You don’t have to be very interested in keeping fit to have heard of Zumba, the new dance exercise craze – it’s everywhere!

The cover of the book describes you as England’s most controversial captain, I suspect Douglas Jardine might have something to say about that, is that an accurate reflection?
Back in 1932 Jardine was top of the pops, I find it difficult to comprehend that I am up there with him. He is very much my hero; what he did stands out head and shoulders above any other England captain. So to be compared in any way to him is good enough for me.

Our new programme for thelatest.tv sees Juice FM presenter Guy Lloyd investigate all manner of things. He starts off with chart-topping band The Hoosiers who were mega-successful a couple of years ago, were dropped by their major label and have become fashionably independent. Their chart-topping album cost £1 million to record, their new album £100 and we reckon it's just as good. We have exclusive footage of this new record. Guy does crazy-golfing with them, checks out their sound-check and witnesses the fans' adoration of the band at Audio in Brighton. In future shows Guy will be doing waxing, Dot Cotton, air guitar and needs your suggestions for more crazy things (or people) to do. Send to bill@thelatest.co.uk
