After a pleasant interview with the Welshman, a typically bolshy Piers said: 'You've got a big reputation, you got big arms, this time of year, I always take on my two brothers at arm wrestling
'I have a particularly good technique, big guns up here and a good wrist action so I just think maybe we should get it on' to which Flex replied 'Lets get it on!'.
As an enthusiastic Piers did some arm stretches, an impressed Flex felt his upper arms and said 'mate you have got big arms to which Piers responded 'Mate you don't want to mess with these guns. I'm serious'.
As the pair duelled, it looked as if they were on level pegging with Susanna shouting out: 'Come on Flex, don't let him win.'
