Goody and Ingram's celebrity swap
Jade Goody and Charles Ingram
Goody and Ingram ended up in harmony
Former Big Brother star Jade Goody has told of her experience spending a week with disgraced ex-army Major Charles Ingram for a reality TV show.

The two unlikely associates were put together for a celebrity edition of Channel 4's hit show Wife Swap.

Goody, who made her name in the third series of Big Brother, admitted she did not always get on with Ingram - quiz show cheat and convicted fraudster.

She told Radio Times: "At first I didn't like him one bit."

Goody added: "He was very irritating, very controlling, and he kept talking about how he did a lot round the house, but he never did anything to help me.

"After about four days, me and Charles had a big run-in, but that sort of cleared the air."

Cough

In turn, Ingram said living with Goody was "quite tough", but that in the end he had developed a "strong respect" for her.

Ingram tried to con his way to the top prize in ITV1's Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? with the aid of audience member Tecwen Whittock, who signalled the answers by coughing.

He is also awaiting sentence after being found guilty of defrauding an insurance company out of £30,000.

The pair will be seen in the Channel 4 show on 11 November.
