Esther’s out of the Westminster frying pan and into the Ice and Fire
You can’t keep a good woman down.
Fresh from crushing election defeat, TV presenter Esther Rantzen is to entertain passengers on Swan Hellenic’s no-fly Sagas of Ice and Fire on its ship Minerva.
The ChildLine launcher best known for her consumer show That’s Life will give after dinner talks about her life and times in the spotlight.
Miss Rantzen says she is a self-confessed cruisaholic and signed up with Swan Hellenic because of its informative talks on board.
Much as Mole fondly recalls those sausage-uttering dogs and disconcertingly-shaped vegetables of telly legend, it rather thinks it would prefer the talks given by the TV star’s colleague speaker Dr Peter Cattermole, an eminent volcanologist who will be explaining the causes and long term effects of the eruption of Eyjfjallajökull.
