    He used to be very good at the chin ups. I think he then went on the Live Mike or something like that and broke the world record for chin ups in a minute.

    BBC tried it a few years ago with Johnny Vaughan and the lovely Suzi Perry presenting. It was all retired sports stars though, didn't have the same edge to it. I'd imagine the insurance costs alone would scupper using most current sports people.
