Celebrity Wife Swap

Jilly Goolden and Alexander O'Neal

Jilly and Alexander

In this Celebrity Wife Swap, TV wine and food critic Jilly Goolden exchanges lives with Cynthia O'Neal, wife of 80s superstar Alexander O'Neal.

Soul legend Alexander O'Neal hit superstardom in the 1980s with chart topping hits Fake and Criticize. Twenty years on and Alex plays to a smaller audience of loyal fans. Support these days comes in the form of loyal wife Cynthia, an ex-choreographer dedicated to looking after his every need.

TV wine and food critic Jilly Goolden is one of the UK's best known food and wine critics. Renowned for her forthright opinions, she's been voted one of Radio Times most eccentric personalities of all time. Home life with husband Paul in a sleepy rustic part of Sussex is rather more conservative.

Prepare for some big surprises in this Celebrity Wife Swap as both sides undergo genuine changes.
