Always seemed to be scurrilous rumours about the sexuality of Val Singleton and Lesley Judd, personally I only had eyes for Jenny Hanley on t'other side.

As a 13-14 Year Old I can assure you it wasn't the quality of the Show I was interested in...

Rio later explained it was passing joke, which someone in the media twisted into news.
