Sir Benjamin Slade is the eligible bachelor in question and he's willing to pay his lucky gal £50,000 a year plus bonuses if she hangs around the house with him, keeps everything tidy, and bears him an heir... "and a spare," he said.
The 72-year-old also specified that he wants a "lady of the house" who can "fly a helicopter."
Not a lot to ask for really.
Slade said that he needed a gal who was at least five foot six and someone who wouldn't run off with the handyman "like the last one."
Speaking to Ben Shepherd and Kate Garraway today, he said: "Look, you always give them pocket money and obviously you pay them a bit more with inflation."
Great, sounds good. Or a bit like you're on the hunt for some new farm animals instead of a real life human being to marry, but sure what do we know?
Garraway thought the same and questioned whether Slade's request sounded a bit "cattle market"-esque, to which he looked fairly delighted about so that answers that question anyway.These old-fashioned baby names are making a comeback in 2026
