Monkey was intrigued by a press release heralding new research which claimed to be able to predict the results of reality TV shows such as Strictly Come Dancing. Being an old cynic, Monkey ignored it before stumbling on it again today and realising that it had actually accurately predicted Jodie Kidd's exit from the BBC1 dancing reality show last Sunday. Ingenious! So, in the interests of fairness, Monkey thought it was only right to publish its other predictions, just in case, you know, they come true. Research agency Conquest says it has been using a new technique called Metaphorix which measures how people really feel about a situation rather than what they tell pollsters. Stay awake at the back! Anyway, it forecasts that actor Tom Chambers will win the contest - he's in Holby City - with Rachel Stevens runner-up. It also said that had John Sergeant remained, he would have slugged it out for a further three weeks before being eliminated after Lisa Snowdon and Austin Healey. Metaphorix or a load of Metabollix?
