"She's had a difficult life with the paparazzi," Gavin says, "we're good for each other, it's really good. She'd love to [get married] . maybe we will then.

"I hope she'll ask me, but I suppose I'd better do it .. we'd love a family together."

He also reveals his pre-match prepping includes "two hours to get ready: hot bath, shave my legs and face [waxing? "No, I can't do that!"], moisturise, put fake tan on and do my hair .. which takes a bit of time .

"I need my fellow players to say I'm looking good, I need it for my confidence, it gives you a boost .

He reveals his strange taste in food: "Caterpillars are good, big ones, I recommend them - they taste like twiglets."

And one of the weirdest locations he ha's visited: "A cave, 30 years ago, one of the most disgusting places. There was a shimmering curtain at the end, a mountain of bat droppings covered in a solid carpet of cockroaches, eating it."

Sir David also talks about his views on religion and evolution: "The complexity of the natural world exists because of organic evolution. I find this much more profoundly moving than a story about the first woman and man .. in my view that is a myth."

Jonathan also welcomes to the show punk pop princess Pink who talks about turning down royalty when she didn't perform at Prince William's 21st birthday party.

She says: "I'd heard he was publicising a hunting trip in Africa and I found that very offensive. I am unconditionally an animal lover. I heard his father was going to write me a letter but I'm still waiting."

She also performs her new single Stupid Girls live in the studio.
