Evening all! You can count on one Englishman to provide some actual entertainment this Sunday… We’re back in Germany with the lads for tonight’s episode, taking on a steak challenge which has only been beaten twice in seven whole years! I hope you enjoy it…but if you don’t…worry not…the crew won’t be back for the next month or so. Next week I’m in Iceland with Sister Beard in tow…so I hope I’ll see you then! Big cuddles, BMF :)
