Celebrity Mark Wright wanders into Successville this week to help DI Sleet crack another crime. As ever, poor old Mark has no idea what's happening and has no script to work from. The Towie star-turned-radio DJ just has to be game for a laugh and willing to play along with a relatively straight face.

Sleet and his new recruit get to know one another with some chat about their various approaches to lovemaking, with Sleet saying after he's "laid down some sex" he likes to issue feedback forms. He asks Wright to explain some adventurous positions, and the poor man can't help but break character and giggle. Then the "sexual warriors" go off to track down a drug dealer, with help from local grass Daniel Radcliffe. And when they try to interrogate a crook he sneers, in a wild Scottish accent: "Ah've had a mair thorough grilling than that aff a set of fairy lights!"
