Abi Titmuss hits the slopes?!

So, there we were this morning quite happily munching away on our porridge washed down with a nice cuppa of Earl Grey whilst researching 'goings on' in the French Alps, when we came across an interesting snippet of Twitter conversation that, quite frankly, made us giggle...

In true heat magazine stylee, we were fascinated to read the Twitter 'conversation' between that ex-nurse famous for 'getting in a pickle' with John Leslie, Abi Titmuss and a fan. Asking her if she was enjoying the snowy weather in the UK, Abi let on that she likes a bit of skiing.

Encouraged by this little window of opportunity, the fan asks : "Where in France have you skied?", to which Ms Titmuss replies : "I've skied Verbier, Chamonix and Chitel. I had James Bond's ski instructor. Seriously. He taught Piers B for the film!".

So, Abi (who confesses she'd love to appear on Strictly Come Dancing but can't because they have a 'no previous appearances on reality shows' policy which, clearly, counts her out) just a couple of things:

1. Verbier is in Switzerland, not the French Alps

2. When you say 'Chitel' would that be Chatel or just on odd Freudian slip?

3. When you say 'I had James Bond's ski instructor', do you mean...(Now that's enough. Stop right there! - Ed)
