The irrepressible presenter heads for the Italian Riviera, meeting up with nouveau-riche Russians and viewing the last word in tasteless decor in a £15 million three-bedroom house. In Italy, he dons body armour for lessons in gladiatorial combat and joins the judge's panel for a beauty contest - consisting of 'mature' ladies - before ending his jaunt in the company of the police.
