Well if it's true that she thought Africa is a country, then she's obviously a bit thick......he might have fared better with Jane Goody by his side, she thought Scotland was a town in Wales or summat didnt she?

Jane....Jade....wo'eva innit 'ey?

Actually, I've just remembered the poor lass has cancer, so I hereby take back any nasty things I've said about her.

I just dont want to be mean about anyone who's been that ill. Not nice.

Mind you, they all make daft gaffes once in a while, George W Bush being the king of them all!
