As part of her comical election campaign, she promised free breast implants, more nudist beaches, and a ban on parking tickets. In the end, Jordan won 713 votes, 1.8% of the votes cast. Jordan began 2004 by appearing (as Katie Price which she prefers to be known while not modeling) on the reality TV series I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!, alternately falling out with John Lydon and flirting in the jungle with singer Peter Andre whom she eventually married. She appeared in several Bushtucker trials, including one where she had to brave a tank full of small, harmless jellyfish for points.

Cameron has been an undercover investigator with HM Customs and SOCA (Serious organised Crime Agency) for the past fifteen years. His new book is 'The Interceptor' and is on our website
Among the heartbreaking tragedies created by the 7/7 London bombings, Jullie Nicholson's stood out.

The Boland Show Thursday 1st July Guest List:
OK ladies, last week The Boland Show gave you David Essex…Had enough time to recuperate??? Now it’s the turn of, wait for it, The lounge Lizard himself Mr Bryan Ferry, smoother than silk, smoother than satin, yes, and even smoother than Maurice himself!!! Ferry. came to public prominence in the early 70's as lead vocalist and principal songwriter for Roxy Music, which enjoyed a highly successful career with three number one albums and ten singles entering the top ten in the u.k. .He continues to have a successful solo career and he coming this way for a private appearance so the only chance you have to hear him ladies is on tomorrow morning’s Boland Show!!!
The oil that's flooded into the Gulf of Mexico has created big concerns about the environmental and economic damage. Another serious outcome has gotten far less attention: Peak Oil. By prompting President Obama to suspend deep water drilling in US offshore waters, the Gulf oil spill is pushing up the date at which the world's conventional oil production peaks. If other nations with offshore oil output also stop exploration and drilling it could speed the arrival of peak oil at a more alarming rate. Maurice’s next guest Dr. Richard Miller is a London consulting geologist who up until 2008 worked for BP preparing private reports on prospects for peak oil.
Next up is Danute Kean. According to Danuta , a casual contempt for men, especially fathers, has crept into much that is pumped out of our TV sets. It's there in TV comedies - from the character of the feckless father Frank in Shameless to Ben, the plain stupid dentist dad in My Family and even Pete Brockman, the ineffectual man of the house in Outnumbered. Danuta is an award winning journalist and publishing commentator. She is also a well respected investigative journalist and has uncovered stories as diverse as the truth about prostitute memoirs and hidden racism in publishing.
Were not sure that Maurice’s final guest would have a chance dating Bryan Ferry but you never know!! Donna Simpson already weighs 43 stone but she is determined to nearly double her size to become the world's fattest woman. The 42 year old will be speaking to Maurice from New Jersey, U:S is set on reaching the 1,000lb mark in just two years. Remarkably she insists she is healthy, despite now needing a mobility scooter when she goes shopping.

The Boland Show Guest list Wednesday 16th June: For all David Essex fans this is your day. David Essex, 1970's pop icon and heart throb has had an extremely colourful life. He has sold millions of records, topped the charts with songs such as 'Gonna Make You a Star' and Hold Me Close'. His films such as 'That'll Be the Day’ were box office hits as was his appearance in the lead role in the musical Godspell. There was even a time known as Essexmania where after one double performance at the Liverpool Empire, the first house of 3,000 people refused to leave. David is still able to sell out a 50 date tour without advertising which is an amazing compliment. He is now starring in his latest West End musical titled ' All The Fun of the Fair' which is about the darker side of the travelling fairground life.
The findings of The Bloody Sunday Inquiry, also known as the Saville Inquiry or the Saville Report were published on Tuesday. The inquiry was established in 1998 by Tony Blair after campaigns for a second inquiry by families of those killed and injured in Derry in 1972. Prime Minister David Cameron addressed the House of Commons on Tuesday where he acknowledged, amongst other things, that British paratroopers had shot and killed already wounded civilians and apologised on behalf of the British Government. Boland’s next guest Thomas Bartlett is a journalist and author of such books as 'Ireland a history' and 'The Rise and fall of the Irish Nation'.
Earlier this week Barack Obama risked the wrath of September 11th victim's families by comparing the BP oil spill to the 2001 terrorist attacks, as pressure intensified on the White House to show greater urgency over the crisis. Many people who lost relatives in the attacks criticised Obama's decision to compare an environmental disaster with a terror plot in which almost 3,000 people died. One such person is Maurice’s next guest Joy Bennett whose son Oli, a 29 year old financial journalist died in the atrocity and who says that it is an unfair parallel and is really a cruel thing to say. Since Oli's death, as a tribute to him, his family and friends have created the charity www.olibennett.org.uk to help young people from all backgrounds get their business ideas off the ground.
And finally: From September, GCSE pupils will study the words of the singer and television presenter Charlotte Church as part of their English course. The way in which the singer speaks will be analysed by pupils in the subject normally associated more with Shakespeare and Jane Austen. They will also be looking at the words of Gavin and Stacey star Ruth Jones and BBC newsreader Huw Edwards for their English qualifications. Maurice’s final guest Marie Clair is the spokeswoman for Plain English Campaign and says that the focus on celebrities is damaging students chances of employment.

The Boland Guest list Tuesday 15th June…Have you been watching the world cup, bit like asking was the pope catholic!!! Have you heard that incredible high pitch noise that fills the stadiums at every game. Can you imagine how that must sound non stop for 90 minuets? Well it all come from an innocent trumpet are the controversial Vuvuzela horns and could be banned from World Cup following thousands of complaints from fans, broadcasters and the players. South Africa's World Cup organising chief Danny Jordaan revealed his officials had been swamped by protests about the ear-bursting horns being blown during matches. But World Cup communications chief Rich Mkhondo today appeared to contradict his boss, insisting the plastic horns were here to stay. He said: 'As our guests please embrace our culture, please embrace the way we celebrate. The history of the Vuvuzela is ingrained in South Africa. 'We have modified the mouthpiece, there is now a new Vuvuzela which will blow noise that is 20 decibels less than the old one, Said Boland’s first guest Neil van Schalkwyk, a partner at Masincedane Sport, who manufactures the trumpet. Oh for some peace and quite!!!!!
Next up is Pilar Rahola i Martínez is a Spanish Catalan journalist, writer, and former politician and MP.. She has published several books in Spanish and Catalan, and she is a columnist at La Vanguardia in Spain; La Nación in Argentina; and Diario de América in the United States. She appears frequently on television and has taken part in several university lectures. She comes from a republican and anti-fascist family, and several of her relatives have been politicians or writers. As a politician, she was the only member of Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya in Spanish Congress of Deputies in the 5th and 6th Spanish legislatures, and vice-mayor of Barcelona.
Are men big babies when it come to not feeling well? Scientists have confirmed that Man flu does exist and that men are often not as ill as they say they are. Half of men will upgrade a common cold to flu and describe headaches as a migraine to gain maximum sympathy. They will also moan more than women when suffering a bug or virus. Maurice’s guest Karl Elliott is from ' of friendly society Engage Mutual' who commissioned the research. Tuttems !!!!
And finally: Maurice personally requested this guest because as a lot of his listeners know he adores chocolate, cakes, biscuits etc and has been struggling to quit so he can look good in his Speedos this summer ( the thought!!!!). No matter how steely your willpower, or how firm your resolve, the sudden urge for a bar of chocolate or a bag of crisps can be all consuming. For many people, particularly women and Maurice, food cravings are like an alien force that will stop at nothing until you indulge their fiendishly unhealthy demands , his final guest Penny Kendall-Reed is the author of The No Crave Diet.

The Boland Guest List Wednesday 9th June: When Maurice first read the story about his guest Cynthia Owan, he made two observations 1. He had NEVER read a more upsetting story in his 20 years of broadcasting and 2. He believed that he could never tell it on daytime radio. Can you imagine his shock when he saw Cynthia Owen was his first guest on his Wednesday morning show? Owen grew up in Ireland, the child of two alcoholics, when she was about eight years old, her mother told her to start sleeping in the marital bed. That night when her father came back from the pub, he climbed in beside her and raped her. This continued night after night, often with her mother sleeping in a single bed in the same room. Rapes followed to include her own mother aunty and uncle eventually her mother used her to make money out of filthy pedophiles!!!. Shortly before her eleventh birthday she was made pregnant by her FATHER. Minutes after giving birth to the baby, Cynthia watched in horror as her own mother murdered the tiny infant, by repeatedly stabbing her the face with a knitting needle, believe it or not the baby continued breathing so as the baby was still alive she put her in the gas oven until she stopped. Cynthia’s mother then wrapped the baby girl in a plastic bag, dumped her in an alleyway and made her daughter go back to school and pretend nothing had ever happened. As you can see this is a very very upsetting story so please be warned in advance if you would rather not to listen to the interview.

The euro will break up within five years, according to a survey of leading economists. The dire state of the public finances of Greece and other eurozone members such as Portugal, Spain, Italy and Ireland have driven the single currency to a four year low against the dollar and cast doubts over its future. Boland’s next guest Andrew Lilico, chief economist of the Policy Exchange think tank, says there was nearly zero chance of the euro surviving.

Being a Wednesday it Enterprise where Maurice introduces hugely successful entrepreneurs. First being Kurt Strand who is the Founder of the Swedish company Strand Craft. The company wanted to build something unique for the 'very wealthy' so they built a 17 million pound yacht which is so exclusive that they are only making six models and have already attracted five possible buyers in the first week of it being on the market. The yacht has a very futuristic design with its matching super car which comes free with the boat and its bullet proof windows.

And Finally Stephen Less who is 67, has been running nightclubs and helping other club and restaurant owners to improve their bottom line for several decades. He now runs the six-strong London chain of table dancing clubs, Secrets, which makes undisclosed profits and has even opened an establishment in Covent Garden. Stephen travels frequently around the U.K and abroad to monitor other clubs and potential sites for his business… Less has thousands of stunning girls working in his Secrets Clubs for him so Boland should enjoy this one..

The Boland Show Guest List Tuesday 8th June: First up is one of the worlds foremost rock keyboard musicians Rick Wakeman, best know as the keyboard front man in the progressive rock band Yes. He is considered by many to be one of the best rock keyboardists of all time. He is known now for his TV appearances on Grumpy old Men and Countdown as well as his hugely popular Saturday morning radio show on Planet Rock.
Next up is the amazing story of Zoya Phan who was born in the remote jungles of Burma, to the Karen ethnic group. For decades the Karen have been under attack from Burma's military junta. Zoya's mother was a guerrilla soldier, her father a freedom activist. At the age of 14 her childhood was shattered as the Burmese army attacked and with their house in flames, Zoya and her family fled. So began two terrible years of running from guns as she joined thousands of refugees hiding in the jungle. Zoya now lives in London and works for the human rights organization Burma Campaign.
Maurice is looking forward to this one: 'Prince Charles is a 'Fruitcake' who abuses his power by using his birthright to further his own beliefs and causes, a conference has heard. The heir to the throne was also branded an 'old fogey' at a conference of the anti-monarchy group Republic. Charles's complicated psychology and obsessive compulsive tendencies formed much of the discussion headlined ' An activist king?' Graham Smith is from the pressure group Republic which supports a republican constitution in place of the monarchy. Boland loves the Royal family so this should be fun.
And finally: As commercial whaling looks set to start again after 24 years, award winning author Philip Hoare gives a heartfelt plea and says ' if whales could scream, no man could tolerate their slaughter'. The more we learn abut the whales that roam our ocean depths, the more marvelous and complex these creatures are shown to be. Which is what makes it such a travesty that nearly 25 years after we said good bye to commercial whaling, it looks set to start again. Philip is the author of six books, the most recent being ' Leviathan or, The Whale, winner of the 2009 BBC Samuel Johnson Prize. It charts his lifelong obsession with whales

The Boland Show Tuesday 1st June: Tuesdays show promises to be something very special when you see that the guest list includes an Archbishop of Canterbury, a rape victim, a diplomats wife and an expert on the must-have-pet, a Meerkat !!!!
First up is the former Archbishop of Canterbury George Cary. Carey was Archbishop of Canterbury from 1991 to 2002. He was the first modern holder not to have attended Oxford or Cambridge University. His time as archbishop saw the Church of England allow the ordination of Women priests and a rising debate over attitudes to homosexuality at the Lambeth Conference of 1998. WOW Boland and the Archbishop makes for interesting stuff!!!
Next up Maurine Gibbon: The Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition has proposed a ban on the identification of men accused of rape. Which means that most men arrested on suspicion of rape will never be named because the vast majority never get to court. Unless 94% of women are lying, then there are a shed load of guilty men getting away with rape, including those who are reported to the police. Critically acclaimed author, Boland’s guest Maureen Gibbon was raped when she was sixteen. Nothing could take away her pain. Until she decided to go and visit rapists in jail so that she could try and come to terms with what happened to her. Her book ' Thief' is based on her experience.
The Foreign Office won't like it and her husband isn't too keen either but, after 25 years travelling from embassy to embassy and hellhole to hellhole, Maurice’s guest Cherry Denman, a diplomats wife, reveals the riotous truth about their perilous postings. Her book is Diplomatic Incidents: The Memoirs of An (Un) Diplomatic Wife.
Finally: Thanks to one of the most brilliant TV campaigns, the Meerkat is now a must-have pet. But behind the cute image lies shocking cruelty and exploitation. This oddly compelling creation - a smoking, jacket-wearing puppet with a Russian accent has more than 720,000 friends on Facebook and the the advert has been watched more than half a million times on Youtube. Now, some of these fans have decided to take their enthusiasm for Aliksandr Orlov to the next level by buying a Meerkat - even though the RSPCA says the creatures are wholly unsuited to being kept as domestic pets. Craig Redmond is from the Captive Animals Protection Society.
