Celebrity Wife Swap: Pete Burns v Neil "Razor" Ruddock


Pete Burns
Recently married Pete Burns and his husband, Michael Simpson, swapped places with the hard man of football, the notorious Neil "Razor" Ruddock and his partner, ex-page three glamour girl Leah Newman.

Pete's used to being looked after by Michael who spends all his time keeping Pete happy.

They spend all day every day together, with Michael acting as Pete's manager as well as taking care of the flat.

There are no traditional roles in their relationship. "We are completely unconventional," says Pete.

"I am creative, spontaneous and utterly myself. My world starts with me - no one tells me what to do."

Leah Newman
When Leah goes into Pete's house, she's thrilled at the thought of being waited on like Pete Burns, and being a man-woman.

Within her own house, she is mother and wife. Razor believes in traditional roles – he brings in the money whilst Leah cares for him and her daughter.

But the swap proves more difficult than she thought.

Not only as she tries to stop Michael doing the housework, but in regaining the confidence that she's lost, since having her beloved daughter.
