This week Nikki got brushed up to talk to
Ben Price, who plays Conrad Gates in Footballers' Wives.
It's not a part for a bashful actor. '[Conrad] spends most of his time with
his clothes off,' Ben admits. 'There's a lot of my bum in the programme –
sometimes a bit too much. My mum comments on it sometimes.'
But does Ben like Conrad's taste in clothes – when he's wearing any? 'No,
not at all,' he says. 'The costume designer picks them for me because I just
can't bear to pick them. I don't know how anyone would ever wear those clothes.'
What about his complicated love-life, with two women and a man on the go? 'Well,
that wouldn't be my idea,' Ben says, laughing. 'I'm married and I just couldn't
keep up with it all. I don't really agree too much with his social politics.
I don't know how he does it! I don't know how they put up with him! I don't
know why they just don't throw him out. But the girls and the boy seem to like
him.'
Sadly, Conrad's days in the show are numbered. 'This is the end of Conrad Gates,'
Ben says. 'I will hang the hair up and the suits, leave my wives and walk off
into the distance. I think I've done as much as I can do.'
Appropriately enough, however, Conrad will go out with a bang. 'The way I go
from the programme is pretty explosive,' Ben confides – but he wouldn't
reveal any more. Not really like Conrad at all then.
For more about the series, check out the official Footballers'
Wives website.
