The girls team suffered a bit of a setback during their task this week as they were left stranded while their driver was arrested.

Their driver was parked on a London road, waiting for the girls when the police stopped to ask what he was doing. He had been warned to reveal details of the show to noone, so he refused to tell the police who he was waiting for.

When the police searched his car and found numerous ladies handbags they arrested him for theft.

A show producer said: “As soon as the police saw the pile of bags which he wouldn’t explain he was taken to a police station and quizzed for three hours before he was eventually set free.

“By that time the girl contestants were stranded - and decided it must be part of their task.”

The source added: Drivers are given strict instructions not to reveal their involvement with the programme to anyone.

“It seems this driver just followed that to the letter, even when faced with a night behind bars.”

I hope he got a big bonus to make up for his embarrassment and inconvenience!
