives with the wife of Coronation Street star Bruce Jones, aka Les Battersby.

Sinitta juggles her two small children with a busy career in the media, regular trips to the stylist, a healthy diet and a gruelling fitness regime. Meanwhile, Bruce enjoys lazy days in front of the TV and likes nothing more than spending his days - and nights - drinking in the local pub.

How does Sinitta cope with being a traditional housewife and running around after Bruce? And what happens when she bans Les from smoking and going to the pub?

In this Celebrity Wife Swap, TV wine and food critic Jilly Goolden exchanges lives with Cynthia O'Neal, wife of 80s superstar Alexander O'Neal.

Soul legend Alexander O'Neal hit superstardom in the 1980s with chart topping hits Fake and Criticize. Twenty years on and Alex plays to a smaller audience of loyal fans. Support these days comes in the form of loyal wife Cynthia, an ex-choreographer dedicated to looking after his every need.

TV wine and food critic Jilly Goolden is one of the UK's best known food and wine critics. Renowned for her forthright opinions, she's been voted one of Radio Times most eccentric personalities of all time. Home life with husband Paul in a sleepy rustic part of Sussex is rather more conservative.

Prepare for some big surprises in this Celebrity Wife Swap as both sides undergo genuine changes.
