It's not only been a busy week for Jez Moxey and co at Molineux. Wolverhampton's own Suzi Perry will be taking to our screens from Friday night for a reality tv first: Only Fools On Horses!

In the week running up to Sport Relief night, Only Fools and Horses will see 12 celebrities competing in a live show jumping event every night for nine nights on BBC One.

The public will vote for who they think is the best rider (earning a shed load of cash for Sport Relief in the process) and one celebrity will be voted off each night.

Wolves fanatic Suzi Perry is one of the celebrities and she will be joined by Anna Ryder Richardson, Diarmuid Gavin, Jenny Falconer, Josie D'Arby, Matt Baker, Matt Littler, Nicki Chapman, Paul Nicholas, Ruby Wax, Sally Gunnell and Radio Ones Sara Cox.

Please follow Suzi's progress on BBC One from 8.30 on Friday (repeated 10pm on BBC 3) and show Suzi and Sport Relief your support.

Now, the questions:

Where were you when you heard the news that Glenn had resigned as manager and did it come as much of a surprise?

I was filming at the British Grand Prix at Donington Park. I received it via text. I was shocked because of the timing, but obviously I didn't know the reasons.

Over 50% of our users want to see Paul Ince given the chance but which do you believe is the best way forward?

There can be no doubt that Incey has the passion and attitude to succeed and obviously he loves the Wolves. I am a huge fan of Pauls and always have been. I'm not certain who the options are, but from what I can see it would be worth taking a gamble on Paul even though he doesn't have experience as a manager, he could emulate his career and be awesome, we could use his enthusiasm.

Jez Moxey described last season as a "Complete Disaster", do you agree?

Yes. it was hugely disappointing. We drew far to many games and I think we all expected to be going up. It was a big let down to the fans.

Where do you realistically believe we will finish next season?

In the current situation it is far too early to say. I think we will miss the like of Miller and Lescott though.

We'll all be seeing you on our screens during "Only Fools On Horses", but what else have you got lined up?

A hospital bed and a good looking Doctor!

I hope that 28,000 wolves fans will be voting on Friday at 8.30 though.

Many thanks to Suzi Perry, The BBC, Sport Relief and Hilary Knight.
