So it looks as if Luton are reprieved. For now at least.
A consortium led by TV presenter Nick Owen are close to finalising a deal to buy the club.
More well known for his long partnership with Anne Diamond, he is not without a sense of humour (well he is buying Luton for goodness sake!).
Anne, on the other hand has had more ups and downs in her career. In 1989 she hit the headlines after suggesting the best thing about the fall of the Berlin wall was increased shopping opportunities for East Germans! 1991 saw her champion the cause of cot-death following the sad loss of her baby son.
Since then she has struggled with weight problems and championed the cause of pie eaters everywhere. She was also 'outed' as a cheat on Celebrity Fat Club, when it was revealed she had had a gastric band fitted.
More recently she has taken to selling ... er .... diamonds.
Anyway, back to her former sidekick Mr Owen, who has the support of various groups of Luton fans. I reckon that if he can pull this rescue bid off, he'll be seen forever as their diamond geezer.

Interestingly, when the sad little lump that is Anne Diamond was on CFC, she was accompanied by this bloke. http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=-7165099350515766350&q=micky+quinn&total=2&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=0. He still talks about AD's behaviour on CFC. Mick, incidently, lost 4 stone and 8 pounds during his sojourn with Harvey. Ann was booted off as you rightly point out.
Clearly we now know who ate all the pies mainly.
